@ownage4000 the quickest point from a to b is a straight line. you reach the opponent quicker and use the last 3 knuckles. its brutally effective you always get there first and there is no angle so the opponent very rarely see's the punch coming to block it.
Just goes to show, it is not worth the risk to underestimate Ip Chun's small stature. I admire his skill greatly, and also how well Chris interacted with him.
@mufcCurt I haven't logged into youtube for a while, but this reply was in my message box. IF, and its a big IF, anyone who was proficient in the application of Wing Chun entered a steel cage to fight one of the multitude of good sportsmen who make up the MMS circle, then it would be a mightily boring 'fight'. You see, if you took the time to read, or even try some wing chun, youd realise that you could drop anybody who stood before you in very few moves.
what ppl dont get is that chi sau is everything, the chinese were loath to give their secrets away, so if you cant see how its applied to real life then you have failed their test.Same with Tai Chi Wing Chun isnt about title belts or competition, its about saving your life and finishing the opponent.
I just started learning Wing Chun and some of the black sashes at the school I go to are hard core- one of the few schools where you do see guys who could really do some damage to someone else. It's an efficient style, almost deceptive in its simplicity but unlike so many other styles that have prescribed moves to counter specific attacks, Wing Chun gives you the vocabulary to adapt to any attack rather than remember a certain move or set of moves. this is what makes it effective.
It's inconceivable to some people that there are those who do not practice martial arts in a competitive sense. I train wing tsun and escrima. I have a background in boxing and grecco-roman wrestling. I know a BJJ student will likely overpower me if I try to fight him on his terms, but I'm not looking to fight BJJ guys in the first place. I was jumped by four kids when I was 12 and its not an experience I want to have again. I do it for confidence and physical discipline, and it works for me :)
MMA fanboys are hilarious and stupidly ignorant. Stop giving an 80 year old grandmaster shit for keeping his art alive you fucking morons. he's done more in his life then you idiots will ever do
I can see some of wing chun working, but very little because people pull their hands back when they punch. But I can see it as a smothering discipline when close. THen go into a throw or toss.
Bruce Lee added a bunch of jumps and kicks to his system of fighting? Jeet Kune Do, namely Jun Fan Gung Fu, is nothing you will see on video. Like Wing Chun, JKD was based on Economy of Motion and Directness. Nothing you will see in the movies is actual JKD because JKD was made for combat realism which means it was made (on the physical level) for street fighting in real-life, peak health and fitness, and then there's the emotional content and spirituality which transcend from training.
Just to clarify, don't get fooled by the way how cool sticky hands look. I noticed a lot Wing Chun people get screwed up when they are in a match or real fight because they assume or foolishly think that those punches will stay in front of you for 1 sec or 2 to let you do you trapping or lap sao or whatever. In real life, it doesn't work like that. Punches come in real fast. Your sticky hand or your technique might only work the way you think if you face someoe who knows no martial art.
@therrakim anyone in wing chun or any other martial/fighting art who thinks that punches will stay in front of them should not be doing it :/ sticky hands works well as a training exercise, in fact it works incredibly well but it is not for combat, it can be utilised in combat but not purely, notice how they do not kick at all while using sticky hands, in combat WC uses the legs as much as the arms :)
@therrakim you're wrong, in wing chun does not matter what the aggressor does. only follow the principles. sao lap arises from the movement of the aggressor, they are not for own volition
I dont get why everyone is saying "If he faced *insert fighter* he would lose" hes an old man in his 80's, i wouldnt be suprised if he lost. I think the main point about this is that even though hes in his 80s he is still able to perform the techniques with a high level of skill.
in my opinion...he is an old man making money off of Bruce Lee and Ip man reputation.
He has never been a fighter....Ip Man didnt want his sons to learn kung fu,he didnt spend his lifetime training....maybe a year or two once he had the idea of marketing his father's system.
@MrHopgar he was training and teaching in china before you saw the movies where did u get the idea it was only a few years?, he doesnt reference bruce lee at all and doesnt advertise, people seek him out by the hundreds on their own, not a fighter in what sense? never won a title match in a ring?
wrong again ! wing chun was created for fighting , wing chun is basically a modification of the snake and crane styles of shaolin,both are considered soft styles within the shaolin systems, both are deadly and fact is that the style wing chun is a direct descendent of the style Hung Kuen which uses 5 animals and 5 elements. also Ip cun was given the title of grand master simply coz his father ip man, ip cun is medioca in the arts of kung fu, kung fu is based on fighting , not how many students !
@0B1ken0bi where was that source of information that said it came specifically from the snake and crane styles? Its a well known fact it descended from shaolin i agree but ive never heard specifically from the snake and crane sets
Wing Chun was not invented by a woman. Wing Chun was invented by Shaolin Monks, most of which were men. In fact, the 'woman' that people keep mentioning may well have been the only woman in the relevant Shaolin temple when it was sacked. She probably escaped because the men forced her to leave so that they could stay and do the fighting just so she and a few others could leave. We don't even know if what we 'think' is Wing Chun is truly all it was supposed to be originally. Maybe 50% at best!!
@olympicsnow not that it matters. if it works for you it works for you. you dont have to justify it to anyone. history and martial arts is always vague or misleading because alot of fighters have big ego's so my school was stared by this awesome guy etc etc theres a lot of trash talk and their always has been its all pretty irrelivant, if your keeping it real and your defending yourself and your loved ones then thats all that matters, peace.
he is just the son of ip-man nothing more. it´s the same with many other sons of grandmasters.
i consider Chris Chan to be a true wing chun legend. from his way i have got to know the whole wing chun system in just 1 year and even could use it very well. i also developed tons of strentgh by using his way of the structure not he WT. in WT you alos pay yourself for poor and learn nothing
@schulleee stop generalising, if you have found a teacher you like good stick with him what difference does it make trash talking a style. its about people not styles.
Having spent a lot of time for video of Ip chun, he is only a man with his famous father'name and , in fact, does not know how to perform " principle of wing chun". Furthermore, he only can practise his wing chun form to be similar as wing chun execrise. If you go through another style of wing chun in China, I guess that they are much better than his style . At least , they know how to use power from their waist and horse strand is more stable than him.
@toikooo you are not stating any fact that makes him bad. you only say he got his name by his father. how do you know his style is not good? have you practised with him? power from waist? dude you kiding me right?
@mufcCurt if ip man fight with those guys ..ip man is going to win.. because ip man was so great than bruce lee .. although .i think bruce lee cant defeat ip man
Fuckin a, MMA people need to fucking chill out and get over themselves. Holy shit guys, maybe there's more to the world of martial arts than winning the ufc championship? Holy shit guys, maybe there's mountains of martial arts techniques out there that are illegal in MMA, that work? I'm not saying MMA is shit, but it is NOT the be all, end all stage for martial arts.
@SirKickz Thank you for saying it. People who understand martial arts enough would know not to criticize other martial arts and would be humble enough to learn from others rather than criticize and think that their own art is better than others. Each martial arts have different strengths and weaknesses - all are good in their own respect.
@SirKickz lol yeah mma is like just cage fighting not real fighting wtf is this going in there and knock someones ass out and earn the championship and money in martial arts its the real deal street fighting but not dirty fighting well its an option almost but people out there train harder than mma martial arts is like a lifetime championship not like UFC just going in there and fight for who? dana white lol
Um...No. Look, mma artists can get full of themselves, but, as a fighting sport, it is very legit, and don't sit there on a high horse and say they don't train hard, because they train like monsters. And you know, sure, mma folk can be full of themselves, but that doesn't give you the right to demean all the hard work they put into being good at what they do. So you need to fuck off, cause I'm willing to bet that you wouldn't last two days in a legitimate mma gym.
@SirKickz lol shut up im not trying to start but on mma they talk alot of shit so u need to fuck off idiot martial arts train harder than mma mma just train with equipment but they are still good at fighting though but they are really bad trash talkers and they sometimes dont show respect martial arts have alot of respect and dislipine
@EletmenticAzn mms fighters are so cocky, getting beat after bragging hurts alot more than getting beat when you are humble, quiet confidence goes a long way :) its also alot more sporting and dignified
I've got respect for anyone who puts that amount of work into their training regiment. As a fighting system though, MMA tends to be sloppy and unfocused, and leaves the practitioner open to any number of really bad vulnerabilities. It's the same idea as a Muay Thai fighter trying to kick a Wing Chun practitioner. We've got a handful of kicks that will, in one moment, deflect the MT's kick, then proceed to break his other leg. Options in a martial art equal success.
I would revise that to say that options in martial arts CAN equal success. It's a legit way to look at it, but it's not the only solution. A lot of people in the history of fighting have made the claim that they can counter a boxer's punch or a MT kick, but then their defense just gets smashed by the sheer devastation those strikes carry with them. I guess my point is that it's dangerous to assume that just because a martial art is simpler doesn't mean it's any less effective.
Very true. A guy that trains his legs more than his upper body will obviously deliver heavier kicks. It's only natural. The same deflection may, or may not work. Depends how prepared the defender is. Look at Capoeira. Extremely energetic, requires a lot of energy to maintain. You can land some powerful blows, and it's difficult to anticipate attacks because of the ginga. But since it only uses leg attacks, it's somewhat limited if you happen to break the ginga.
Another thing to remember is that, at the end of the day, your mastery of martial arts can be pretty accurately gauged by your mastery of the basics. I think, a lot of times, people get too caught up in flaunting the number of techniques they know. Professional fighters know better than anyone that fighting is, at its core, about footwork, distance, timing, conditioning. Actual technique actually falls below all those things, in terms of priority.
Totally true. Which is why I kind of shake my head at guys that make fun of the basic Wing Chun exercises. It's like they expect to be doing cartwheel kicks and taking on scores of bad guys right away, with no training. The basis and structure is all lost on them due to impatience or through a perceived wasting of time. It's not a quick road to walk.
Right? I'm more a physical kind of fighter. I believe in the philosophy that must prepare your body with conditioning before you are ready for any techniques. It's kind of like the way Samuel Jackson taught basketball in Coach Carter. He made them do nothing but run like hell during practice for the first half of the season before he even started teaching them plays.
@Genestealer1983 umm i hope your talking about Yip Man because yip Man was the 1 who taught Bruce Lee. Yip Chun is his son who continued what Yip Man started which was the wing chun atheletic association.
Ip Chun, did start learning at 9 years of age, but he did admit he couldn't remember it as training stopped, would you remember later on in age what you did when you were 9 years old?
When later in life he was reunited with Ip Man decadeds later he started training again.
Has he ever tested his teaches skills?
Because my Dad was a great painter does that make me a great painter.?

@iHuwae Leave him, he obviously has never studied Wing Chun and i'd place my money that even if somebody taught him Chi Sao it would be wasted on him. You don't need to stoop to his level.
in a way, he has a point. A boxer's punch comes really, really fast, and after it hits (or misses), boxers are trained to retract their arm to a chambered position just as fast. So trapping that arm with a sticky block is gonna be very difficult. Not impossible, but difficult. The key to beating boxers is usually to forget trying to outpunch them, and focus on attacking their lower body. They aren't trained to defend their legs, so all you got to do is drop an elbow on their knee.
If you step in fast and deep, bend your knees, and crouch forward, the knee is easily reachable with an elbow strike. If you wanna dispute that, that's fine, but that's not the point. The point is that boxers aren't trained to defend their lower body. So that's where you attack. Stop wasting my time with nitpicky details. What specific technique you use is largely irrelevant.
@SirKickz That is a big principle in wing chun: do not play your ennemi's game. So ouf course, as a wing chun fighter, you will nerver try to box a boxer.
@benitofinito How do you know? You ever trained Chi Sao? Quit writing crap, because you learn Chi Sao at a later stage. First you learn the basics for a long time. Bla bla bla go worship your stupid unrealistic what-if-a-blablabla-fight against a Wing Chun practisioner....
I think saying "real kung fu looks bad" is a matter of opinion. Take iaido for example. Some people may think its the most boring martial art ever, but I think its quite beautiful. I think wing chun looks rather neat as well, even if some people may think it looks horrible and un-entertaining. See things for what they are rather than what they could be.
@thetextphantom215 true, but it was built around Wing Chun. Ive read every single one of his books. Bruce Lee didnt invent a style. He didnt beleive in styles. He believed in a mind-set and concepts. And wing chun was one of those mind sets
i found this movie pretty damn funny. great movie for kids if you want to see it you can watch it online in good quality at themovieinsider info/kickass
this was a funny movie for kids to watch. i just finished watching it online at themovieinsider info/kickass its good quality to if any one wants to see it
this was a funny movie for kids to watch. i just finished watching it online at themovieinsider info/kickass its good quality to if any one wants to see it
As the story goes Yip Man was seperated from his wife so the two sons did not start learning Wing Chun until in his 40's.If you read back and ask why they were never mention with the others Bruce Lee, William Cheung Wong Sheun Lueng, its because they were not around for the challenge fights back then.
Its amazing that you can live off your fathers name, without ever having a challenge fight yourself.
Please don't buy into this. This gentleman is somewhat misinformed about what Bruce Lee actually did.
As for Ip Chun. Well God bless him. He's eighty something years old and he can do what he can do....... but as far as I know, I've never heard of any stories from any of the old grandmasters, Wong Shun Leung, Moy Yat, William Chueng or Bruce Lee for that matter accusing him of training alongside them at the old school in Hong Kong.....if I'm wrong please enlighten me.
He is the Grandmaster, no one has challenged him openly, he has taught some of the greatest martial artists ever known, namedly Bruce Lee, but also Dave McQuillan, Samuel Kwok, and Billy Davidson.
Fighting isn't what Wing Chun was created for, it was there to teach people to defend themselves and counter using the attackers force.
Most Wing Chun masters avoid any type of contest, unless it's a direct challenge,
There's at least 2 different ways to throw that vertical straight punch... I've seen the totally vertical hand, and I've seen a hand bent 45 degrees. One seems to use the index finger's knuckle and middle finger's knuckle, while the other uses the ring finger's knuckle.
My question is, why are there even two different punching styles and what lineages do each follow?
youre mistaken my friend. jeet kune do was the style bruce developed through his wing chun techniques. jeet kune do can be thought of as highly modified wing chun
@student1202705 Bruce Bee had learned many, many styles, his own "style" was called i believe if translated "way of the intercepting fist" (jeet kune do). He would hate it to be called a style though, only a description of what he had learned. he was an amazing person, artist and philosopher.
IM 5-6 /180 PDS/ WORK at clubs such as Speed NYC,TUNNEL AND OLD LIMELIGHT . A CO WORKER TOUGHT ME WING CHUN . 1 NIGHT 3 GUYS PICK A FIGHT ,1 PULLS A KNIFE AND LESS THEN 1 MIN I IMOBILIZED ALL 3 WING CHUN WORKS CUZ IM ALIVE 2 DAY .THX NG MUI
Ok this has nothing to do with anything really but... he said first yip "shun" then pronounced wing "chun".... its spelled the same god damn way.... what the hell is wrong with this guy... he reads it once and says it one way then reads it twice and says it another. Way to go narrator...
while these gross movements will be said to be ineffective against other styles, those very few people who study further into it and adapt it to real sparring will MAYBE figure out what it is all about. Honestly, I have not seen anyone in any youtube video who really has anything. I have met someone that has something though. You all must give up your superfluous thinking. Live joyfully.
The woman who taught Ving Tsun who we keep hearing about and who is said to have developed Ving Tsun was simply a monk at the Shaolin temple during the time that Ving Tsun was developed as an extremely efficient,fast physical moving, easy to learn and work with Martial Art intended to be used to produce fighting masters quickly in the Shaolin temples because the traditional styles took around 16 years to learn and they were running out of monks.That woman simply survived the temple's destruction
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Here this guy has the ear of one of the masters and he doesn't even know why Ving Tsun was developed in the first place.
It has not a single thing to do with helping 'little people' fight big people, or else you would certainly see a lot of midgets in these schools getting their little selves kicked and punched clear across the room. It was also not developed by a woman. It was developed at a Shaolin temple by numerous top monks or masters to combat recurrent military invasion(s).
Yeah dude, leg strikes, and jabs will do the job for you. Careful if you fight a small gritty bastard. Inner knee breaks, groin kicks, things that bring you down to the fighters size is what they are going to do. Martial arts has alot of what people consider "dirty fighting" but your talking about street fighting here. It's like the Jui Jitsu the Gracie's implement. It's for smaller people also. The good thing is, you can cover alot of ground in one step or change of stance.
bro I'm 6'6 and I practice wing chun, check out my videos and decide for yourself if you think it works or not. In my experience, (and everybody I have fought/touched hands with), being my size is HUGE advantage, no matter what style you study
I didn't say size was everything I said it was a huge advantage. I was talking specifically about reach. The smaller fighter must be quick and intelligent to neutralise a size/reach advantage. There is a mistaken belief put forth by smaller fighters with big, fragile egos that being big somehow automatically means you are a slow, lumbering meat sack, and this is simply not true. 5ft 10 is quite tall/big in relative terms btw.
i suppose strength is the big advantage we're talking about here, a guy of 5ft 10 would have to be technically flawless to beat someone your size, would you really consider 5ft 10 to be tall? im around that height and ive always thought i was quite short.
Well i can only speak from my own experience, and technique really can neutralise superior strength. But I know a guy who is 5 '10 and hes way stronger than me, even though I am quite strong. I know another guy who can chi sau rings around me and he's 5' 5! The thing is, even though his technique is superior, we have both agreed I'd probably win in a fight. I know a girl 5 '3 42kg who has MAD chi sau skills but so what? All I have to do is sneeze in her direction and she'd fall down.
I suppose its down to the individual and what they can do with the style they practice, ive always found boxing the best style for me, I used to grapple a bit but it never suited me physically or mentally.
@spamllpitdept Because there not styles based on deflection doesnt matter what size or weight some 1 is if they cant hit u and wing chun uses moves that are not allowed in any ring to take out your opponent as quickly as possible.
@dynastyJAM - You stupid fucking monkey, Wing Chin is neither sport nor combat. Just pure shit. Don't believe me? Go read what bruce Lee, who spent part of his life studying it, said about it when he threw it in the garbage for other sports then to form jkd YOU SILLY TWATHOLE
@spamllpitdept dude he didn't throw it away, bruce lee just added different things from other fighting styles onto wing chun to perfect it and become his own fighting style.
the old man as you call him would wipe the floor with all of you

If its a purely fight in stand up position
The old mans got a chance
But if its just mma old man can definitely not push chuck liddal off him on the ground

@SirKickz Thank you for saying it. People who understand martial arts enough would know not to criticize other martial arts and would be humble enough to learn from others rather than criticize and think that their own art is better than others. Each martial arts have different strengths and weaknesses - all are good in their own respect.

Um...No. Look, mma artists can get full of themselves, but, as a fighting sport, it is very legit, and don't sit there on a high horse and say they don't train hard, because they train like monsters. And you know, sure, mma folk can be full of themselves, but that doesn't give you the right to demean all the hard work they put into being good at what they do. So you need to fuck off, cause I'm willing to bet that you wouldn't last two days in a legitimate mma gym.

I've got respect for anyone who puts that amount of work into their training regiment. As a fighting system though, MMA tends to be sloppy and unfocused, and leaves the practitioner open to any number of really bad vulnerabilities. It's the same idea as a Muay Thai fighter trying to kick a Wing Chun practitioner. We've got a handful of kicks that will, in one moment, deflect the MT's kick, then proceed to break his other leg. Options in a martial art equal success.
MaestroDraven 7 months ago
@MaestroDraven
I would revise that to say that options in martial arts CAN equal success. It's a legit way to look at it, but it's not the only solution. A lot of people in the history of fighting have made the claim that they can counter a boxer's punch or a MT kick, but then their defense just gets smashed by the sheer devastation those strikes carry with them. I guess my point is that it's dangerous to assume that just because a martial art is simpler doesn't mean it's any less effective.
SirKickz 7 months ago
@SirKickz
Very true. A guy that trains his legs more than his upper body will obviously deliver heavier kicks. It's only natural. The same deflection may, or may not work. Depends how prepared the defender is. Look at Capoeira. Extremely energetic, requires a lot of energy to maintain. You can land some powerful blows, and it's difficult to anticipate attacks because of the ginga. But since it only uses leg attacks, it's somewhat limited if you happen to break the ginga.
MaestroDraven 6 months ago
@MaestroDraven
Another thing to remember is that, at the end of the day, your mastery of martial arts can be pretty accurately gauged by your mastery of the basics. I think, a lot of times, people get too caught up in flaunting the number of techniques they know. Professional fighters know better than anyone that fighting is, at its core, about footwork, distance, timing, conditioning. Actual technique actually falls below all those things, in terms of priority.
SirKickz 6 months ago
@SirKickz
Totally true. Which is why I kind of shake my head at guys that make fun of the basic Wing Chun exercises. It's like they expect to be doing cartwheel kicks and taking on scores of bad guys right away, with no training. The basis and structure is all lost on them due to impatience or through a perceived wasting of time. It's not a quick road to walk.
MaestroDraven 6 months ago
@MaestroDraven
Right? I'm more a physical kind of fighter. I believe in the philosophy that must prepare your body with conditioning before you are ready for any techniques. It's kind of like the way Samuel Jackson taught basketball in Coach Carter. He made them do nothing but run like hell during practice for the first half of the season before he even started teaching them plays.

Majic275 1 year ago
@iHuwae
in a way, he has a point. A boxer's punch comes really, really fast, and after it hits (or misses), boxers are trained to retract their arm to a chambered position just as fast. So trapping that arm with a sticky block is gonna be very difficult. Not impossible, but difficult. The key to beating boxers is usually to forget trying to outpunch them, and focus on attacking their lower body. They aren't trained to defend their legs, so all you got to do is drop an elbow on their knee.
SirKickz 1 year ago
@SirKickz And how do you propose to drop an elbow on a boxers knee when they don't raise their legs, unless you are very very short.
Chewyfied 1 year ago
@Chewyfied
If you step in fast and deep, bend your knees, and crouch forward, the knee is easily reachable with an elbow strike. If you wanna dispute that, that's fine, but that's not the point. The point is that boxers aren't trained to defend their lower body. So that's where you attack. Stop wasting my time with nitpicky details. What specific technique you use is largely irrelevant.

I think saying "real kung fu looks bad" is a matter of opinion. Take iaido for example. Some people may think its the most boring martial art ever, but I think its quite beautiful. I think wing chun looks rather neat as well, even if some people may think it looks horrible and un-entertaining. See things for what they are rather than what they could be.

As the story goes Yip Man was seperated from his wife so the two sons did not start learning Wing Chun until in his 40's.If you read back and ask why they were never mention with the others Bruce Lee, William Cheung Wong Sheun Lueng, its because they were not around for the challenge fights back then.

Fighting isn't what Wing Chun was created for, it was there to teach people to defend themselves and counter using the attackers force.
Most Wing Chun masters avoid any type of contest, unless it's a direct challenge,

There's at least 2 different ways to throw that vertical straight punch... I've seen the totally vertical hand, and I've seen a hand bent 45 degrees. One seems to use the index finger's knuckle and middle finger's knuckle, while the other uses the ring finger's knuckle.
My question is, why are there even two different punching styles and what lineages do each follow?

The woman who taught Ving Tsun who we keep hearing about and who is said to have developed Ving Tsun was simply a monk at the Shaolin temple during the time that Ving Tsun was developed as an extremely efficient,fast physical moving, easy to learn and work with Martial Art intended to be used to produce fighting masters quickly in the Shaolin temples because the traditional styles took around 16 years to learn and they were running out of monks.That woman simply survived the temple's destruction

Here this guy has the ear of one of the masters and he doesn't even know why Ving Tsun was developed in the first place.
It has not a single thing to do with helping 'little people' fight big people, or else you would certainly see a lot of midgets in these schools getting their little selves kicked and punched clear across the room. It was also not developed by a woman. It was developed at a Shaolin temple by numerous top monks or masters to combat recurrent military invasion(s).

Martial arts has alot of what people consider "dirty fighting" but your talking about street fighting here. It's like the Jui Jitsu the Gracie's implement. It's for smaller people also. The good thing is, you can cover alot of ground in one step or change of stance.

size is great but it isn't everything, i could give you a guy 5ft 10 who has destroyed guys bigger than you.
crouchtrac 2 years ago
I didn't say size was everything I said it was a huge advantage. I was talking specifically about reach. The smaller fighter must be quick and intelligent to neutralise a size/reach advantage. There is a mistaken belief put forth by smaller fighters with big, fragile egos that being big somehow automatically means you are a slow, lumbering meat sack, and this is simply not true. 5ft 10 is quite tall/big in relative terms btw.
bknives 2 years ago
i suppose strength is the big advantage we're talking about here, a guy of 5ft 10 would have to be technically flawless to beat someone your size, would you really consider 5ft 10 to be tall? im around that height and ive always thought i was quite short.
crouchtrac 2 years ago
Well i can only speak from my own experience, and technique really can neutralise superior strength. But I know a guy who is 5 '10 and hes way stronger than me, even though I am quite strong. I know another guy who can chi sau rings around me and he's 5' 5! The thing is, even though his technique is superior, we have both agreed I'd probably win in a fight. I know a girl 5 '3 42kg who has MAD chi sau skills but so what? All I have to do is sneeze in her direction and she'd fall down.
