Chi Sao Should Resemble the Hard Style Technique of Bridging Arms

-
Someone inquired about the concept of Chi Sao. This is a short response to it 

Many mainstream Wing Chun practitioners assume that it should look like Taiji's soft pushing hands - that's incorrect. 

Chi Sao is akin to the hard style technique of Qiao Shou or Kiu Sao (橋手), involving the forceful clash of arms through striking, blocking, and diverting. It's intense sparring at close range without causing any actual harm.

Chi Sao is similar to the content in the videos below.

Disclosure   Mainstream Wing Chun  Mainstream Wing Chun Mainstream Wing Chun ---- Chat GPT 's analysis: "Great question. Let’s break this down from a purely scientific and biomechanical perspective—forgetting Wing Chun exists, and imagining a new martial art that teaches practitioners to jam their arms into the center of their body to perform blocks, diversions, and strikes. 1. Anatomical Considerations The arms have natural range of motion that allow them to move freely to the sides, diagonally, and forward. Jamming the arms into the centerline of the body restricts this range. The shoulders, elbows, and wrists are designed to work in coordinated arcs.

Misconceptions Around Training Ancient Techniques on Punching Bags Many traditional martial artists don’t realize that practicing ancient strikes on a punching bag is fundamentally flawed.

Someone asked me to describe this issue. A normal punch is straight and aligned with the body and it gets the support of body mass. This mainstream Wing Chun punch is crooked (wrong angles). And the arm is fragmented (nunchaku). The body mass isn't supporting the punch correctly. It feels like the punch and the body are heading toward different directions (top arrows).
