Great replies everyone, Thanks...I've got a better understanding now and will attempt to practice with a couple of buddies of mine. I've studied Taekwondo, kickboxing, jujitsu, eskrima, some rare esoteric arts and have taught kickboxing and Taekwondo. Although I feel well versed and happy with the practicallity of my arts, I have a great respect for Wing Chun and truly feel it is one of the more intelligent and ergonomically evolved arts out there. Hence my passion for learning chi sao.
Thanks again for the replys.

thanks i hope you do well.

If you are genuinly interested in learning sticky hands PROPERLY there is no point in doing it without learning wing chun. I just met this dude in the park yesterday and he was all exited about doing sticky hands with him, and when i said fine and we put our hands together he just did random made up blocks and hits trying to freestyle.
You need to learn how to walk before you can run, and you need to learn wing chun before sticky hands.
Otherwise you are not learning sticky hands, and you are giving wing chun a bad name.
Its not a seperate part of wing chun that you can learn on its own, it is the accumulation of all the basic wing chun principles which you need to master before you do sticky hands.

it develops contact reflexes, so that after you cross the gap with an asking hand or foot, you can determine your opponents reaction via vibration and counter before he even reacts which makes you look like a mindreader and seems super fast because of it as well.(chi gurk) sticky feet, can also be used with the legs.
