Then he/she pulls your arm down. Repeat this process.
To know if your Bong Sau is correct try to palm your partner. If your arm is not firm or too straight he/she can hit you. If your arm is firm and in the correct position, it will deflect your partner’s hand above your head.
If while you pull your partner holds on to your wrist the action will break the hold.
Chi Sao is an advanced Wing Chun drill used to improve touch sensitivity and harnesses flowing energy (chi). It also increases body balance and promotes the looseness of the arms and body.
If Chi Sao interests you, you can get Sam Fury’s book here.

Wing Chun Kicks Training
The stomp kick, sidekick, and front kick are fundamental Wing Chun kicking forms. This lesson teaches how to do these 3 basic kicks on a single spot. It helps to improve balance, body position, leg strength and technique.
Start from the half squat position and then turn into the switching side’s position with approximately 70% of your weight on your rear leg.
Raise your rear leg so your knee is parallel to the floor.
Angle your foot out slightly as you kick your foot out. The sole of your foot is what would hit the target. The target is your opponent’s thigh or knee. Do not straighten your leg fully, i.e., your knee should not “lock” into place.
This is the stomp kick.
Bring your leg back to the position where your knee is parallel to the floor. Angle your foot slightly in so you can do a sidekick. The sidekick strikes at an imaginary shin target.
Bring your leg back to the position where your knee is parallel to the floor. Thrust it straight out into a front kick. The target would be the gut of your opponent. Your foot is vertical.
Bring your leg back and then down to the ground. As you do so, adopt the half squat position.
Turn to your other side and repeat the three kicks with your other leg.
Finally, do the 3 kicks to the center, i.e., do not turn to the side.
Wing Chun Elbow Drill
This Wing Chun elbow form will help increase response time, muscle memory, etc.
Your partner comes in to elbow. Step back and use your hand to defend. This stepping back helps to absorb the Wing Chun Elbow energy. If you do not step back, you will probably get hurt.
Your other hand then comes from underneath.
Use your initial hand to pin down your opponent’s Wing Chun elbow position.
Now you step forward with your own Wing Chun elbow force. Do not lean in. Keep your body upright and use your whole body to produce the Wing Chun elbow power.
As you come in your partner steps back and defends. This back and forth continues.
Wing Chun Demonstration Videos
Mostly what these Wing Chun videos show is that when pitted against other pure martial arts, Wing Chun doesn’t fair too badly. But against an opponent that knows modern MMA, Wing Chun in a real fight is not practical.
These days, people take techniques from a variety of martial arts and combine them into street fighting that works. This is what you should do too if your aim is to learn practical self defense.
Of course, if you want to learn a traditional martial art for all the other reasons people like to study martial arts, then Wing Chun is one of my favorites.
