"Now we're going to go through some chum kiu sticky hand drills, we're going to start off with the jum sau drill. Face your partner in the yee gee stance. Start out in wu sau here. I circle my hand around pak sau. I go to a punch and they go into jum sau punch. I repeat the same move coming into jum sau punch. There's no shifting in this, you're just in the yee gee stance. Okay. Again, let's start it again. Start out in wu sau, they circle around, pak sau, punch. They go into jum sau punch, you repeat the motion into jum sau punch. What's very important is, as you jum sau here, make sure you don't circle all the way down. When the person's punching and you jum sau, make sure the hand only goes to the elbow, so you don't waste a lot of room. As I jum sau here, the hand only is going down by the elbow. Don't bring it, again, all the way down here, 'cause now you open yourself up, you waste all this room, you could be attacking and the person can come in and attack you here. So when I jum punch, I keep this close so I can continue to attack in a small area, so I don't leave an opening for someone to attack me. Circle around, pak, jum sau punch. Basic jum sau drill."
