Jowsau is a Cantonese term that can be translated into 'Fleeting Hand' and is a practice trained in Chi Sau within Wing Chun training. It is used when the partner's force is not aimed straight forward which allows one to release the incoming force and strike through. It is not really a technique used for combat but more of a sensitivity practice.
To perform Jowsau correctly and smoothly is to be able to keep continuous forward force from the elbow while navigating around the partner's arm with the wrist. So there should be no gap in your defense while performing the movement. This is much easier said than done. Therefore, to attain the ability is to apply proper 'elbow force' and not pressing at the contact point.
Jowsau therefore creates a spring like force that is effortless and very fast. The partner should feel that suddenly there is nothing to press against and at that moment they are struck.
A fun and worthy practice to add to your chisau practice indeed...
