Both sides have the elbow about a fists distance in front of the body | 2. Side A attempts an inside center palm strike to the chest of partner B. Partner B, on sensing movement, rotates the forearm to the Sinking hand or "Jum sau" position. Both sides relax. The Jum sau is meant to be a passive connecting arm to connect with your partner's force. | 3. Side B change the Jum sau or sinking hand to a punch. The forward force of the punch changes side A's hand into a Wing hand or "Bong sau" position. The Bong sau is very relaxed. Now both sides return to step 1. | |||||
