This version of the Sup Sam Sau (13 Hands) descends from Cho Family Wing Chun Kuen ancestor Cho Hung Choi, and is supposedly based on the teachings of Cho On and cross-referanced with Cho Chuen and Saam Chan versions. They are organized as follows, with 4 cycles, 2 issues, and 7 methods:

  1. Huen (outward)
  2. Kaam (inward)
  3. Tiu (lift)
  4. Thaap (Pile)
  5. Chung (Thrust)
  6. Pao (Throw)
  7. Gaun (Split)
  8. Fu (Tiger)
  9. Hok (Crane)
  10. Po (Break)
  11. See (Tear)
  12. Chien (Thousand)
  13. Kaa (Rack)

"Huen Kaam Tiu Thaap are always needed"//

Notes: Accounts from Cho Hung Choi's lineage name Cho Shun as the generation between Yik Kam and Cho Dak Sang (and thus the founder and first Cho generation) while accounts from Lao Suen Yin? maintain Cho Dak Sang learned directly from Yik Kam (making him the founder and first Cho generation).
