Tan Pak Sau

Tan Pak will not be applied directly middle finger over middle finger as in the single man development. 

Key Points:

Key Points: 

1. DO NOT go side to side but rather keep the intent of the block going in a forward motion

2. Exaggerate the block in the beginning and then slowly refine the block and shorten up the motion


Ngoi Kwan Sau

The other rolling hands block which will be going from the outside in.

Key Points:

1. Accentuate the transition from the Ngoi to the Jaam Sau

2. Elbow higher than shoulder and shoulder higher than hand

2. For full Gum Sau your elbow cannot be bent.


Ding Haan Sau

Blocking the upper and lower gates.

Key Points: 

1. Straight arms: no bent elbows

2. The blocks share the line during transition

3. Try to keep your fingers facing upward as possible in the Haan Position

4. Fingers and thumbs together. This goes for all blocks but is more difficult in Ding Haan



Wu Jet Sau
