Sticky-hand training has two parts. First, one finely tunes one’s reflexes by two training drills known as single and double rolling hands. Both of these exercises are practiced in the parallel stance in order to train both hands equally. Second, one adds fighting techniques to the single and double sticky-hands techniques so that hand-free fighting can occur. At a more advanced level, sticky-leg techniques are added so that ultimately the student works up to performing sticky-hand and sticky-leg free sparring. In this section, I shall discuss the formal exercise of rolling hands; and in the next section, combat techniques.

Single chi sao is performed by two practitioners who face each other in the parallel stance. Person A forms a left or right taun sao, which person B locks up with a right or left fook sao. There is forward force (not downward force) on both of these hand moves, but not an exaggerated amount. In other words, you aim your weapon at your opponent, but do not push it through unless he is obviously open. This is so that you do not commit yourself to any particular direction and consequently create an opening for your opponent, who could then side-pivot, redirect your force, and strike.
