I've been hit with 1/4 speed elbows that have made me VERY uncomfortable!

I also find that it's the "little" shots that have a lot of effect - knees to the thigh that set up the elbow.

Wing Chun E-dub - I'm assuming from your moniker and your post that you study both Wing Chun and Muay Thai (and probably other stuff). How do you find flowing between these two arts? I studied at a Wing Chun school where the instructor had also done a fair bit of Muay Thai. When the class sparred, I rarely saw any Wing Chun (except when I foolishly tried to pak sao one of the the senior students).

But it's great fun to throw some low-line kicks during chi-sao!
