Wing Chun Technique of the week #12-Covering the Bong Sao with Gan Sao

The 5th section of the Wing Chun dummy form opens with 2 gan saos before the bong sao. This particular bong sao is vulnerable to an attack from the opponent’s opposite arm both high and low. Hence, Ip Man said that gan sao covers bong sao. As there is no predicting where the opponent’s next attack will go, the gan sao can cover the for the bong sao both high and low simultaneously and be used as a springboard to a counterattack of the practitioner’s choosing.
