www.londonwingc... ► Wing Chun is well known for Seeking the Bridge, but you are really asking to be punched in the face. This is because another use of this Wing Chun technique is to 'Ask' for a punch. By simply placing your hands forward you are basically asking someone to punch you. This sounds dangerous but there are many benefits to holding the centre ground and letting the attacker punch you.
So, Man Sao relates well as an effective self defence technique. The term literally translates as 'Asking' or ‘Questioning’ arm, but is often referred to as the ‘Inquisitive’ arm of Wing Chun. Man Sao is often thought of as the guard hand of Wing Chun. Contrary to this miss understanding Man Sao is not typically a guard as in other martial arts.
Guard hands in other martial arts or boxing are typically a technique of protecting the head or body from the attacker’s punches. The idea being that the arms stay close to the head in order to prevent strikes landing. In Wing Chun, the idea is not necessarily a way of blocking punches. Instead, Man Sao is a technique of moving between offensive and defensive action. The shape is a method of obtaining a link or a contact (referred to in Wing Chun as a Bridge) between two bodies. It is simply a method of seeking and/or establishing contact with an attacker.
We discuss why this technique is important to control distance to your attacker, and how this technique can be used to set up a Wing Chun Chain Punches for Self Defence (also watch • A Beginners Guide to W... ). Remember, the purpose of Man Sao is to bridge contact with an attacker in order to control that person’s movement, space, and distance. The next video will cover how to use the Man Sao Wing Chun technique to set up a a trap by using a probing technique.
