  • This guy's name is sifu morten , he along with "tommy carruthers" are the ONLY person on earth not, or at least in youtube that is the closest to bruce lee , and not even shaloin monks are fast as them.So yea, pls show them some respect to these 2 ppl who are close to lee and not say shit to these guys

  • @MechPhantom does he teach? where? can u tell me the best wing chun master in ny cuase i wana learn.. lol i am asking you cause u look sooo educated in this topic u do not need to answer :D ty

  • @MrWILDHULK1 yea he teaches no joke, but sadly its in denmakr =( if only i live there i WILL learn form him ahaham . nah im not educated as well, but i kbow this kinda stuff pretty well man coz i have seen this guy in seminars LIVE and HES FUKCING fast no joke ! haha see u apl

  • @MrWILDHULK1 Moy Yat lineage School

  • Faster than ANY shaolin monk i ever seeen !!!

  • Very nice focused strikes with control. To move that fast takes practice and conditioning. Great job!

  • Now this guy is good!!!

  • Krass :D

  • the finish (the crazy fast striking) is ok i guess. would likely finish off the opponent. but what's up w/ the flappy-ass chi sau?! might as well just start their drill fr a distance w/ their asking hands up n practice going in on each other fr there. coz that fast-n-floppy rolling isn't helping them develop ANYTHING. i bet they couldn't even explain the purpose of the rolling the way they're doing it. where's the seeking the center, proper elbow position, balanced sticking, finding angles, etc?

  • @JaeSenji  Exactly, the Tan Sao/Bong Sao transition isn't clearly defined. i understand the point he's trying to make by exploiting the trap, but frankly there's no point in wailing away for that long. The more time you spend rolling, the more sensitivity you gain, and the less that situation will occur. Carruthers is without a doubt a very good fighter, but a poor teacher.

  • Dude...this is soooo Fake!!! OMg...If you've seen REAL Wing Chun masters they don't move that fast...it's totally edited...

  • @Crystilwyn You have no idea what you're talking about. I'll leave it at that.

  • Does anyone now the Sifu's name?

  • This is not so good. The guy might be fast but hes lifting his shoulders. No power can be produced that way.

  • @UghAgh12 That's true, the relaxation is very important. A punch is not just the hand, its the hand, the elbow and the shoulders. If you don't respect this you might not succeed in a fight.

  • Does anyone know of a full time WT school? Not a once a week class thing. But a full time every day collage type thing.

  • cool *_*

  • damn Morten u r fast:)

  • where we can find wing tsun academy? I just see muay thai, karate, kung fu... that art is great.. I need it :D

  • @QueVidaCara

    wing tsun is a kung fu art u moron

  • WTF? O.O

    

  • bad chi sao,, and this is jkd , not wing chun -.-

  • @faca123321 It's indeed a bad chi sao, but, it's Wing Chun. where do you think Jeet Kune do comes from?

  • Bela merda, treina assim mas com adversario nao faz nem 1/3, vai la luta MMA entao qro ve se rapidinho la.

  • @Rei14587 quem disse que MMA é luta que se preze?

  • @di959 Isso é, acho MMA bem podre pra mim é briga de rua, mas não vejo ninguem q realmente sabe lutar subir num ringue, participar de um campeonato conhecido, treinam treinam e ficam ae parados. CAde um Bruce-lee da vida pra mostra oque é arte marcial de verdade...

  • @a211pc- the reason u dont see this in the cage is that mma guys are conditioned to take punches, and wing chun isnt boxing, it isnt overpower your opponent or catch them with a haymaker and win, its body mechanics, speed, and attack to vulnerable areas such as neck, eyes, groin. ufc fighters are beasts, they are amazing athletes and great fighters, but a wing chun guy wouldnt square off with a boxer/kickboxer. he'd go in for a quck crippling attack and get out of there.

  • this guy's speed is dizzying. and if he were to hit a person at force, he'd only need one or two of those punches to end it more than likely. people havent been hit by a person who grasps how to correctly punch in wing chun if they think there is no power

  • let's see all the fighters in the Octagon take on someone 70+ pounds heavier and win. I'm so tired of hearing about the Octagon, where there are rules and people paired off to match weight. How real is that?! Come on know it alls... let's hear your excuse!!!!!!

  • It's so bad huh ??? well how come not one person ever uses it in Cage fighting ..they allow fists and they allow hitting ..wonder why these WC guys aren't competing ? now watch someone say its soooo deadly they can't use it .. LOL

    Try this stuff in the octagon and lets see how effective it is ..end of story ..

  • No matter how fast you are, you will never be as fast a bullet. Bang!! You dead

  • @nerve yes but bullets are for cowards, you are a coward if you rely on a gun.

  • what´s the poin of that many punches if the don´t have any power ?

    WT guys always do that ... there is no need for that in wing chun if you can generate that "certain kind of power"

    use a "golden combination" of 3 combos like for example double chop to the throat and strike right into the face. that is for once faster, more effective and easier to do.

    besides all that if you asked the WT way of wing chun to put actually force behind their punches the always became way slower + still very weak

  • @schulleee you're wrong. All those hits are very powerful. As you put more strength in hits, will be less powerful. more speed more power. more strength less speed = less power. is the secret of relaxation in wing chun. if you want to throw a stone. would you put the arm very hard and would use strength or relax the arm and give all the speed you can? an arrow can kill anyone. but the arrow has no strength. only has speed, developed by the pressure of the bow. ( pressure not strength).

  • @schulleee Suppose a truck is 80000 tonnes, moving at 5 km / h. if you get forward, you just will pushed. but a bullet from a few grams, is at a speed of 340 m / s. and generates a lot of power and could run you through from side to side. is the same as in the blows of the wing chun. sorry for my english

  • @tutanota

    yeah i know i am well comon with how the power generation in wing chun works since i am into it myself.

    but the WT guys have a very awesome way to mess that up that´s why. it has always been the same so far even with sifus from diffrent countrys.

  • puta q o paril!!! lembrei do dragon ball, krlho fikei ate prestano atençao pr ve se n tava acelerando o video ...esse eh foda!!

  • fuck thats cool!

  • U can see the guy didn't use his full strength,or else his partner will be dead by now :D

  • most people turtle or try to back up when they get hit that fast, I'm going to find a wing tsun school now..

  • @leka1622 Where are you from?

  • Og dansker :D

  • what is the difference between wing tsun and wing chun?

  • @sweetooth216 let me explain... the name it self was written in the chinese symbols.. and they translate by listening to it.. so there are many ways to write it... but they`re all correct... some write ving tsun, like the one i do =D

  • @sweetooth216 i think it's the same.

  • kwan sau left or gaan sau right sorry...either would be good

  • he pulls his opponents arms down n pauses...as soon as that happens his dummy opponent should kwan sau to the right pinning his arms n fak sau to the throat. end. theres no response from the other guy so ill asume its a drill & its drilling bad ideas of pre thought combos.

  • @DanieleToscano Unless the purpose of the drill is conditioning the muscles for faster reflex. Practicing a few strikes over and over is just that...Practice. I'm sure they have actual sparring sessions that do not require one opponent to stand still.

  • @gooberhead81 Those muscles of the instructor (person on the left) are trained already... no need to practise on a student. For him it's just a demo of speed for the sake of which the student (on the right) stands still. Anyway they"re not at the same level, they're not supposed to do sparring together. If interested, you can find other Chi-Sao videos where both parties are active. And yes, sparring exists in WT/WC which may also include kicks, ground combat etc too ... Nice day :)

  • @johnhook100 Watch under "Chisau sifu vs sifu" eg. to get a better taste of Chi Sao. Very elegant and demonstrative but still should not be regarded as real sparring! It's more like a nice "play" between highly trained experts. Real sparring is different and very difficult, since it's not a sport with rules.

  • @johnhook100 You can never get enough training. "Trained already" is an irrelevant and really a non-existent phrase since in all martial arts, there is *always* room to improve...but of course sparring is a part of it, otherwise there is no real way to practice the application of a technique.

  • watch it n youll see what i mean..he pauses for a good half second before attacking. he pulls back to wind up this silly routine n the guy lets him. if its a drill then fair enough. if its s display of his bad ass chi sau then its not all that. see what I mean now?

  • This man is a pretty excellent fighter...No matter what you guys say his mastery of wing chun is incredible

  • wow this guy is fastet tahn ANY shaolin monk i ever seen , no joke man !!!! even fast than jet li maybe even donie yen wow !! just amazing !

  • PAUSE... FAST FORWARD.... hahaha

    

  • Jason Statham!!!!!! hahahaahaaaa

  • each time he could be countered with gaan sau...ffs he even steps in before he starts his little wound up routine. super fast...but apart from the untraditional to yip man hand position in chi sau you cant know how well he is switching that energy off...given a counter, any counter, how would he adapt? not all that

  • @DanieleToscano It's a little hard to counter when being struck so fast in just a second or two, the most anyone could muster at that point is a push in my opinion.

  • cont...someone with equal speed of which we are many would have hit him first. if this isnt a drill i think it shows alot which is not true to wing chun.

  • @DanieleToscano Ofc it's a drill.. It's muscle conditioning.. Also known as practice. Helps your speed and what not. Not to mention this a demonstration.. lmao.. I'm sure his "opponent" could hit back if he wanted too, though i don't think the other guy would be too happy when it's just a demo or what i said.. Practice

  • this looks like some kind of drill...lok sau jeet kuen, means lost hand, straight punch.... his opponent is crap. may as well do it against the dummy. watch the pause as the other guy lets him pull his hands down....waits...then does his practiced combo. unimpressive and annoying. in that pause sim

  • very fast, this guy is probably a great wing chun expert, from my observation it seems to be all in the triceps, not tension or flexing while punching, good job man , peace

  • I want to know who this guy is.

  • I do understand that. Most schools sell the idea that anyone can be a badass after done training. I have trained Tae Kwon Do, Kung Fu and Karate and in all those schools I didn't see one student who honestly impressed me. They all seemed pretty timid and meek. If u want to get in shape fine. But most martial arts students are not hard core fighters in my experience.

  • its the same as all wing tsun... too much premiditated and irrelevant movement. Always the wing tsun will loose to the regular fighting techniques such as kick boxing . the guy is just standing there for example, letting the other dude do as he pleases... never gonna happen in the real world unless he's drunk.

    

  • @astapasta0916

    this is an exercise, not a fight. So that you are not able to see this I guess you never trained any martial arts. I trained Kickboxing a lot in my youth but laughing my ass off over your comment.

  • @astapasta0916 You have no idea what your talking about dude. This is a training exercise and Wing Tsun is stripped down version of Wing Chun, it is designed to knock out or stop your opponent as quickly as possible.

    Heres a Wing Tsun Vs Karate match, watch it Search Wing Tsun Guy Vs Karate Guy

  • @astapasta0916 you really ought to try it for yourself before condemning a martial art.

  • @majin2912 I have tried Wing Tsung, Karate and several other martial art forms. The brainwashing of people regarding what is the best form of combat training continues.. Anyone who can fight, and i mean fight not train a martial art to exhibition level knows this. Most of you guys are really just looking to fill the hole inside with some sort of a confidence boost... sadly this has nothing to do with being a fighter.

  • @astapasta0916 I would agree with that, but you must remember that most martial arts teach people to avoid escalating a conflct to a physical contest. And the odds are anyone proficient in any martial art puts them at an advantage above probably 75% of most people. It's not likely you're going to get mugged by a professional MMA guy.

  • @astapasta0916 you dont have to stand there, you should move freely but also wait on them to strike. after one block you can do what you want to them if you know wing chun

  • @astapasta0916 its training. you dont want to hurt your training partner. you claim a kickboxer will always win... well when a kick boxer trains... he kicks a bag... the bag is just hanging there... not kicking him back... anyone can kick a bag right?... your comment is just stupid friend.

    its not the style its the fighter. fighters are born. not made. a born fighter who trains in any discipline is a beast.

    however, one can train to defend oneself. from perhaps, a mugger, an abusive spouse?

  • @rhazesdark "its not the style its the fighter. fighters are born. not made. a born fighter who trains in any discipline is a beast."

    ~ Few men are born brave; many become so through training and force of discipline ~

    ~ Courage may be taught as a child is taught to speak ~

  • its the same as all wing tsun... too much premiditated and irrelevant movement. Always the wing tsun will loose to the regular fighting techniques such as kick boxing .

  • a ja sie pytam co z powietrzem w plucach przy wyprowadzaniu takich ciosow

  • Lacks power and to flashy.its not the style im talking about.its the man

  • ik nog sneller

  • Lol they`r from denmark :D i can hear it.

  • Comment removed

  • @jimmyjkd english please?

  • Comment removed

  • @jimmyjkd You seriously expect people to speak that shitty language? go fuck yourself dude.

  • @tidusian nice to see you speaking good french dude, anymore? with love xxx

  • Comment removed

  • holy crap that's fast!also impressive is how he controlled his blows and didn't hit the guy for real!

  • @jordouellette....that's great but wing

  • bullshit who exposes their neck like that and attacks in a straight line oh yeah i know other idiots who play patty cake this shit is garbage

  • @samtotheg

    He wasnt intentionally exposing his neck, his arms were initially trapped. Chi sau is an exercise that involves a lot of trapping.

  • @beejdee

    why in the fuck wud ya practice something that cud get knocked out ,,,,practice how u wud fite ,

  • @samtotheg Its just a drill. Drills for training exist in all martial arts. Why do boxers train on a speed bag? you dont fight like that but it has other benefits which improve your fighting skills. This the same.

  • @beejdee

    you got a point, so now yer gonna show me the non drills where they have their chins tucked in rite

  • @samtotheg Thats called sparring ;)

  • @beejdee

    i know what thats called so if I ever find that footage they wud have their chins tucked in rite, they will use proper form when they spar rite.

  • @samtotheg They would use proper wing chun form. Just like any other style uses their own form. its not all the same.

  • @beejdee

    and proper wing chun is bullshit , whether its practice or actual combat they have FUNDAMENTAL flaws in their stance movement and execution of the strikes,try that shit ona box and put it on youtube i bet if u did taht u wudnt be doing this jane fonda fitness boxing pattycake crap any more

  • @samtotheg

    Lol, boxers have never done any good againt martial arts that utilise kicking. Sure, fists on fists a boxer can best anyone, but one good kick to the balls will ground any boxer.

  • @beejdee

    wow u dont know a boxer stands sideways and moves around well makin it hard for u to kick him in the nuts but try it dude go on fite a boxer and use yer wing chun tell me how that works out .

  • @samtotheg Who said I train wing chun? Stop attacking styles you know nothing about. stick to what you know and be respectful

  • @beejdee

    wow u dont even train that shit now why is that, and you can like what you like or do but where do ya get the balls to tell what i should like or do

  • @samtotheg Because you're just like all the other bull shitters who sit behind their computer screen critizising other styles of martial arts. If you think wing chun is so bad, find an instructor and challenge him.

  • @beejdee

    i practice martial arts dude .... ill do that and u challenge boxing muay thai and mma guys etc with yer wing chun dude good luck yer gonna neeed it

  • @samtotheg I practice martial arts for self defence, not for proving one style is better than another. I have no interest in challenging other styles whether they are more effective for not.

  • @samtotheg

    If only one punch out of those 209348 hits/sec gets you, samtotheg, you're a dead man... It'd be interesting to see how many of those punches you can protect from, but done with the straight intention of hitting you, unlike this.

  • @zsoujiro

    oh yead dude cuz im throw punches like a wing chunner and stand in front of him that close , i dont strike period anyways he wud be taken down to ground son

  • yeah...fast!

  • WHO IS THIS !!!! Please Respond

  • all you fools need stop arguing which style is better a person with a great knack of fight will win a fight...

  • @phillyphil050888 You could be right, there are guys out there that just seem to 'have it'. But I do think it's important to find the way that suits your body and temperment. I have a short stocky frame with long arms, that's why I like WIng Chun. Im not fast enough for karate, and muay thai seems to suit a guy with longer legs than me.

  • @chefshitpiece im saying noone style is better then the other is about you..you should have a style that fit you..but a style really picks you..as mat have a knack for something you dont know

  • all folks that argue about which style is better..bruce lee and his master preached that all about you and how are able to adopt to a fight...

  • Go watch Ip man and see how bad ass is Wing Chun

  • @CustomFig

    lp man is Wing Chun!!!

  • @eikeegi20 no Leung Jan is Wing Chun, he had the title King of Wing Chun!

  • @CustomFig go watch peter pan and see how people are flying

  • @CustomFig

    Meaning what? Should I watch those terrible movies from Hong-Kong-Cinema or do you mean the black-white-shots of YipMan which were taken to demonstrate the siu-nim-tao, chum-kiu and wooden-dummy-forms?

    Both sources lack any `bad-assing´ - the first, because of unability, the second because of its purpose...

  • someone said muy thai 1 hit kills. not only is he hitting sensitive spots but he hits 10 times in the time it takes other arts to hit once! Besides marial arts should be about self defense, not killing. Good to know youcould if you had to I guess. I'm a student of wing tsun and my sifu, when combined with real time foot work, is something to be feared! this is just chi sau, we have a whole training regimine for practicing actual application against a full force aggressor. and it gets rough!

  • Hvor henne er det i træner WT? Kan høre i er fra Danmark

  • dat guy has very good controlling, he touches d other guy, n didn't hit @ all. imagine if he has dis speed in a real street fight.

  • 1 hit kill in Muay Thai...

  • wow lightning fast....... but were is the strengh.... of course it looks great, but I'll stay with my Kyokushin and aikibudo... you know things that were meant for war

  • @jordouellette wing chun's power comes from the technique of the punch and not the momentum, twist, etc. These punches use the entire body and not just arms, shoulders or legs, but all of them combined. and besides, with punches that fast your windpipe would be gone before you could do a thing about it. also, wing chun doesn't need as much power because of it's close-range advantage.

  • @jordouellette

    Kyokushin has awesome power, and the speed of the kicks are second to none, but Wing Chun goes hand in hand with most Aiki styles... they're a perfect compliment to each other. When you combine the two, you develop a tactile sensitivity reflex which I like to call the "Seikuuken" (an "Absolute Territory" or "Area of Control" so to speak)

    I blend Kyokushin, Daitoryu-Aiki-Jujutsu, Wing Chun, & "Tricking".

    (tho Tricking isn't a martial art, it's an artistic expression)

  • @jordouellette Power equals speed plus strength...the more speed exerted, the more powerful the strike

  • @jaaahblastinq yeah yeah yeah and the tsuki punch is slow as hell... of course am an ignorant I have only 13 years of training in three differents martial arts... sorry I leave you with your dancing.... I meant Kung-fu

  • @jordouellette

    All the chops are directed to sensitive body spots.......... i don't think the guy wants to kill his training partner. In a real fight, if power is added to those strikes, the opponent will die. Can't you see where the strikes are going? His throat, wind pipe.......blah blah blah

  • too much aggression....this is why i prefer tai chi chuan....and noim not talking about the video im talking about the idiots who instigate or pursue comment fights here on youtube...*sighs and continues meditating*

  • @Uberologist

    I personally think Tai chi is way too calm lol. When i used to live in Hong Kong all i see is old people (60-80) all lining up in a park and doing tai-chi. And they sure seemed slow as hell

  • @666Jackdevil666 i do see why you think that i also thought tai chi was slow and boring and for the most part it is...but what i found out is that tai chi is the perfect base for learning other martial arts as in it developes flexibility and power because in those slow movements can take a toll on muscles and tendons and helpscondition them to where i can move on to other things like judo and tae kwon do.and plus there are combat applications to tai chi and yes iv used them in a couple fights

  • @Uberologist

    I always thought that Tai chi was an exercise for old people to keep them from being bored and grumpy LOL...... Now that you've mentioned real life applications, they actually seemed quite useful.

  • ok its really fast but is hitting u with a feather really fast gonna kill u,u cant hit hard and super fast at the same time look all the boxers they build momentum to hit with power not just slapping their hand around

  • @freddy692000 If you're hitting fast enough you don't need strength. It's a well known fact that the human body can withstand only a few impacts before bones start to break and tissue breaks down, as well as nerves becoming messed up. Therefore numerous hits on the chest at a fast speed with only a little strength could essentially put a man in hospital for a heart attack or broken ribs. That's not to say you shouldn't hit hard haha. They obviously hit lightly to avoid harming each other :)

  • @freddy692000

    accuracy is better than some wind up haymaker. plus getting off 3 blows to the windpipe and isolating your opponent is far better than taking a gamble on some slophouse boxing technique in close range.

  • @boxersbeatbrawlers i am not saying that he isnt gonna hurt u but wont knock u out

  • @freddy692000 you dont know shit then fuck off eith your dumbass opinion

  • @0lykperry0 ok so u are a martial arts master and u know better

  • @freddy692000 actually yes lol i teach karate, kickboxing full time and fight for england in karate, 1st dan in kickboxing and bjj and have started wing chun so ummmm eat my balls?

  • @0lykperry0

    You have a dan in kickboxing? Pretty cool, seeing as you're probably the only one in the entire world.

    Also, the use of your words makes it pretty clear you're just a keyboard warrior between the age of 12-18

  • @TheAnimal220 ???? fuck off you faggit unless you know every nartial arts academy in the world you can go back and sniff your mums knickers

  • @freddy692000 Wow you looked at that dude and questioned whether it would hurt or not....hahaha you must be pretty dumb xD Intention makes all the difference my friend ;) stab a feather in your eye and say it doesn't hurt, though I imagine his hands have must more substance than a feather.

  • @JAZZiKiNZ very nise words i agree with you 100 procent peace

  • @freddy692000 Take a look at Bruce Lee haha, he has pretty much the absolute speed AND power....not to mention body type in good combination....well, we'll never know since his passing...

  • I'd like to see that guy on the dummy.

  • wt is a sport for small people to knock down big people

  • @kingofnix33 You are wrong, WT has never and will never be a sport. It is a Martial Art. There is a difference. Once is defense, one is play.

  • >_0 Geezus. If i could punch that fast, with the size of my arms i'd break my sparring partners.

  • wow its wonderful

  • When will people understand that its not one style that beats another but one person that beats another. There isnt a point to argue over style superiority. It can and will never be a proven fact that one style is better than another. Wheres the love at people?

  • Don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking it, because I know a master of Wing Tsun would kick my ass, but doesn't it look a leeeetle bit funny? If you weren't paying attention and you just saw two of them going at it it would look like a slap-fight. But still it's pretty cool. Like ferocious kitty-cat style. Except the kitty is on crack and steroids and death.

  • @VampyreXIII Yeah, it really doesn't look impressive. In fact, it looks goofy and more than a little effeminate. Doesn't mean it's ineffective. :P

    Heck, BJJ involves you humping people all the time, and there's nobody really trying to claim that it's homosexual.

  • @halfassedfart lol. I've never seen BJJ but I'm definitely looking it up now.

  • @halfassedfart I'm claiming that the Gracies are all gay ninjas

  • @VampyreXIII that was my first impression of wing tsun, been in it six years now. Had chance to roll with many people from different styles and different branches of wing tsun (wing chun). Fast, deadley and most perculiar, sneaky, like a ninja.lol

  • Comment removed

  • a joke

  • insane :))))))

  • so fast!

  • yeah, it's fast and it looks really great, I wish I could do that. except when it comes to a real fight u'd better not rely on flashy stuff that u practiced against a wooden doll with no real sparring, or u're likely to get stomped on your face... trust me: if u don't SPAR, u are not ready to actually fight! if, and god knows why, u would spend about 50 years of your life perfecting these skills in REAL COMBAT, maybe you would kick ass, but there we yet have to see W.C. in MMA tournaments.

  • @DrAndreiPopescu you r a retard....i dont do this art but i know that they spar all the time and kung fu arts are not for sport like mma it is for self defence....mma is not the ultimate proving ground for martial arts, if you want to prove if your art is good how about you go to fucking Iraq and prove it i n REAL COMBAT!

  • @kingj477 it is you who are a retard! if you say WING CHUN spar, than you don't konw what sparring is: is both players trying their best to win, no holds barred within the established rules. if you don't do that, than how will you know it would work when you really might need it ? that's why I don't believe in shit that doesn't use sports challenges, real sparring, tournaments, etc. cuz if u're reasonable, u can't be sure it works! SANDA WU SHU on the other hand is great!

  • Comment removed

  • @DrAndreiPopescu

    keep on believing in the power of sport fighting and tournaments and rules, you'll become a great sportsman. For real, and that's a GREAT thing!!

  • @zsoujiro I see no problem with that. should I believe that I need to learn how to fight with just the intent of being able to hurt others ? would that make the world a better place ? or me a better person ?

  • @DrAndreiPopescu

    Bro, learn everything you want and enjoy it, be it martial arts, sports, arts, science... just learn whatever, I'm not saying sports are bad, or that you should learn something with intent of hurting anyone. You just have to understand there's an INFINITE gap, between martial arts and fighting sports. And even if I personally think both things are great (and can even help each other), you can't go around comparing and saying "your traditional art sucks, go do some MMA".

  • @zsoujiro well no even if I don't recall saying exactly that, it is my honest opinion that the "martial" aspect of Wing Chun leaves a lot to be desired. NOT the art itself, maybe not even the concepts behind it, but rather the applicability in combat situations. also I'm not the one to preach "go do MMA" since mma isn't really a martial art per se. it might be that if one is interested in Wing Chun but also in actual fighting, it would be best for them to combine some other styles as well...

  • @DrAndreiPopescu

    I get your point, I believe firmly in the power of combining different practices and martial arts. The only thing I criticize about people who likes to criticize martial arts, is that they talk too much about "real combat", and then they end up referring to fighting sports, as if you gonna find real combat experience in sports. The only way to experience real combat is to have real combat, and no real martial artist really wants that.

  • @DrAndreiPopescu

    wit the omission of a few things u cant do, like hit the groin or eye poke or pull hair or whatever ,mma is the closest thing to a real fight, it simulates just about everything, wing chun doesn work in that sport setting then it probaly wont work in the street or any other fight setting.

  • @samtotheg true that... I think u replied to me by accident :D
