We have had some great private feedback from many instructors on the benefits this Wing Chun Chi Sau Tutorial DVD had given them.

Now we have to convince them to be bold enough to write their reviews publicly…!

In this first Chi Sau Video clip above, we introduce one of the most well known training applications used in Wing Chun Kuen. However, Chi Say is also the most misunderstood. 

Wing Chun practitioners train to develop particular skills using Chi Sau but it is far from sparring and ‘fighting’.  

Chi Sau or ‘sticky hands’ is simply a unique training approach that has evolved over many generations to become an integral part of the stylists development.

If one is familiar with the clinch in Boxing, it should not be too difficult to imagine clinching that allows chops to the throat, elbow strikes, joint pressure, headbutts and more….

Sau Chi Sau, Mo Dei Jau:  When I stick With Your Hands, There Is Nowhere To Run.

The above quote could come across as arrogant, however, this is not the case. The statement is simply a reminder of the goal to which Wing Chun Kuen students aspire. It is the aim of all students to improve their skill level to a point where it is not necessary to kill their opponent!

In this Chi Sau Video (Chi Sau Video Chapter 1 of 18) James Sinclair introduces the simple concepts and approach taken to Chi Sau with regard to Distance.

WHAT IS CHI SAU?

 
Wing Chun Chi Sau, or “Sticking Hands,” is a foundational training exercise designed to develop sensitivity, reflex, and close-range combat skills by maintaining light contact with an opponent’s arms.
 
Chi Sau enables practitioners to “feel” an opponent’s structural weaknesses and incoming attacks through touch rather than sight.
 
Key Aspects of Chi Sau:
  • Purpose: Builds rapid reflexes, enhances sensitivity to pressure/direction, and helps practitioners maintain their own structure while breaking the opponent’s.
  • Methodology: Often practiced via Poon Sao (rolling arms) to develop continuous, fluid motion, allowing practitioners to flow with an opponent’s energy.
  • Application: It is not free-sparring, but a bridge to it, allowing for the application of techniques from the three main forms (Siu Nim Tau, Chum Kiu, Biu Jee) in a dynamic, controlled environment.
  • Benefits: Improves hand speed, reduces reaction time, and teaches how to manipulate an opponent’s energy.
     
  • Synonyms and Related Terms:
    • Sticky Hands: The most common English translation.
    • Luk Sao: Rolling arms with forward pressure.
    • Poon Sao: The formal rolling arm pattern.
    • Seung Chi Sau: Double-arm sticking hands.
    •  
    Usage Examples in Training:
    • Sensory Training: With eyes closed, a practitioner feels an opponent’s energy shift to instinctively counter a punch.
    • Deflection: Using a tahn sau or bong sau (basic arm movements) to redirect an opponent’s strike away from the centerline.
    • Trapping: Utilising the fook sau (focusing hand) to control the opponent’s arm, leading into strikes or taking their balance.
    • Closing Distances: Training the ability to stay relaxed while transitioning from initial contact into close-range striking.
