How to do a Bong Sau |
|
One of the misunderstood techniques in the Wing Chun system will be the -Bong Sau (Wing Hand/ 膀手). A lot will think this technique is for blocking or intercepting a straight punch or kick. In fact, the Bong Sau in Wing Chun literature is known as 敗勢手 meaning “The Losing Hand”.
This hand movement is only used if a technique of yours fails, when a straight strike clashes on your arm or if someone grabs your lead arm. The angle of the Bong Sau as well as the shifting of the body allows you to transition into a better position without losing your bodily structure. Like all techniques, it is also important to have your Wu Sau (Protecting Hand /護手) behind your lead hand to protect your head. Wu Sau is relative to a boxer guarding their chin. It is important to keep it high. If you like this video remember to like and subscribe to my channel. This will help me out with the algorithm.
