Chi Sau is not an agreement between gentlemen

Chi Sau is, to some extent, an agreement between two people who will, through varying the grip of the arms, perform coordinated movements between upper and lower limbs. Whether used as a technique learning tool or viewed from the outside by the inexperienced, Chi Sau looks like just an agreement.

 

But Chi Sau is not an agreement between gentlemen, much less an invitation to dance. Chi Sau is the opportunity that the system provides for the practitioner to experience the condition of being someone who, first, can be hurt, and then hurt. At a high level, it is the opportunity to experience the possibility of dying or killing. In this order.

 

However, no one needs to be hurt, hurt someone, die or kill to experience the human development that vulnerability and lethality offer. Like babies and children, who feel helpless in the face of a world full of unpredictability and other threatening living beings, the first times we do Chi Sau we feel fragile. The human body remains fragile, but after a while, we realize that we can also hurt and kill others, who are just as fragile. I believe that this perception is a turning point, and that is when many practitioners of Ving Tsun move away from Mo Gun: as soon as they realize that Chi Sau is not an agreement between gentlemen.
