Basic Hand Immobilization Attacks

Practicing Chi-Sao

Pak Sao (Slapping Hand)

The pak sao is a palm slap to trap the arm. It can be done with the rear or lead hand. The important point is to control the opponent's arm by pushing into the centerline not by pulling down the hand, which can be countered easily.

Lop Sao (Grabbing Hand)

Lop sao can be defined as a grabbing and pulling motion against the arm.

Jao Sao (Running Hand)

Jao Sao can be defined as a disengagement from the opponent's arm while moving from one line to another. Jao sao can be done from the outside line to the inside line, inside to outside, low to high, high to low.

Jut Sao (Short Snapping Hand/Jerking Hand)

Jut Sao can be defined as a short sudden jerking motion against one or both of the opponent's arms. It can be used to (a) open a line; (b) distract; (c) draw a defensive reaction. It should be crisp and jolt the opponent.

Huen Sao (Circling Hand)

Huen Sao can be defined as a small disengagement either from the outside to the inside line or from the inside to the outside line of the opponent. This motion differs from jao sao in that huen sao maintains contact with the opponent's arm.
