Bruce Lee and His Chi Sao Energy Technique 

Chi Sao is the sentiment vitality, all the more significantly your enemy vitality. The exacting English interpretation of Chi Sao from its Chinese starting point is "vitality hand." Some likewise allude to Chi Sao as a "giving hand." All eventually right. To start with where and afterward the why of the Energy Hand. The where might be from its roots in Kung Fu or Wushu which are obviously non-specific terms for Chinese Arts as there are more frameworks that use the drills in some shape. 

The fundamental purpose of the Chi Sao is to feel your rival's vitality so you can envision where he is running with his goal and his strikes or snatches on the off chance that they are a grappler. It is genuinely a lovely thing to watch when a customary expert or instructor of Chinese expressions shows their rendition of Chi Sao bores and structures. Most are choreographed despite the fact that those with aptitude get it done to whatever the rival gives them to the extent vitality as strikes, or all the more precisely endeavored strikes. 

Presently to the most popular of the vitality hand instructors, Bruce Lee. He started his hand-to-hand fighting preparation from Yip Man his instructor in a style called Wing Chun Kung Fu. This style used a considerable lot of contact drills, and Lee spent numerous hours consummating his abilities with an accomplice. 

So the question today is, is the strategy successful in present-day battling? The appropriate response is a positive possibility. Those instructors who invest limitless measures of energy working the Chi Sao bores and showing them to their understudies would need to claim that it is extremely powerful in rendering an aggressor strikes invalid and void, and in many occasions, this could be a reality. 

Presently for the drawback. You should be in close steady contact to feel your adversaries vitality, which can actually be agony in the butt or head. What Bruce Lee discovered was that all in all the Chi Sao must be restricted in degree from what was honed as steady contact in genuine battles against a prepared military craftsman who utilized their hands and not only their feet would be hazardous. 

What I have found is that Chi Sao is practically pointless in competing. You can even now utilize catching, cutting (getting), and sticking of culpable furthest points, yet the normal individual is uncoordinated to the point that vitality got is recently too moderate, and you could more effortlessly simply strike them five times than to feel what it was they were attempting to do to you. 

Lee utilized the procedure more in the principal period of JKD than in its advancement to more compelling battle workmanship and abbreviated the drills to all the more straight line and cross vitality protections and counter strikes. This initial stage was generally adjusted Wing Chun. The second stage was progressively an unadulterated striking battle that no longer rehearsed the standard Wing Chun Chi Sao drills, however, battle-adjusted drills for the quick striking aggressors, and the third stage was essentially a Ju Jitsu grapplers paradise in which he deserted every single past technique. 

In every one of the years and research, I have never seen any Jeet Kune Do (The framework established by Lee) professional ever utilize Chi Sao legitimate in fighting. The reason I think this may be along these lines, and you are welcome to frame your own particular theory from your own perceptions, is that the strikes of JKD are so quick and non-dependent upon what the objective does, that it is just about a bit much device. Presently am I saying it is not being utilized? No, equitable not in the frame we are accustomed to viewing. As great warriors, we are continually feeling alternate people's vitality or purpose whether we are touching them or not. Our counters to this vitality just don't go up against the type of all the Chi Sao drills of the past. Here is a generally accepted fact to the extent of an assailant's vitality. In the event that a man touched me (or any great grappler or Chi Sao expert) in a totally dim room, it would not require much push to render them to torment the city.

Would customary Chi Sao like Lee educated at his initial school be of viable use against a prepared battle warrior in expressions, for example, Krav Maga? No very little as the angry strikes included would not take into consideration the round vitality movements of old. Potentially that is the reason Lee altered his Chi Sao throughout the years until it was deserted for hooking. So investing excessive energy in only one part of workmanship as the necessary chore of all assaults is absurd. 

It is practically a widespread concurrence with battle workmanship educators that the drills while valuable and a decent affectability penetrate, don't move well into present-day battle, so you will see few schools depending on the customary drills for essential safeguard. 

I have competed against numerous traditional gung fu instructors that attempt and draw off the moves to their drawback. On the off chance that your adversary is familiar with the drills and what you are doing, it resembles being incapacitated, and won't offer you the vitality you require any longer. I have likewise observed others do the same scenario with precisely the same. In summation, am I bringing down the drills? No, they have their place, yet know their limitations, and don't succumb to feeling that your Chi move is the end-all fight technique.
