Centreline

[Craig]

The centreline is guarded whenever possible in TWC and is utilised to great effect when doing freestyle chi sau. I have found with other WC styles that they collapse bon sau's into elbows etc and attempt to attack through the central line or outside as this can appear to be the only option.

I have found in both instances that the ability of the WC practitioner generally determines the outcome of the chi sau.

I have three questions:
1) do you train chi sau as semi contact or non contact

2) do you consider a blow to the stomach/torso a "fight ender" for the purpose of resetting, or if you hit my stomach and then I hit your head - who would you consider to of won:confused:

3) do you wait for a reaction in chi sau or simply attack to provoke a response/finish the fight?(predominantly) :boxing:

Look forward to peoples responses....
Sorry it's a little off topic from bagging TWC I hope this isn't too constructive:D

It depends where the blow landed sqaure on the chin could mean lights out but just punching someone in the head could break your hand. I have been hit many times in the face no head gear with no damage and the fight continued. Now the stomach solar plexus can be a fight stopper. As for chi sau I know its for sesitivity training but for fun I like the full contact chi sau. But when in a real fight I try not to let people get as close as chi sau does because the fight wil;l most likely go to the ground then
