Interesting. Thx for sharing your knowledge. I heard once the opposite, that tan Sao is yang because the palm is directed to the heaven an the contact point to the opponents arm is the outside of your arm and fook Sao is yin because is directed to the earth an the contact point is inside. So many interpretations of martial arts. Never get boring. Keep on training. 🙂🙏

There a few things that i do not understand 😢 You said that Tan Sao is an *underneath, inside hand* while Fuk Sao is a *over, outside hand* what does this really mean? Is it supposed to refer to the way in which they deflect energy in relation to the triangle you mentioned? If so, i still do not get what the over and underneath thing is all about You also said that the Tan Sao is an action, not a technique; but then it seems like you contradict yourself by saying "Tan Sao is a palm up hand" basically saying it *is* a technique. And yes, i did notice that you said "not a static technique" rather than just "not a technique" but you have said so many times before that Tan Sao is not a technique but a concept, so you are still contradicting the times you have said that by saying "The tan sao must have a palm of hand like this" I still do not understand when is it that you are actually supposed to use Tan Sao. Is it against straight punches? Grabs? Arm traps? A combination of those? I just don't get it... like, if it's supposed to deflect straight punches to the face, it just looks like it wouldn't work (i do realize that most of wing chun concepts and techniques come from weapon fighting so that may be why it's protecting the body instead of the head) so how do you protect your face while usin Tan Sao? Wouldn't both you and your opponent just trade punches (assuming you punch at the same time you use your Tan) Also, something that is a bit unrelated but related at the same time. From what i can see, a Wing Chun practitioner aims to have an inside (Tan) and outside (Fuk) sao hand at all times and if you have two insides, you do a Kwan Sao; but what do you do if the hand that you have back (like a Tan Sao) ends up in the outside or if both of your hands are in the outside? Is this just something to be avoided?? Because of course, i can't ask a fellow Judoka of mine "Hey, what are you supposed to do when they got you on a perfect rear naked choke??" Because the answer is "Don't let them catch you in it on the first place" (kinda, you still get what i mean) but i'm not sure if it really is a disadvantageous position or if i'm missing something. Becauase Kwan Sao seems to work to get out of the double inside position, which could mean that having your opponent in the double outside could be a bad thing So if somebody pushes you Man Sao (that from what i understand, is basically a version of Fuk Sao) into the inside of your triangle (example: they push your left man sao to the right), what you are supposed to do is just turn it into a Tan Sao, right? I think i get that (if i'm right) but what about stuff like the usual cross hand start that some Wing Chun drills have? That's basically a Fuk Sao that deflects to the opposite way... And which side are you supposed to shift to if you attempt to do a low fuk sao with one hand and a high bong sao with the other like in the Chi Sao drill?? I'm guessing the Bong Sao Side, but won't that just allow them to punch you with their other hand??? And why is it that you don't shift while doing chi sao? Is it because it's a drill and it's not supposed to teach you about footwork or for any other reason?
