Wing Chun : Loi Lau, Hoi Sung; Lat Sau Jik Chung

"In much the same way that one removes their hand from a hot surface, or responds to a pin-prick before actually consciously knowing that any danger is present, through the development of the Lat Sau Jik Chung concept, one’s body becomes 'loaded to fight' at a neural level, such that combat practical reactions take place automatically without the need of conscious thoughts to initiate them. Once again, the development of such skills involves relaxation and the use of 'soft' resistance against a greater level of force at all times—if not, then the limbs are more inclined to move towards the wrong direction, away from the opponent’s centre of mass, thus leaving the defender in the worst possible position for defence against what may follow next."
