footwork is rigid, to confined, youneed to be able to move in any direction at any time in any cirmstance, i feel everyone knows this but there just all for the style. if you ever see a real fight you wil see how clear its, people dont stand, nor doing that follow with telegraph punches, so you can do wonderful tan sau's. the fake, hook, head butt, bite, deceptive, shout its a very different environment and until one of you wingh chun men real have a fight you wont know. best of luck

You make lots of comments that don't appear to be backed up by any actual experience of training with or fighting against people who practice Wing Chun. There are freeform drills such as 'walking the square/circle' that are primarily focused on free flowing footwork, constantly varying your angle and range.

Please don't be so naive to believe you can accurately assess, summarise and dismiss an entire system purely by watching a few videos on You Tube.

not convinced! i think this need to be tryed and tested, for real, when you are in a real fight under real conditions. espeically against boxer, there fucking hard, no wing chun could match a boxer hands in street. ther so deceptive aswell boxers. i want to see this demo agaisnt someone like amir khan, if it works then i will praise master kwok all the way, i just cant buy theory. it has to be real and work, and he should do it with ease with the title MASTER. show me realness

Someone trained in Wing Chun wouldn't try to box a boxer, grapple a grappler, etc.. - you are taught very early on not to fight people at their own game because to do so you are likely to lose.

To make a comment about the effectiveness of Wing Chun when boxing against someone like Amir Khan is pretty silly. You could say the same thing about Brazilian Ju Jitsu - in a stand up fist fight with Amir Khan chances are they would lose but that doesn't mean the system isn't very effective.

I think this is incorrect for training for the street, you are short changing your self if you train like this.

[ukdstrawdog]

How would you suggest you train for the street?

Respect all martial arts and understand where they came from. There is no perfect or ultimate system. If you can master a few techniques within a given system, consider yourself blessed. Every school has it's strengths and weaknesses.

A fighter doesn't make a school, and a school doesn't make a fighter. 250 lbs is still 250 lbs, tough is tough.

You only win a fight because you're luckier or tougher. If you're smarter, you walk away from it.

I am a boxer myself and trained ever since I was a child. And I am still no match for real Wing Chun. Know your facts before you talk grasshopperbl

HIS is sooo fast!!!!

Very well said. It has nothing to do with styles but the attributes of the person and what they have to offer to the discussion. My Sifu, Augustine Fong, said that combat is like a conversation (asking and answering). How you ask and aswer determines whether you win the debate (conflict). Good Job on the vid BTW.

''not convinced! i think this need to be tryed and tested, for real, when you are in a real fight under real conditions.''

Like hundreds of years of practionners following the wing chun way doesn't account for anything.

bedroom warrior your argument is unclear I very much doubt you have any experience in any martial arts. Stick to your power ranger outfit!!!!!!

[Seikima]

I don't think you know what are you talking about

[HayatoFernandes]

err my friend who learn boxing for almost his entire life say wing chun has a very effective blocking counter attacking system ;P

[SimKoning]

The person that is training me in wing chun boxed long before he did wing chun: he doesn't think boxing is "better". Not to mention the fact that Bruce Lee trainied and competed in boxing and continued to use most (if not all) of the basic techniques seen in Wing Chun.
