This is how krav maga was created..Someone who doesnt have the patience to learn the hard way invent moves "more" practical...Maybe work against beginners but not to the others..

@dlvt79: Bruce Lee added boxing to WC, as Francis Fong adds Thai Boxing and other styles to his. You can hardly say either of them didn't have the patience to learn. WC, like all styles, has holes in it. Boxing is one style among many that helps to fill those holes.

Who ever made this is a novice in Wing chun.These guys were acting like there was no centerline,motherline and the forward motion interception of Wing chun.12 years of training  think Ive been hit 4 times.

@makkool: I agree it's not the best video/footage. I was in a hurry when I made it. Nevertheless, the concepts are solid. As I just wrote above, Bruce Lee and other extremely skilled WC men have come to the same conclusions. WC is not a "fighting system". It's a system to train certain structures, energies, and principles. It does have holes, and you need to fill them if you want to be well rounded.

Wing chun looks at a fight in 3 ranges. Kicking range (5 feet away or so, usually where a fight starts), punching range (arm length like in this vid), and extreme close range (point blank). Wing chun prefers to be at point blank but you only encounter problems when skipping a range, trapping is only used in the last range. There are bridging tools to get close enough for such things, but ofcourse a real fight isnt going to start there. You just need common sense to avoid taking gambles.

@HertaoNOLA Like the first guy said, they didnt have patience to complete the system so they're fighting system wasnt complete until they added other things. you train wing chun for 7-10 you dont need any other styles. it takes years to understand the system fully and than you will know that wing chun is far superior.

[cursegrindattack]

it;s similar like what Jin Young (thechinaboxer) explained. How to use Wingchun against the modern Style Like Boxing and MMA

[HouseDrug27]

Guardia pessima, linea centrale e linea madre completamente inesistenti, nel wing chun non esistono movimenti circolari (è il principio base del wing chun) ne tanto meno il cover su gancio...questo video può essere tutto tranne che un video di wing chun.

Street Fighting and Cage Fighting are not equal. There are no rules in a street fight which means anything goes, but there are rules in a Cage Fight. It is good to train MMA because it will give you a strong base, but to be ignorant of the other martial arts that train with no rules is to leave your self empty. Case in point is it smart to try and grapple a guy to the ground when he has a knife? No because most take downs learned in MMA have many weaknesses when it comes to knife defense.
