Tan Sau

The Tan Sau, in Trash.MainSiuLimTao is a blocking technique, with the arm held out in front, fingers pointing forward and palm facing upwards. The elbow should be kept a fist's distance forward from the body and the outside of the arm makes contact with the opponent.

A strong structure can be maintained by twisting the arm slightly; rotating the thumb down and little finger upwards.

As an advanced technique, the Tan Sau can be used in a more aggressive, attacking manner.

The Tan Sau is a basic position in Chi Sau and is practiced with a partner in the Bong Sau? / Tan Sau exercise.
