Technique of the Week #11-Wing Chun Bong Sao

This is an application of bong sao from the 5th section of the wooden dummy form. The interesting thing about the bong sao here is that it’s not used alongside your footwork as a means to get to the outside gate. Rather, the Wing Chun practitioner simply turns with a lap sao and a chop as the opponent’s other punch comes. The opponent is pulled off balance as he attacks into a vacuum while committing to the second punch, The fan sao, or continuation of the attack, is up to the practitioner. The entry has been made and you should follow up with whatever efficient combinations you are comfortable with.
