New Chi-Sau Article in JAMA

[geezer]

My Si-dai, Jeff Webb wrote an article on Chi-Sau in the current issue (Volume 18, Number 2, 2009) of Journal of Asian Martial Arts. The article is titled, "Tactile Reflex Development Through Wing Tsun's 'Sticking-Hands' Practice" and is a fairly in-depth technical examination of physiological effects and benefits of Chi-Sau training. A bit heavy reading, but no worse than some of Mook's posts, LOL. Also, it has some good picture sequences of different basic Chi-Sau drills. If you can get ahold of a copy, I'd definitely recommend it. Let me know what you think.

Is that an American publication Geezer ?
I wouldn't mind having a read of that , but I don't think we get that mag in my country.
Is there somewhere you can read it on the internet?

Hey Geezer,

That's awesome! Ill be sure to check that issue out.

Mook, yea its an American publication but I'm almost 100% positive you can get it air mailed to the UK via subscription, costs a lot more however.

 

[jarrod]

You'll have to hopefully accept my apologies on that one Mook, I really don't know why at the time of the post I had you pegged for living in the UK.

Well I'm walking away now in embarrassment. lol

Lol.

Ah, its all the same over that way anyways right? Just kidding! Actually I think I just had one to many shots at the time of the post,(it was a holiday after all) remember electronics & thinking don't go well with drinking. For all the kids that are reading this post don't drink & drive either.

Just in case there is anyone UK based that is looking for this mag you can get it at Borders if you have one near you.

I found the magazine and read the article. Very in-depth as you stated. I enjoyed it, and it goes into a lot of detail for the Wing Chun student.
