We started the session by briefly going over the techniques covered in last week, Such as the Pak Sau and Upper Bong Sau in combination with foot work. Cham Kiu came up in conversation so he went on to explain the differences between drill and application which was an emphasis placed in the 1st session as well.
Two Steps Footwork
So to do this application footwork, the leading foot (right foot in this case) goes forward first but touches the ground at a 30 degree angle facing left, the back foot then lifts and is also turned to a 30 degree angle. So both feet should be parallel to eachother with a weight distribution ideally around the 50/50 mark but alittle on the back foot is also fine.
Once i got a basic grasp of the footwork i then repeated on my other side (starting with the left foot) in both instances i had a man sau + wau sau type of posture to recieve/deflect any technique thrown at me.
As i did not recollect what Man Sau was by name, the rest of the session went into how to use Man Sau / Wu Sau posture and how to switch the hands around to do the opposite side. It is not only good for attack and defence but to also measure the distance between yourself and the opponent.
