  • you shouldnt need padding. bruises are good. it conditions ur forearms. eventually the pain goes away and it goes away fast if you dont use pads. my sifu hits the hardest in the class of couse. but from all the drills the slap was only like a scratching type of feel. but lawl he slapped me hard enough for a small piece of skin to explode out and start bleeding.

  • Also, look at the defenders motions. As the Pak Sau slaps away the guard hand, the defender turns to go into low Bong Sau (presenting his elbow into the attacker) and does a thrusting Tan Sau with his other hand. Trust me when I tell you that the Tan Sau to your inside (attacking) arm hurts like a son of a bitch when it is done well - hence the padding. In fact, ALL techniques start to hurt when you repeat them over and over, and with focus.

  • Man i miss sparring. The only padding we used in training was a face mask (For obvious reasons).

  • @Maruqis That's because you're a weak pussy.

  • this is not a pak sau drill but a slapping drill

  • @heckald sure sounds like he gave you a spanking

  • ohhh haha i learned this in science, it relys on the nervous system. the nervous system acts more quickly than the brain. so use your reflexes. dont think, just do. we did the same thing but we had to catch a ruler. much easier than this.

  • Why u use tan sao after the attack and u dont hit at once?

  • @reskillmows if your a pussy

  • @Maruqis dude shut up

  • @Maruqis

    right, if you do it properly it hurts, deep, and for the sake of practicing for longer periods, it helps to wear padding

  • I agree, the pak sao should NOT be downward. If the other person reacts and pulls his arm back, the pak hand will drop leaving yourself open, and unable to recover before being hit. this is why its forward energy not downward or outward.
