I do wing chun and boxing,it's much harder to beat a boxer when sparring - to knock out someone in sparring you need a bit of boxing (hook,cross) but i love the trapping(chi sao) in wing chun.
@SSdownunder Amen to that! I started in Bak Hok kung fu but later went into competition kickboxing and man can I tell you how much, even if I don't use any kickboxing techniques at all, my kung fu fighting went up! I'm still in kung fu but I highly recommend to everyone that they should at least try a modern sport martial art.
stop can't hit the face, stop can't hit the back, ... thats why wing chun is a street style and not a competition sport. you should wait for the opponent to attack and react to that. don't forget to apply your basic principles or els its not WC anymore, but keep up the work.
@mantels85 If my opponent is in my range I should attack. Getting caught in the dogma of a style is a bad idea. in a fight you should always use all your available weapons at the correct time and situation. I used techniques from WC at close distance and some Piguaquan at long distance.
@Maaguaa thats tru, i agree on the fact you can and should combine styles,aspecialy in competition, i just say when you use wc techniques don't forget to apply the principals couse they are the foundations on where every technique in wc builds on, and get there strength. thats why in my opinion wc cant be applied to full affectiveness in competition because of the rules and restrictions, otherwise no comment :) grtz
@mantels85 That argument is why so many WC people fail. Unless you get into daily street fights there is no other way to train you timing, stamina, accuracy, attacks and counter attacks against a resisting if you don't spar outside of the comfort zone of your school. This is something Yip Man said.
what i mean is i don't feel like this type of competition is the best way to test or train your fighting skill because there are to many restrictions, i think there are other ways to train them without staying in your school comfort zone, where you can use your wc to its full extend (without searching for trouble everywhere ofcourse)
@mantels85 You can try competing in full contact events if they are allowed in your area. Point tournament won't give you the reality check that a full contact event will.

Maaguaa, Does WC and Pi Gua go well together?

@piguafan I only know a few moves of Pi Gua. WC is for short range and Pi Gua long range. At least for the sparring it worked lol.

@Maaguaa A few more than me ") I'm WC guy myself. I've never done any Pi Gua.... just a fan of it for now, till i can get my ass to china ")
Thanks!
