part II

.... in a lot of combat with multiple attackers (on the street) and with many dozen black belts etc.

I'm happy to do requested vids if possible so we can do realtime chi sau etc., however, my vids are mainly to show how to avoid the mistakes that one sees in all those many realtime examples on youtube.

thanks and be well.

Great question. I'm mostly focusing on the physics and detailed understanding of same without which the WC doesn't "pop". It may be useful but it's still shit when compared to the high standard of what is possible.

As to "live" contact-sparring. Anyone looks good beating up their own students. "Real" fighting is still approximated in any case as VT is of course deadly. So, if you mean you'd like to see chi sau in play no prob but if it's real combat, again this isn't sport. I've been ......

Excelente , muy bueno o mas bien muy malo

Yuppers. Chum Kil Sau would be the midrange finger tip distance in chi sau. Bil Gee Sau is long range in chi sao. I'm presuming I mumble-mixed them up. (not gonna watch the vid again to find out - lol)

thanks.

Biu Jee Sau is Thrusting fringers

Chum kiu is seeking the bridge

If your a kung fu master maybe you know Sifu Alex Ricther in New York city you should stop by his Kuen and test out your chi sau skills.

[heartslord]

Love to meet him but not likely.

As to testing. I sparred with over fifty black belts and have played chi sao with prolly 500 players plus Grandmaster Moy Yat so I'm not so much in the new testing phase but I love chi sao and making acquaintances so thanks for the great thoughts.

[heartslord]

it's the Bil Jee Sau. Explained above. Seeking a bridge.

The fingers are not extended for combat, they are meant to touch, roughly fingertip to fingertip to establish a point of contact to begin the exercise. They are "discarded" when they fold into long range chi sao, the next stage of entry from zero contact, then no more fingers.

Of course, this was more succinctly explained above.

Good thoughts though, from good understanding. Already answered but more in detail now.

[sagittalstacking]

bold claim how you have the knives set up there in the backround brother heart.

[GearsOfWar1235]

y dont u just start out in a chi sao roll with ur eyes closed instead of doing the spirit finger thing?

[heartslord]

In VT we check the hands and we KNOW that we can enter, prior to just running in and imagining that there are no defenses. Further we must have complete control (not difficult with mastery) to enter.

This vid demonstrates Bil Jee Sau or "seeking the bridge", a method to move to striking range after initial contact. The next stage is "long range chi sau" starting from no contact and quickly moving through Bil Jee Sau with supposedly, complete efficiency and economy.

thanks,

Sifu Tom Chi

really good kung fu looks really bad! But works perfectly well.I Loved to see Moy Yat Ving Tsun kung fu again

[kngkhan]

i couldn't agree more

[riccardomilani]

Yep!!what if the attak comes from a distance...for istance against a good boxer?

[heartslord]

Boxers can take a lot of body shots, of course our objective is not to stand there & take a million punches. The one huge difference from boxing and other karate/kung fu is that in VT once we make contact we don't release it. We use it to our advantage and we use the science of the VT to move ourselves into the opponents centerline. It's as precise as the movement through the Panama Canal. No errors, no guesswork, it's an art but the science is what "guarantees" the result.

I don't now..I mean..in boxing it is not guessing, and I will never and never have contact with a kung fu master...i would only punch 2/3 times and get off his range...what if U do go against a boxer?very nice is instead the use of the center line...very fast very accurate...very dangerous. :) ciaoo

[mrjack001]

What comes, we take, what goes we follow, free hands fly forward

Nice to see multiple ranges being explored!
