Wing Chun "The Bridging Game": Connecting Chi Sao and Lat Sao Application

The relationship between Chi Sao training and real-world Wing Chun applications is explored. This video reveals how the seemingly simple drills of Chi Sao actually form the foundation for effective self-defense techniques. In Wing Chun, "building a bridge" refers to the concept of making contact with an opponent’s arms to control, deflect, or attack effectively. The term "bridge" (橋手, Kiu Sau) represents the connection between two fighters' arms during combat. Here’s a breakdown of how to build a bridge in Wing Chun: 1. Understanding the Bridge A "bridge" is the contact point where energy is transferred between you and your opponent. It allows you to feel their movements and respond accordingly. Bridges are used to control the centerline, redirect force, and set up attacks. 2. Methods of Building a Bridge Proactive Bridging: Initiating contact using techniques like Pak Sau (slap hand), Lap Sau (grabbing hand), or straight punches to make the opponent respond. Reactive Bridging: Allowing the opponent to extend their arms first and then intercepting with techniques like Tan Sau (palm-up deflection), Bong Sau (wing arm), or Fook Sau (controlling hand). 3. Key Techniques for Bridging Pak Sau (Slap Hand) – Redirects the opponent’s attack and creates an opening. Lap Sau (Pulling Hand) – Grabs and pulls the opponent’s arm to off-balance them. Bong Sau (Wing Arm) – Deflects an incoming strike while maintaining contact. Tan Sau (Palm-up Hand) – Guides an opponent’s attack off the centerline. Chi Sau (Sticky Hands Training) – Develops sensitivity and the ability to maintain the bridge. 4. Maintaining and Controlling the Bridge Use forward intent (always pressing toward the opponent). Stay relaxed yet responsive—tension makes movements predictable. Keep the elbows down and close to the centerline for control. Adapt to the opponent’s pressure instead of resisting it directly. 5. Breaking the Bridge If an opponent establishes control, you can disrupt their bridge by: Redirecting energy (using angles). Switching levels (low-to-high attacks or vice versa). Using explosive strikes (elbows, palm strikes, or kicks). Mastering bridge-building in Wing Chun improves reaction time, control, and attack efficiency. It’s best developed through Chi Sao, drills, and sparring. https://www.my-vlma.com
