what a tool, this guy is doing nothing good for wing chun. its all good wanting to show people the style but he should at least be half decent with it before attempting shit like this. to be honest theres more wing chun in my nans every day movements than there are in this guys fighting style lol
This guy made me laugh so hard haha. Moan, aah moan I've not trained in Muai thai before...well why are you applying for MMA fighting and trying to show off skill in something you can't do...."many life times" dude that's verging on delusional.
Wing chun is ideally for the streets, not in a combative sport context. I admire the way MMA fighters train, that's coming from a wing chun practitioner. The main thing to remember is that comparing wing chun and "MMA" in a ring context is unfair due to the fact wing chun prepares you for the streets. Sure no martial arts system is complete. We all do marital arts for different reasons, but if you just do one. true MMA in street self defense is what I train for.
love wing chun hate shawn, if you dont want to mix styles dont compete in MIXED martial arts. Cause guess what they are going to want to see more than one style.
Wing chun doesnt work in UFC because there are rules...Theres no rules on the street...LOL But wing chun man cant even do a round kick he fell.In wing chun balance and form is everything.
No wing chun douse not work in ufc because it douse not work very well as a combat system. In the original ufc the only rules was no biting and no eye gouging and no wing chun men had success. No chunners ever won the gracie challenge ever which had no rules no rounds match's.
- cont. Something I wouldn't have been able to do if those 6 guys had knocked me out. I wish I could say "I beat them all up", but I didn't. I didn't even get a punch in, but using Wing Chun I managed to block a good 85% of the punches being thrown, by 6 guys. They got bored eventually and left me to phone an ambulance for my friend, who had stopped breathing by this point.
So Wing Chun works, and I'm living breathing proof. But does it work in the UFC? No.
Furthermore, people shouldn't judge Wing Chun by how well it does in the UFC. It doesn't work in the Octagon. Does that mean it doesn't work on the street against thugs who don;t know how to fight? No.
Wing Chun saved my life and the life of my friend when we were jumped by 6 guys on our way home one night. he was put in hospital because he doesn't know how to fight. I do, and I managed to come away with a black eye and a broken nose. I had to give him mouth to mouth resuscitation to save him.
This guy is a disgrace, and he makes Wing Chun look bad. I do Wing chun, and would I try and get in the Octagon? Hell no. Wing Chun is for self defence, not competitive fighting.
If some drunk guy took a swing for me in the street - Wing Chun.
If I was going up against athletes who train in a variety of martial arts every day, and who make a living out of fighting people who know all sorts of different styles - MMA.
*sigh* when Bruce Lee trained, he never wanted to become a "wing chun" man. He cleared his mind and focused on learning whatever's effective and disgard anything that's not, thus even created his own martial art called Jeet Kune Do. Bruce learned boxing, wrestling, taekwondo, fencing, savate, etc. He didn't focus on being Ip Man's bitch and becoming a "wing chun man". Bruce Lee is respected for this reason and even credited by president of UFC Dana White as he calls Lee, father of MMA.
Then why is JKD 85% Wing Tsun? It's not some amalgamated ultra-martial art that "takes the best from all styles, but leaves the ineffective behind" That's what JKD is like eating a Skittle is tasting a rainbow. It's the tag-line invented to sell the product.
Under moderate analysis though, it's easy to see that Skittles don't come from Rainbows, and JDK does come from WT.
@arlynxyu Wrong. Bruce Lee encouraged his students to learn what's best for them. He's taught them what he has learned, and what they should learn based on what suits them. His purpose of his style was having no style. He went on to even modify WC concepts that he felt were flawed, such as centerline theory. He's modified it that rather than only having straight attacks, they should focus on attacking opponent's center but use whatever's possible, such as hooks, uppercuts, etc.
@arlynxyu If 85% of JKD is Wing Tsun, then why is Dan Inosanto's academy, certified JKD instructor, who was closest to Bruce Lee, teaching mostly Muay Thai and BJJ while learning BJJ from Machado family? Inosanto went further to learn other arts, such as Eskrima, Silat, Muay Thai, BJJ, wrestling, etc.
@arlynxyu If you're a fan of Bruce Lee, then you would know that's he's gotten into street fights with other kung fu masters in San Francisco. Of those, his notable fight was against Wong Jack Man. From that fight, what did he learn? He learned that WC has lot of flaws and many movements are flowery and ineffective, which encouraged and motivated him to learn whatever's effective and whatever's out there. At the end, outside of HK movies, his style was moving away from WC.
If you aren't going to consider muay thai and kickboxing approaches, then compete low level where they do kung fu purists like in the 90s. You don't belong in modern mma.
black kung fu guys are the funniest thing the styles that actualy win fights have been determined thru 1000s of hours of competition if you arent training bjj, muay thai you might as well stick to selling colored belts to kids in strip malls if you think you can handle fighting for a living just go 2 bas ruttens school and eat a couple liver shots then go back 2 sucking
Shaw Obasi is a spectacle clown... WC won't work in TODAY'S MMA. Shawn should be grateful that Epi Echolz did not let him participate in M-1... cause he would've gotten his ass whoop/hurt by true well rounded fighters.
Here you have Shawn saying and i quote: '' I've been a fighter in many lifetimes?'' huh?. The guys simply sounds like a delusional crack headed chump. Like Epi Echolz said, ''you blame yourself''.
Shawn you would get hurt with true fighters. Your drunken boxing won't work in MMA
I agree wing chun is a very effective style, but I also agree with be open minded, learn all you can in mma a single style won't get you good, you need to at least know wrestling, BJJ, boxing and Muay Thai. Wong chun is in my arsenal but I mixed with boxing, muay thai, taekwondo, savate, karate kyokushin, wrestling, Brazilian jiu jitsu and judo. But yeah on the streets I use more krav maga. Want to learn some other arts like sambo and hwarangdo
i've got to say, i do wing chun and even though i get where this dude's coming from about not being a muay tai fighter and stuff, he has really embarrased wing chun as a martial art. this is not the kind of person we want being in the public eye as a wing chun practitioner.
A lot of you people don't seem to understand something. Wing Chun isn't enough to compete in MMA events, which is why you don't see Aikido, Wing Chun, Ninjitsu, TaeKwondo, etc. You'll at best see bits and pieces of them, but all contenders have to learn all they can. If Obasi did some Jeet Kun Do he'd have a better chance and he'd get to keep his Wing Chun
Okay wow Shawn is disciplined. But still a true Wing Tsun artist would completely destroy any mma fight as long as he's strong in his body, mind, & soul.
all these mma guys talking that wing chun is shit. and now there is a wing chun guy willing to fight, and he gets rejected on high kicks. i understand, but wing chun usually doesn't do high kicks. anyway, this is one wing chun challenge that the ufc didn't take. so no one ever say that wing chun doesn't accept challenges. shawn obasi being rejected for the ufc takes down all your criticism once and for all. they say he'll be beaten. let them show it by letting him fight. SHAWN OBASI WE LOVE YOU!
Let's be honest. The tried to make a black guy look bad with the way they edited the video. Now, he has a cult following - now all these white liberals are running around saying "He is a bad look for martial arts". Now which one is it - is he a bad look or does he need improvement?
-I don't agree with what he did in response to being essentially told no, but you have to remember that these guys are trying to have a particular look to the fighting they advertise, and he simply did not fulfill that specific requirement. He might be a great fighter, but not the kind they were looking for. Wing chun is misunderstood a lot;He could have prepared a little better too and researched other arts before getting in there.
-I understand that he's a wing chun specialist, but, if he's competing in MMA shouldn't he be slightly versed in all the arts even though his forte is the wing chun. I mean, c'mon man! It was just a high round kick and he couldn't even pull it off.
Maybe it's because I didn't grow up right but I've never been able to grasp the concept of sport. If something is designed for battle for some sort or another, why would one want to incorporate/modify it for a game? Wing Chun was not designed for the ring. To "prove" that it's effective does not require it to be used in the ring. It needs to be used in the street. Only there will it/has it proved its effectiveness. Same goes for Taekwondo and many other martial art styles.
wing chun man is acting like a whiny baby nobody will respect you man if thats your attitude its Mixed Martial Arts not just wing chun they saved your life by not letting you go futher into a real mma cage fight
Personally, I thought he showed a lot of heart here. I mean what would others do? Back off after you've come that far? This is only a tryout, for fucks sake! Like he says, he's never done the Muay Thai kick before. He may have to LEARN it eventually, but getting pushed back because he didn't meet some standardized requirements? Hell if you're a fighter, would you with your head hung low just quietly leave if you're that close to your goal?
@FoieGras I really agree on what you are saying but there still is no excuse for this asshole to act like that. And also Its his fault for not learning anything that must be required in MMA it like me trying to join the baseball team and only knowing how to pitch!
@XxMerc050xX how is it for the movies...it was proven deadly so i dont think its for ballet besides it not flashy like other martial arts and the creator made it simple and unflashy....get your facts straight before you open your mouth your obviously new to the martial arts world
The black guy has a bad attitude and obviously a bad teacher he also must be off his meds. or something a this will only hurt the traditionalists vs. the MMA guys.
This guy made Wing Chun look BAD! First off, they were looking for a MMA fighter, NOT a Wing Chun fighter. This guy should have known that before he even stepped in the ring. Muay thai kicka are part of MMA, Then, he gets all mad and emotional and makes Wing Chun look even worse. I was actually hoping one of the M1 guys would of slapped the $hit out of him.
Shawn Obassi trying to prove his Wing Chun and then he lands on his ass while trying to do a high Thai kick ???? His thai kicks did not even seem to have the correct body mechanics, e.g. loading the hip etc. Wing Chun has failed in MMA/UFC wayyy back in the 90s. Trying to keep centreline while someone rushes in for a takedown is bull. Just wont happen, and that cult of Sticky Hand practitioners obviously refuses to accept that.
wo wo wo is this guy telling obasi that u cant use 1 style in mma? really? so gracies could just use bjj & crocop can use TKD & iceman muay thai? & Fedor Sambo? Fk this guys senile these guys won world titles w/1 style wtf has this guy done stick to training dude
If only this idiot actually did Wing Chun, people that claim it's a "Wing Chun Fail" would maybe have a point. This fool is no more Wing Chun than he is a Muay Thai, BJJ or Boxer. Seriously, this is just dumb. That guy does need to grow up though, he's a damn fool.
WOW!!! its always the same bullsHIT whenever a real marital arts fighter tries to compete in this world of MMA which means (MIX MARTIAL ARTS) they always want to change your style to theres...They should change it to (MORDERN MIX ARTS) Damn I miss the first UFC FIGHTS WERE WE SAW KARATE, KENPO,SUMO JUST TO NAME A FEW!!! THATS THE REASON WE FELL IN LOVE WITH MMA IN THE FIRST PLACE,CAUSE IT REMINDED US OF BLOODSPORT!!!
for use a effective wing chun you must undestand it.and use cage and dueling offensive combat style if the situation requers. this is mentalitu¡y of wing chun. Everything is effective, used in the correct situation. Shawn obasi is a clown, stupid nigger...is because the asian and more precisely the monks didnt like to shown their art to the exterior..it because only the elite could access to the monks´ secrets. The martial arts have been distorsioned and mostly teached like brutal force
I agree with IBurton. I'd be interested to see what a mma fighter could do when incorporating wing chun. I'm greatfull that my sifu has not only achieved respectable discipline with wing chun, but explores all martial arts. I went my first day and made me learn the old 1 2 first lol but wing chun gave me the speed and power behind it through bone structure. Plus, there's alot of mt that's achievable from a wing chun point of view. But I couldn't dream of getting in a cage! If any one got me to
shawn obasi gives a bad name to wingchun. is not a fail of the system, is a fail from the fighter. I think he dont understand really wingchun, i think he has to sacrfice more. You can see it in his training videos with other sifus, he is not in peace. I think he has to perfectionate his distances and learn how to use wingchun in mma. In wingchun self defense for street you go kill directly, in 2 seconds, in mma is a dueling so u cant use a pure winchun.
Shawn Obasi should study kickboxing and grappling to supplement his Wing Chun. I'm a Kung Fu practitioner and I've also added Kickboxing and traditional Jujitsu for self-defense purposes. He can still be a master of Wing Chun with MMA concepts combined with it.
You have to remember...wing chun is used defense mostly...sure there are manny forms but you need to know when that form will be used more efficiantly. Yes it was invented by a girl...but I bet you the topest fighter couldn't beat her. I mean now yes cus she's dead but you understand. Its a great style to fight...but martial arts takes years
I think he does himself no favours with how he handled it, but I also think the Echolz is funny with his "think outside of your box" routine when he is arguably promoting a generic MMA style of BJJ and MT. maybe he is a bit scared that his MMA style might lose out to a traditionalist. easiest thing would have been to have a bout there and then and see how Obasi did.
Honestly... I'm pretty impressed how he is passionate in Wing Chun, I practice the style for 2 years and I believe it is really useful in a fight. On the other hand, I think he should open up his mind better, because many sifu in China believes if you claim yourself as one particular style fighter, you lost already man. That's why Bruce Lee trains in many style.
so ANYONE... saying Wing Chun wouldn't be effective in a cage is just stating an opinion that is clearly wrong. If your saying this you're just another person who hasn't witnessed someone correctly using this martial art. in fact, i myself have yet to see someone effectively use this teaching in the cage.. because nobody has been able to use it well enough. that doesn't mean it's useless.. that just means people aren't talented enough to use it effectively.
@DeadFoxMS89 In North America, it's true. Every guy that's tried to do Wing Chun in the cage has failed miserably. But that's because of impatience and lousy teachers more than anything else. People want to start fighting right away even though their skills are still poor. However in southeast Asia, Wing Chun has been used in free fighting (MMA) successfully. More often than not, it's combined with Muay Thai for close range stuff. It definitely works. But many students do not.
@hulkout666 that and it's unneccisary to use it's forms to be so practical, that someone knows exactly what your going to be doing. people spend too much time looking directly at an object and not whats surrounding it. if you see a juicy red apple in the desert... something is out of place. lol. but to a starving and dehydrated person, they just see the resource of their survival.
@hulkout666 Wow, really? In a totally non-confrontational way, I would LOVE to see a video of that! I'm not disrespecting you or anything; If you know where to see a genuinely successful WC fighter that would just make my day
people also tend to forget... wing chun is a defensive practise. it isn't intended to be used in a cage, straight forward to assault anyone. it was used to defend from it. shawn obasi is an offensive fighter... already displaying his use of the style incorrectly. he doesn't show countering, deflecting, or just technique that is supposed to be effective when using wing chun. KARATE.. is the exact same... it's defensive, and hense.. lyoto machida still became a champion with it.
This is BS. People train for a few years in wc and have a small competency & expect to be proficient enough 2 fight with it. Shawn come back when youve trained Wing Chun muscle memory 2 the bone EVERY day for 20 years from the basic abc's of form, technique, sensitivity chisau drills, working your way up2 hard sparring. Not the other way round. The only way wc will work is if its like breathing, youve f**d it if youve smashed the weights, take a few lessons and then call yourself a wc fighter.
Even though the guy embarrassed himself they should have gave him a chance to prove himself. Maybe his style can be useful.I think it was a bit unfair.
he does know that you can train more than one style right? lyoto machida is labeled as a karate fighter, but he still trains muay thai. shawn obasi needs to wisen up if he wants to keep your mma carreer
seems like everybodys opinion of it being uneffective in the cage/ring really just boils down to it teaches very little if not anything for the "ground game".
and that's not even what brings the majority of fans to the sport anyway.even if the statement is true.
@fern072 I am a wing chun practitioner and with the wing chun I practice we incorporate grappling, wing chun has great kicks and the system contains all ways of punching that boxing does and more.
Shawn Obasi: If you truly are the Wing Chun practitioner you claim to be, I can only imagine the level of shame that your Sifu would experience if he were to see this video. You should be ashamed of yourself.
The father of MMA was Bruce Lee he also learned wing chun. He also broke away from traditional kung fu and incorporate western martial arts. Creating Jeet kwon do the way intercepting fist. Wing chun for self defense (hit and run).
Wing chun is good for trapping range. Lacks kicking, punching (boxing) and grappling. Don't get me wrong i like wing chun. MMA fighters will nock you out cold son.
Shawn Obasi did not represent himself well in this video by throwing a tantrum because M-1 does not want him to fight for them. If an organization is not interested in your skills as a fighter or professional then you simply move on. Shouting like a five year old does not change a thing.
@Plato86 He blamed his last loss on the reff, saying that he was racist against black people because the reff didnt call the punch to the back of the head. And he told me that white people dont experience racism. I told him shit, where I live its like 70% black neighborhood. Racism is not cool no matter what direction. And for him to say that.........he is a drama queen. I used to respect him alot too. I really want to see a wing chun man do good in MMA and be a good role model

the wing chug style is horrible for fighting any professional striker, that's why professional fighters don't use it, actually some of my muay thai instructors know and still train wing chun, savate etc.. but they always use muay thai/ kickboxing for fighting
@marsy91 Wing Chung is horrible for fighting strikers? Have you never even glimpsed at Wing Chung? Direct, quick, powerful strikes to joints and weak points of the body is Wing Chun. The reason professionals don't use it is because it is hard to master and it does not train much ground fighting.
@puffie300 at my mma gym my national champion muay thai coach knows wing chung and so do most of the striking coaches, I don't know how good they are at wing chung but I do see them practice, and those pressure points are open to anybody, they don't disappear cause you're throwing an elbow
I started in kung fu myself; wing chung is what it is, and should be devastating on the street but not in the ring or the cage
@marsy91 isn't wing chun a kung fu? kung fu is the many styles taught in china, and not just 1 thing. wing chun is a defensive style.. so depending on how a fighter plays his game, in retrospect it just depends on the person using it really. it's not practical unless the person utilizing the martial art isn't in some degree a master at it in every form of what it is. bruce lee found it pratical in modern street scenario's and in his most famous fight he still devistated in the ring with it.
@DeadFoxMS89 As its a scientific method, if you haven't trained the angles of deflection TO THE BONE over many years, it wont work for you. It's easier to train to overpower someone training power, strengths than years and years to master the technique/sensitivity/ all the angles of deflection to use wc competently. so if practical is a measured by time taken to learn the system to be competent than it would be easier to do something else.
@schan21 If I'm taking what your sayin seriously, in other words it's a paper/rock/scissors outcome? if someone focuses straight forward on offense, someone focusing on straight forward defence should be able to shut him down. then someone countering defence should be able to shut him down. and the counterer being no match for a straight forward brute force.
technique is what makes a great fighter. to me that just means if you haven't truely mastered what your doing you shouldnt be in a cage.
The promoter's grading people by Muay Thai skills which is funny because
Jake Shields ain't famous for his stand-up
Ryan Bader isn't famous for his stand-up (at TUF)
Paul Daley ain't famous for his wrestling.
The thing is, the Wing Chun guy could be Ip Man's reincarnation but the fact of the matter is that M-1's retarded and I'm glad ZUFFA dumped them like the AIDs-ridden whore M-1 is.
yea he is not mature thats his problem and his wing chun style is to tence and it is offencive he needs to calm down practice more and be on the defencive and counter attacks
kung fu is about how you do things and how your treat people, the skill comes with that, 20% of martial arts is mentality.... this man does not know kung fu, he is weaker than me simply by mentality, and i am 15 years old, on the street i would put his head in the dirt before he could say wing chun man
wtf is wrong with him? man hes not gaining any respect like that, a martial artist knows discipline and self control, there was no control in his behaviour.
@illuminatijews Yeah. You'd think that after "many lifetimes" he'd at the very least be aware of his emotional state of being. It's like he's been in junior high for many lifetimes.
Pathetic! You have to learn, you have to expand your Martial Arts Knowledge. It's fine to start in a traditional style and go on to use some of it in MMA but more importantly is that you learn what works. And that means you need to expand!
The guy nailed when he said mma fighters have to be free and open minded. The WC guy is just closed minded and refuses to accept his MA isn't very practical in a cage match. In reality a good MT fighter would most likely destroy this fool whether it was on the streets or in a cage, get over it Shawn your martial art isn't the greatest style ever created boo hoo.
This man does not represent WC. He represents and humiliates his Sifu (Grados) and his school. The problem with some people (like this guy) is that they are hard headed and biased towards one system. They grow at a very slow rate because of this. Learn to embrace other systems and use them to make yourself a better martial artist. idiot.
Wing Chun was never created for sport tournaments or matches like this. The reason? Too many rules. We fight dirty, dangerous and violent, or we don't fight at all. The only time you're ever going to have to fight like that is if you're on the street and it's you, or the other guy. That's the reason WC is barely ever seen in tournaments. We'd get disqualified way too quickly.
Not necessarily. Pit a Karate fighter against a Wing Chun fighter on the street and you'll see a significant difference in ability. Sure, he can defend himself, but a better, more versatile martial art will take advantage of Karate's openness and flaws and go straight for the takedown.
A tournament is a tournament. A street fight is a street fight. They're as different as elephants to mice.
@MaestroDraven yea but, an MMA fight is the closest thing we have to a street fight & more importantly demonstrates which techniques of what arts are more realistic in inflicting damage. people tend to miss this point. they look at it as a mma VS ? martial art thing instead of an MMA fight showcasing fighters from all styles showing witch style is better. The only dif. today is that we now know which techniques are more realistickly afective and those the ones you normally see in a fight.
Traditional Wing Tsun would work in a cage,not this modern Wing Chun that its no way near the original,but and even if traditional Wing chun is used,it needs a master to use it and not wanabe idiots.
what a tool, this guy is doing nothing good for wing chun. its all good wanting to show people the style but he should at least be half decent with it before attempting shit like this. to be honest theres more wing chun in my nans every day movements than there are in this guys fighting style lol

Here you have Shawn saying and i quote: '' I've been a fighter in many lifetimes?'' huh?. The guys simply sounds like a delusional crack headed chump. Like Epi Echolz said, ''you blame yourself''.

I agree wing chun is a very effective style, but I also agree with be open minded, learn all you can in mma a single style won't get you good, you need to at least know wrestling, BJJ, boxing and Muay Thai. Wong chun is in my arsenal but I mixed with boxing, muay thai, taekwondo, savate, karate kyokushin, wrestling, Brazilian jiu jitsu and judo. But yeah on the streets I use more krav maga. Want to learn some other arts like sambo and hwarangdo

A lot of you people don't seem to understand something. Wing Chun isn't enough to compete in MMA events, which is why you don't see Aikido, Wing Chun, Ninjitsu, TaeKwondo, etc. You'll at best see bits and pieces of them, but all contenders have to learn all they can. If Obasi did some Jeet Kun Do he'd have a better chance and he'd get to keep his Wing Chun

He might be a great fighter, but not the kind they were looking for. Wing chun is misunderstood a lot;He could have prepared a little better too and researched other arts before getting in there.

Maybe it's because I didn't grow up right but I've never been able to grasp the concept of sport. If something is designed for battle for some sort or another, why would one want to incorporate/modify it for a game? Wing Chun was not designed for the ring. To "prove" that it's effective does not require it to be used in the ring. It needs to be used in the street. Only there will it/has it proved its effectiveness. Same goes for Taekwondo and many other martial art styles.

Trying to keep centreline while someone rushes in for a takedown is bull. Just wont happen, and that cult of Sticky Hand practitioners obviously refuses to accept that.

I agree with IBurton. I'd be interested to see what a mma fighter could do when incorporating wing chun. I'm greatfull that my sifu has not only achieved respectable discipline with wing chun, but explores all martial arts. I went my first day and made me learn the old 1 2 first lol but wing chun gave me the speed and power behind it through bone structure. Plus, there's alot of mt that's achievable from a wing chun point of view. But I couldn't dream of getting in a cage! If any one got me to
lots0lard4u 5 months ago
shawn obasi gives a bad name to wingchun. is not a fail of the system, is a fail from the fighter. I think he dont understand really wingchun, i think he has to sacrfice more. You can see it in his training videos with other sifus, he is not in peace. I think he has to perfectionate his distances and learn how to use wingchun in mma. In wingchun self defense for street you go kill directly, in 2 seconds, in mma is a dueling so u cant use a pure winchun.
elcuervopardo666 5 months ago
Shawn Obasi should study kickboxing and grappling to supplement his Wing Chun. I'm a Kung Fu practitioner and I've also added Kickboxing and traditional Jujitsu for self-defense purposes. He can still be a master of Wing Chun with MMA concepts combined with it.

I think he does himself no favours with how he handled it, but I also think the Echolz is funny with his "think outside of your box" routine when he is arguably promoting a generic MMA style of BJJ and MT. maybe he is a bit scared that his MMA style might lose out to a traditionalist. easiest thing would have been to have a bout there and then and see how Obasi did.

That's why Bruce Lee trains in many style.

so ANYONE... saying Wing Chun wouldn't be effective in a cage is just stating an opinion that is clearly wrong. If your saying this you're just another person who hasn't witnessed someone correctly using this martial art. in fact, i myself have yet to see someone effectively use this teaching in the cage.. because nobody has been able to use it well enough. that doesn't mean it's useless.. that just means people aren't talented enough to use it effectively.
DeadFoxMS89 6 months ago
@DeadFoxMS89 In North America, it's true. Every guy that's tried to do Wing Chun in the cage has failed miserably. But that's because of impatience and lousy teachers more than anything else. People want to start fighting right away even though their skills are still poor. However in southeast Asia, Wing Chun has been used in free fighting (MMA) successfully. More often than not, it's combined with Muay Thai for close range stuff. It definitely works. But many students do not.

people also tend to forget... wing chun is a defensive practise. it isn't intended to be used in a cage, straight forward to assault anyone. it was used to defend from it. shawn obasi is an offensive fighter... already displaying his use of the style incorrectly. he doesn't show countering, deflecting, or just technique that is supposed to be effective when using wing chun. KARATE.. is the exact same... it's defensive, and hense.. lyoto machida still became a champion with it.

Not the other way round. The only way wc will work is if its like breathing, youve f**d it if youve smashed the weights, take a few lessons and then call yourself a wc fighter.

I started in kung fu myself; wing chung is what it is, and should be devastating on the street but not in the ring or the cage
marsy91 6 months ago
@marsy91 isn't wing chun a kung fu? kung fu is the many styles taught in china, and not just 1 thing. wing chun is a defensive style.. so depending on how a fighter plays his game, in retrospect it just depends on the person using it really. it's not practical unless the person utilizing the martial art isn't in some degree a master at it in every form of what it is. bruce lee found it pratical in modern street scenario's and in his most famous fight he still devistated in the ring with it.
DeadFoxMS89 6 months ago
@DeadFoxMS89 As its a scientific method, if you haven't trained the angles of deflection TO THE BONE over many years, it wont work for you. It's easier to train to overpower someone training power, strengths than years and years to master the technique/sensitivity/ all the angles of deflection to use wc competently. so if practical is a measured by time taken to learn the system to be competent than it would be easier to do something else.

@schan21 If I'm taking what your sayin seriously, in other words it's a paper/rock/scissors outcome? if someone focuses straight forward on offense, someone focusing on straight forward defence should be able to shut him down. then someone countering defence should be able to shut him down. and the counterer being no match for a straight forward brute force.
technique is what makes a great fighter. to me that just means if you haven't truely mastered what your doing you shouldnt be in a cage.

Wing Chun was never created for sport tournaments or matches like this. The reason? Too many rules. We fight dirty, dangerous and violent, or we don't fight at all. The only time you're ever going to have to fight like that is if you're on the street and it's you, or the other guy. That's the reason WC is barely ever seen in tournaments. We'd get disqualified way too quickly.

Not necessarily. Pit a Karate fighter against a Wing Chun fighter on the street and you'll see a significant difference in ability. Sure, he can defend himself, but a better, more versatile martial art will take advantage of Karate's openness and flaws and go straight for the takedown.
A tournament is a tournament. A street fight is a street fight. They're as different as elephants to mice.

@MaestroDraven yea but, an MMA fight is the closest thing we have to a street fight & more importantly demonstrates which techniques of what arts are more realistic in inflicting damage. people tend to miss this point. they look at it as a mma VS ? martial art thing instead of an MMA fight showcasing fighters from all styles showing witch style is better. The only dif. today is that we now know which techniques are more realistickly afective and those the ones you normally see in a fight.
