[aseepish]

Here's some very sloppy-looking Chi sao.

And some Chen-style pushing hands. There are some interesting throws in the last minute or so of the clip.

They?

The only person I know that is trying to introduce that is Emin Bozetpe, and I feel that's a load of bs. You have other Wing Chun practitioners like Augustine Fong, that has includede Muay Thai, and BJJ with his WC training.

Thats why they introduced their fairly ridiculous "Anti Grappling!" that some would have you believe was in the system all along......

^Hurray for cross-training and ground work!

ALSO, I don't like sticky hands for hitting very much, but if you mix up light striking with Chin Na, I bet it helps you develope your wrist/elbow locks against a resisting opponent, while using feel instead of sight. Any comments on using Sticky Hands for Chin Na? Good idea, bad idea?

Now you're thinking! That's Good Kung-Fu!

Chi Sao (sticky hands) is an exercise which developes sensitivity of the hands to feel and deflect the opponent's force.
This method is not exclusive to Wing Chun.
Similar practices are done in Tai Chi - Tui Show and Escrima - Hubad.
The goal is the same but the paths are different.
