Chì Sáu is meant to be an exercise, not a sparring contest. A student should put more attention into applying proper technique than actually trying to hit your partner. The goal of Chì Sáu is to form an foundation from which you, the practitioner, can create good habits and reactions. Please follow this advice in your practice of Chì Sáu. As with any other exercise, there are rules that must be obeyed. I notice a lot of students have a misunderstanding of the rules of Chì Sáu. The following is a list of rules witch are prioritized; one being the most important and five being the least.
- The practitioner must maintain central line with technique and strikes.
- The practitioner must have contact with your partner.
- The practitioner must always move from on technique to another, thus never stopping.
- The practitioner must use the five phases of energy to apply Wing Cheun techniques.
- The practitioner must apply Wing Cheun techniques, from your forms, at all times.
