I was really wondering about the hand techniques he was using in the video. Thanks.
Looks like it was borrowed or modified from Wing Chun. Most likely the root art to this Hubud.
Is that 'sticky hands' or am I on the wrong track?
I've seen something very like the stuff in the video on a seminar I went to a while back, seems a good drill for co-ordination and speed, wouldn't mind learning it but am not good at all at copying things off videos being female lol!
Yes some people call it sticky hands.
Is it worth trying to learn at all?
Yep that is what it is called from Wing Chun. We do some of this from time to time. Good stuff and much harder than it looks.Is that 'sticky hands' or am I on the wrong track?

Absolutely! Hubud/sticky hands and their derivatives are really drills that increase speed, timing and SENSITIVITY! They are formulaic, and you can use them to blend and move into other moves. Then come back to the hubud, and let the other person go. In the end, you don't 'take turns', you use the sensitivity developed to manipulate and move into other strikes, punches, techniques, locks, throws, etc.
I highly recommend learning some basic hubud and trying to integrate it into your training.

Very well could be. It is that I am more familiar with Wing Chun and the stick hands drills from that art than I am the other. It could be that Wing Chun borrowed from else where. But good stuff none the less....but your statement was probably incorrect,
