3. ROTATIONAL FORCE

The Wing Chun fighter’s hand must be flexible like a snake, one of the animals that is used to symbolically represent the system. Many sticky-hand skills are based upon rotation of the wrist or elbow to secure strikes. You may, for example, by haun sao or wrist twisting, get both of your hands on the superior inside position and force the opponent’s arms out of his center-line, attacking with a double palm strike. Again, if your hand is on the outside position, you may rotate your hand inside the opponent’s center-line and flick your fingers into his face. Another excellent skill from the Bil Jee form is to rotate an arm that is on the inside of an opponent’s upheld arm, cutting down with a palm strike or hammer punch into the opponent’s face.

4. GRAB-AND-CHOP TECHNIQUE

The grab-and-chop technique is an excellent skill that can be devastating in combat. The idea of this technique is to grab the opponent’s hand under the bridge (forearm) of your bong sao and launch a chop to the throat. This chop is usually blocked by the opponent with a taun sao. However, you can then grab the taun sao and pull and chop above it, pulling the opponent down at a 45-degree angle. This second chop will be successful because the opponent’s balance is destroyed as he is forced to trip over himself. This skill is used extensively in Wing Chun’s chin-na, which is discussed below.
