Volume 3: Chi-sau
Wing Chun’s Sticking-Hands Training
Official Training Curriculum
of the Arizona Wing Chun Association®
Dear Phil… This is undoubtedly your most thorough work to date. Even though I’ve learned Chi-sau and Lap-sau, I can’t believe the depth you’ve gone into Volume 3: Chi-sau. The thoroughness of your work truly shines through. Amazing!
Each main topic has its own workbook for in-depth study, and you have really provided a useful tool here that all lineages should take note on. They could learn a few things when creating their own media. Great job!

Dear Wing Chun friends and colleagues…
All Wing Chun practitioners feel that Chi-sau is important, which is an understatement. The methods, movements and concepts of Wing Chun are certainly effective, but what makes them effective are the Chi-sau concepts.
Without Chi-sau, everything we do would be considered a mechanical reaction rather than automatic. And that is exactly what Chi-sau is all about: putting yourself on auto-pilot so that when a situation occurs, you do not even have to think about it. Instead, you just do it.
Chi-sau, or Sticking-hands, is the act of training the arms how to immediately determine the direction and power of an attack once contact is made. Knowing what the opponent is doing before the attack fully executes allows us to cut off the attack in mid-action. In this way, the attack is intercepted before it completes with full power.
In essence, the opponent is “telling” us what he is doing.
There are a few good publications on the market that illustrate what Chi-sau is about, as well as a few others that take you through some of its training. None of them, however, take you beyond a very basic level. Why? Because they do not want to release their “secrets.”
For just a moment, though, let’s be realistic.
If you took all of the websites currently available, plus all of the videos on YouTube, Google Video, etc., you could almost reconstruct the Wing Chun system – including Chi-sau – in its entirety. There is really no mystery to it, and anyone with the time available can do it.
The real problem is, do you have that much time?
“Volume 3: Chi-sau”
Volume 3: Chi-sau takes the guesswork out of your training by delivering a fully progressive curriculum in Chi-sau, Lap-sau and Chi-gerk. I will show you exactly how to train these programs step-by-step, what to look for, the key points for making them work, and the concepts and theories behind the actions that are happening.
Combining the three primary distance learning methods of videos, photos, and text, Volume 3 takes you by the hand throughout each element of training in a quick and logically-progressive format with a complete series of videos, photos, drills, and comprehensive concepts/theories.
Part 1: Chi-dan-sau
Single-arm Sticking-hand
Registered ESBN 24245-120209-133826-22
Part 1: Chi-dan-sau introduces you to the world of Sticking-hands. Here you will learn how to position your arm for interpreting the many actions that result in attacks and defenses, as well as the footwork used for absorbing and deflecting force.

Double-arm Sticking-hands

Part 2: Chi-sheung-sau continues your Chi-sau training by introducing the double-arm curriculum. From basic rolling to rolling with force, from stepping to the seven primary attacks and defenses, Chi-sheung-sau is the epitome of taking your Wing Chun skills to the next level.

In-depth Discussions of Concepts & Theories
Understand the “why’s” behind the movements vs just the movements themselves to give you more insight about what Chi-sau, Lap-sau and Chi-gerk accomplishes. This lets you progress faster and learn more efficiently along the way.
Step-by-Step Training Objectives
Outlining what each lesson plan entails, you will never go into a section blind. Instead, you will know exactly what you will be learning and what is expected with each training phase.
Progress Indicators
Know immediately how far into the curriculum you have accomplished, which is an excellent motivator for continuing your training. No More Guesswork!
Based on Approved Distance Learning Guidelines
True learning resources must be approached from the viewpoint of the learner, not the writer. Therefore, professionally-certified distance learning educators were consulted to provide guidance on the format and to ensure consistency throughout the workbook.
Instructional System Design (ISD)
In addition to approved distance learning guidelines and principles, the entire format is driven from the foundation of Instructional System Design (ISD). This is the same logical foundation that programmers use when creating applications that require step-by-step progression from section-to-section.
Volume 3: Chi-sau goes where no other Chi-sau related publication has gone before by bringing you the full core curriculum in its teachings. Instead of bits and pieces, your training is the actual core material from which everything else is derived.
In fact, let me share with you just a small sample of real comments from real customers of Volume 3: Chi-sau. These are just brief examples of what I continuously receive. Practitioners love their workbook that much!
Si-Fu Phil… I’ve always wanted to learn Chi-sau but admittedly I couldn’t afford private lessons. However, getting a few friends involved as training partners and undertaking Chi-sau as presented in Volume 3: Chi-sau is a remarkable training experience.
I can’t tell you how grateful I am that you’ve helped me realize my dream of actually learning Chi-sau and what it’s all about. Thank you!

Phil… I have every Chi-sau related publication and video out there, and without a doubt Volume 3: Chi-sau is the BEST.
I cherish my own grandmaster’s Chi-sau publications, but admittedly they are somewhat sparse and still leave you with questions. But yours? You go right to the heart of things and bring out the qualities that Chi-sau truly represents. More! More!

Dear Phelipe… After just finishing up reading all four workbooks of your excellent Volume 3: Chi-sau, I have to tell you that Volume 3 is far under-priced for what you deliver!
I have your other publications so I already knew it would be more than worth it, but this one? You should seriously consider raising the price. While we all love saving money, you have to be losing out by providing such an intense series as such a low price.

Phil… Volume 3: Chi-sau has kept me up for almost 2 days going through the curriculums and videos. I simply couldn’t stop reading! To think, now everyone has the opportunity of learning Chi-sau and Lap-sau without having to search tons of Internet sites or spending thousands of dollars for lessons. I can’t use just one word to describe it. It’s unbelievable! Remarkable! What else can I say?!

Not only have users of Volume 3: Chi-sau seen first-hand how easy it is to use their workbooks, but they have also seen how easy it is to incorporate the lessons learned into their training sessions. And imagine the excellent practitioners that some of us will get to train with one day because of it?
For experienced practitioners who are already versed in Chi-sau, now they have a step-by-step training curriculum to also use for their own students. They now have access to a logical program of training that will assist them with dissecting what is happening, how it is happening, and why.
In short, whether you are new or experienced in Chi-sau, Volume 3: Chi-sau is for everybody.
But like other publications in our eBook Training Series, I want to be honest and upfront with you by saying that
This Program Is NOT For Everyone!
Volume 3: Chi-sau was created for those that actually want to train and learn what Chi-sau, Lap-sau and Chi-gerk are all about. It was not created for just watching a few videos and then thinking that you can get something out of it. Instead, it is geared for literal training and for those who are serious about what they are learning.
Therefore:
- If living in front of the television is your idea of training, this workbook is not for you.
- If you think that watching a few videos vs. actually training the drills will magically create a skill set, this workbook is not for you
- If you are one of those YouTube or Google Video “keyboard warriors” that trash talks everyone instead of getting out there and doing it yourself, this workbook is not for you.
In other words, if you are not ready to make a concerted effort in your training, then do not expect a skill set to magically appear. Like everything else that involves physical movement, Wing Chun – and particularly Chi-sau – requires work. And a lot of it!
So if you are of the mindset that reading about Chi-sau will create the skill, then you are in the wrong place because Volume 3 will do nothing for you.
But if you are ready to get involved and really explore what Chi-sau and Lap-sau is all about, then you came to the right place, because Volume 3: Chi-sau is the real deal.
Isn’t it time that you experienced this training for yourself? And to make it even better, I am including a few time-limited FREE resources so that you can get the most out of your training efforts.
“How To Train Wing Chun”
(Value: $24.95)
Originally created for my personal students, I decided to make this special eBook report available to customers of our eBook Training Series to further your training efforts.
Chapters include:
- “The Five Stages of Learning” – Understanding the five stages of learning and how to take a simple process for applying it to any level of training.
- “Forms Training” – Forms training is more than just mimicing what you see; instead, there are a variety of elements that can help you get the most from your efforts if you know about them. With this chapter, you will.
- “Specialized Training” – Utilizing Chi-sau, Lap-sau and Chi-gerk during sparring sessions.
- “Creating Power” – Still having problems generating the kind of jack-hammer hitting power you know you should be? That will be a thing of the past after working through this chapter.
- “Staying Relaxed” – Wing Chun requires a calm, relaxed, explosive nature in order to deliver our fighting methods. Here you will learn how to remain relaxed throughout your rigorous training and sparring sessions.
- “Reality vs Classroom” – Many have approached their training from an unrealistic viewpoint, working dangerous and unworkable actions in the gym and thinking it will work in real life. In this chapter, I will show you how to keep your training at a realistic level so that you do not fall into the trap of training something in a way that can see you hurt when you really need it.

And Just When You Thought It Couldn’t Get Any Better…
THINK AGAIN!
Wing Chun practitioners can be pretty finicky with their training media, and rightly so. Many of us have been duped by books or videos promising something, only later to learn that they do not deliver even half of what they promised. And in the end, it makes us all a bit “gun shy” about purchasing anything again unless we can see it right up front first.
That is why I am taking all of the risk out of your purchase – right here, right now – with my
100% No-Questions-Asked
Money-Back Guarantee And…
FREE LIFETIME UPGRADES!
Let’s Wrap This Up And Get You Into Your eBook!
You have seen what Volume 3: Chi-sau is all about, and you know what it will do for you.
108 narrated full and slow-motion videos.
340 full-color photos.
Intuitive step-by-step training drills for the applications.
In-depth concepts and theories.
A complete testing section.
Phenomenal bonuses valued at over $275.00!
Certificate of Completion at the conclusion of the course.
I have shown you the door and now it is time for you to make the decision. You can either experience for yourself what Chi-sau and Lap-sau are all about, or you can walk away with no hard feelings. Wing Chun is not for everyone, and not everyone has the dedication it takes to actually learn it, especially Chi-sau. That is just how life is.
But if you are ready, then Volume 3: Chi-sau is waiting for you.
How Much Is It?
It is no secret that I have spent a small fortune during the creation and development for the eBook Training Series, and Volume 3: Chi-sau is no different. From writing, editing, filming, and working all of the programs into approved distance learning guidelines, the amount of time and money for this project would blow you away (I will give you a hint, though: it was literally in the thousands of dollars).
Market research clearly indicated that this type of training media should sell for a minimum of $160.00, and that would be a bargain itself. However, my personal philosophy is that Wing Chun training should be available for everyone without breaking their bank accounts. Especially in today’s economy, who can afford that?
So you will not see it for $160.00. In fact, you will not even see it for $120.00, $100.00, or even $50.00. Right now, you can experience Wing Chun’s phenomenal Chi-sau training curriculum for only
$34.95
Yes, you read that right. For only $34.95, you receive the entire Chi-sau training package that you have been reading about.
Now, I know that some of you might be asking “Why so inexpensive?” You are glad it is, but it is still a question, right? Well, the answer is pretty simple: What good does a training resource do if it is so expensive that only a few could ever afford it?
My view is that quality training should be available to everyone, and I refuse to take advantage of my Wing Chun colleagues by making things so expensive that you have to save up forever just to acquire it (and we can all do with some savings, right?)
That is why you are seeing Volume 3: Chi-sau at the very affordable of price of only $34.95, and it includes every bonus, benefit and feature you have seen here. Nothing is left out and it is presented in its entirety.
Normally I would say, “You could spend hundreds of dollars – as well as countless hours – on other products and still NOT find the level of training available that Volume 3: Chi-sau provides.”
But I cannot really say that, because quite frankly, it just does not exist anywhere else, no matter how hard you look!
If you are tired of wasting your valuable time, effort, and money searching the Internet and still only finding bits and pieces of useful information, then you owe it to yourself to work with a REAL training program. You deserve nothing less than the absolute best, and that is Volume 3: Chi-sau.
To your training success,
