He looks pretty quick but his chi sau is pretty basic, he does a bong lap of somethin then just attacks, i dont rekon he would be able to touch sifu coz he wouldnt get the trap on.  |

Umm from a physics point of view, you accelerate your arm, then in training your decelerate again before impact and before hyperextension using oposing muscles tension.
In theory maybe we shouldn't ever do a punch without hitting something, so we never train any reflex of slowing down on the end. This obviously isn't practical, as it would mean you couldn't even chain punch air.
Basically in order to go incredibly quick without impacts you have to train the oposing muscle activating a couple of inches before impact to stop your hand. This guy is clearly very good at doing this - there are no impacts in the video.
Bearing this in mind we still have the whirlpool energy concept after the punch we whip it back asap to deliver the next in the chain. This is quite different, and I suppose for training we subsitute for this with slowing down before impact.
What do you guys think?

well, personally, I find it easier to go faster when I actually connect with something. Not entirely sure why. Perhaps its feeling the connection on the target that triggers me pulling my hand back faster than if I'm just practising chain punches in thin air...

i think training the ability of 'control' (the ability to not injure or kill your training partner) is a very important skill to learn, not just for your partners sake. because if you have complete control over your ability to strike, when the time comes when you actually need to hit someone, the focus will be more on the intent of doing damage as opposed to thinking about technique, and as a result actuall fighting will be much more fluent and quick then training.
but when in training thinking about not hitting someone means you are in turn thinking about technique and thus are really concentrating on what you are doing.
But you definatly definatly need to actually hit something like a wall bag, as this is the only way to condition the Muscles/tendons/bones, understand inch energy, and generally learn what it feels like to strike. also like Tom sez the feeling of snapping it back also becomes more natural, as if you didnt u would send all the energy you created into ur own arm. obviously NOT good.
