Chi Sau is not fighting, it is a training method. Chi sau while blindfolded is just another method. Many skills are being trained during chi sau. I might press, probe, use strength, create openings, speed up, slow down, as I test my partner to see if they can take advantage. Having experienced chi sau wearing a blindfold it is not necessary to repeat all the time, since over-emphasis can develop bad habits. There should be no change in ones chi sau either with a blindfold or without. Here I am working at the level of each individual student, matching their intensity and working with whatever they give me.
