Wing Chun: Chi Sao, Also Known As Sticky Hands
As most of you know, before developing Jeet Kune Do (Way of the intercepting fist) Bruce Lee started his martial arts training in Hong Kong under the highly acclaimed kung fu instructor, Ip Man, in the style of Wing Chun, as described in “Introducing Wing Chun“.
One exercise that you practice to improve your sensitivity, reflexes and the way you absorb and send back offensive energy is known as Chi Sao or sticky hands.
When I was training in Wing Chun years ago, Chi Sao was referred to as ‘thinking without thinking’.
Perfecting Chi Sao will help you become a well-rounded fighter.
I will also tell you from my personal experience that for a beginner and even at an intermediate level it can be one of the most frustrating martial arts training experiences. When you think you got, you don’t!
Chi Sao does not replace sparring and fighting. It simply complements these disciplines and what I have noticed is that the best Wing Chun practitioners are all really good at Chi Sao.
There is a saying in Wing Chun, “Stay with what comes, follow as it retreats, thrust forward as the hand is freed.”

FREE: 5 Unique Pushups To Elevate Your Training Program
Every martial artist knows how important pushups are in any training program.
Boy, I sure do. And we did a lot of them in karate, boxing and Muay Thai.
Pushups are considered by many experts the single most effective exercise not only because of the number of different muscles involved.
The primary muscles used are generally, chest, triceps, anterior deltoid muscles.
Also positively affected are lower back, biceps and leg quadriceps.
Depending on how large of a pushup workout you implement, you are even improving your metabolism, circulation and cardiovascular health.
And you’re only using your own bodyweight!!!
I have selected 5 unique pushups demonstrated in a video that is just over 2 minutes.
You’re gonna love it!
