Big classes for both kung fu and kickboxing on Monday, and a first for me, being asked to teach chi sao (sticky hands) for the first time. Admittedly it was just the start of single chi sao, not double, but they seemed to get the hang pretty well, understanding that it's really all about sensitivity training and learning to feel and anticipate what your opponent is going to do. When I'm feeling confident I like to do sticky hands with my eyes closed, it allows me to focus better, but I didn't think I'd try that out on them on their first try.
