Dynamic Chi Sao Book by William Cheung (Preowned)

Chi sao drills constitute some of the most important training in the wing chun kung-fu system. While many chi sao techniques do not apply to actual combat, training in this fundamental wing chun drill will help students develop contact reflexes, which are the keys to victory in a live combat situation.

Chi sao training develops close-quarter coordination and close-quarter focusing; improves mobility, balance, timing and accuracy; increases chi power; and creates ample targets and openings in which to attack and counter.

Dynamic Chi Sao is written and demonstrated by grandmaster William Cheung, one of the world's most respected traditional kung-fu technicians and a former top disciple of wing chun grandmaster Yip Man.

Illustrated with more than 250 empty-hand forms and two-man applica-tions, Dynamic Chi Sao guides you step by step through the wing chun chi sao curriculum, including: Common Chi Sao Mistakes; The 5 Stages of Chi Sao Drills; Wing Chun Footwork; The Larp Sao Cycle; and Cross-Arm Chi Sao. There's even a special chapter on seldom-seen double-arm chi sao techniques.

In Dynamic Chi Sao, William Cheung takes the chi sao lessons he learned directly from the great Yip Man and explains them in a format any martial artist of any style can understand and incorporate into his arsenal of training techniques.
