Marvel952: Everywhere and nowhere in these clips :)
The video is from a grappling tournament, so you don't see Weng Chun expressed like it usually is.
On the other hand, the two people we follow in the clips are Weng Chun Sifu Henrik Sprechler and Sisuk Morten Sværke Andersen. A big part of their grappling game comes from Weng Chun (the rest being from BJJ and Submission Wrestling).
We named it "Weng Chun at OpenMat IX" since we represented the Danish Weng Chun HQ at the tournament.
Bhibatsu: I agree with you that BJJ is not always the best option for barfights (though I certainly wouldn't discard it completely).
But please remember that this video is from a sports event with specific rules and a safe environment.
It all depends on what your goal is, and if you're having fun achieving it. Chess is also a sport, and also relatively useless in a bar fight, but people still practise it and have competitions in it.
Not to mention, in real fights in the street or bar, it's never one on one, making BJJ and rolling the ground utterly useless as you'll just get your ribs and skull stomped in while trying to armbar someone.
In fact I heard of a bouncer in Australia who took a troublemaker to the floor and mounted him, only to be spiked in the back of his skull by the other guy's girlfriend with her high heel, needless to say, he died.
For the warrior, it is desirable to benefit from many tools and disciplines. However you cannot assimilate 2 different kinds of information simultaneously without taking away 1 from the other.
Learning multiple arts is fine. But beware becoming a jack in both arts and master of neither. This unrealistic starting position without any striking, is well within striking range, but no good strikes or even attempts. A fight always starts standing, & if good ends standing.
I train them both, and I admit they are two great systems, no doubt. For all those guys who didnt do Wing Chung, you really should take some classes and its not hard as Weng Chung :D
We train BJJ as well as Weng Chun in the academy. Weng Chun and BJJ have a lot of things in common, but are at the same time quite different. We train both to get the best from both worlds :)
I train Wing Tsun sinds 2003. I always thaught it was really great. In 2007 I spoke to someone who did Weng Chun. I heard already about it, so I really was interested. Snce I saw Weng Chun I really want to train it, but it is impossible when no one in my neighbourhood is giving any training in it. :(
I live in the south of the Netherlands. I've searched for different school, but I only find some EWTO, EBMAS and IWKA. Those are only Wing Tjun/Wing Tsun/Wing Tzun. I really hope you could find a trainer near my place...
I wouldn't know about Wing Chun, but in Weng Chun we have a lot in common with Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
The BJJ bodywork & way of thinking is so similar to Weng Chun, that we can easily train both without getting confused or making tradeoffs. And if you want to be able to fight well on the ground, BJJ is among the very best there is.
In this video, I use almost exclusively Weng Chun during standup, and BJJ on the ground (I'm the smaller guy in black).
I keep telling people Wing Chun is already a complete form of MMA fighting, you just gotta know how to use it. There are hand strikes, kicks, knees if you want, traps, grappling, controling, sensitivity, etc. Why not use these principals on the ground as well? From my experience with BJJ guys, etc, it works! On top of that you can train in one art and get good at it instead of training in many different arts.

Good to hear that you want to train Weng Chun :)
Where do you live? Maybe I can track down someone relatively close to you, who trains Weng chun :)
