One of the things the forms focus on is generating and building power. This includes when your hands are chambered. You can't generate and build power if your hands relax and/or drop.

Energy is pushed in the direction of travel. When your technique is going out, your elbow pushes energy out towards your hand. When your technique is moving back your hand pushes the energy back to and through your elbow to your other elbow. This is why it's important to have the hand moving back have the same speed and energy as the hand moving out.

Something to consider

A common misconception is that Bong-Sau starts from wherever your arm is. The problem with that is if your forearm is lower than parallel to the ground you're lifting.

Happy birthday to the man that made Ving Tsun available to everyone!

Grandmaster Ip Man was born on this day October the 1st 1893.

When performing Jut-Sau, you press downwards with the bottom of your wrist as your elbow pulls back. Your elbow should stop moving when you press down. It's important the press and elbow movement happen at the same time. Make sure you do it with speed and power to ensure you're able to borrow properly.

Don't try to hook your opponent, that's grappling and isn't effective.

Your middle finger should be inline with your elbow, don't turn your wrist to force your hand to face either forwards or sideways.
