I study under one of Sifu Kenneth Chung's senior students, and we have always been told that practicing the form correctly and comfortably in the set will allow you to apply it in action. I don't see how locking the elbows will help though, if you overextend like that in a fight your arm is gone O_O! I was just curious

[creamyhorror]

@amkdeath We extend till locking during the set, but not during sparring. I'm not sure how this squares with what your teacher says, but I think we agree that locking joints in fighting is bad.

[amkdeath]

he's overextending his arms and locking his elbows. Bad habit.

[creamyhorror]

@amkdeath It's the practice in our style to lock joints while doing the set. This may of course be different from other schools.

[vyvial]

@creamyhorror Yes, locking the elbows during forms helps strengthen the joint capsule and connective tissue of the elbow, SNT is attribute training, not fight training. However, a good practice every once in a while is to visualize all the movements in SNT as practical fighting techniques and let them take the shape and energy within that context. Everyone will look different but it is interesting to see how the form can change during this type of training.

@amkdeath actually the emphasis is not really on locking the elbows, but rather full extension of the fist/palm. The idea is to train ourselves to "let the energy go" and not to hold anything back.  Naturally in chi sao or sparring you would not leave your arm out like that.
