- Or it looks fake. Like all things in life the skillful always seem to make things look easy almost fake, so that's the nature of skill. First work on what your body understands, big movements, things you can see and feel easily. As your skill and co-ordination increase, slowly tighten it up, and make it softer.

I would like to inform the Wing Chun community that Grandmaster IP Ching, the youngest son of Ip Man, passed away on Saturday. Rest in peace Grandmaster. Thank you for imparting your knowledge upon us!
Sad news indeed! :(
Rest in Peace, Grandmaster! Was it of natural causes? How old was he?
@macabebe ebebacam actually he respects real wing chun masters just not ppl who are fake fighters who say they know it when they dont
@macabebe ebebacam wow you just played yourself congratulations he would slap you for saying that shit fuck outta here
@Avery Chance Yeah, but they BOTH do the crappy modified, NOT the complete traditional!
Adam, getting a lot from your videos, technically and philosophically. I having some history in Wing Chun but more in Aikido. In this and other videos on take-downs and arm-locks, I see a lot of Aikido technically and in principle. I like that you bring the different arts together and stress mutual respect. The Found of Aikido was know to say "Do not fear the art that is stronger and do not mock the art that is weaker." Keep up the good work. It is something I do not see reflected on CZcams.
I feel this instructor knows how to teach and useful
techniques
He does...
Wing Chun and Kung Fu are great martial arts you just have to be willing to adapt them and put in the amount of time of training to make them effective.
Exactly instead of instantly says "it's fake" that's the easy way. It takes much more work plus humility to figure out how it actually can work.
Anyone can say anything is fake you can say MMA / UFC is fake combat because it has rules, I don't understand the myopic views without honest research 🤷.
@@delroymarkland9162 exactly when wing chun guys lose in mma people seem to forget half the moves in there art are banned putting them at a serious disadvantage
Also sparring is important. It doesnt need to be hard sparring all the time.
I loved your explanation for the progression and I completely agree. Beginners like that hard feedback.
Can't wait to touch hands with you Adam if I visit Vancouver... amazing
I saw something that reminded me of something. Kung fu does work and it can be applied to many degrees with control depending on your intent. And sometimes we don't realize what we learned until we see it take shape before our eyes.
Nice explanation.. Most practitioners in the early stages like the rough aggressive moves.. I’ve always liked the simplicity.. I didn’t start doing Wing Chun to learn brutality. I choose it for the efficiency and practicality behind the techniques... I started in the Leung Ting lineage, but I enjoy your teachings
I study Leung Ting as well. I see where he's coming from in not going straight to internal as many of the newer students lack the patience it takes to wait for internal power to become strong and so dropout or use Li(muscular) force counteracting the internal their sifu's are trying to get them to develop taking them even longer. By starting external they learn physical structure and as they become more relaxed introduce the internal engine. Truly the fastest way to the end is to start internal in my opinion but only for those who are not caught up on needing to fight right away.
So is wing chun good? I Mean in a real fight with someone who knows how to fight?
Thanks for sharing 🙏🏾
Sifu, would you mind doing a video on how you would approach hook punches? I've found that since in Wing Chun we train so often on a straight/centerline that it can sometimes be a gap. I've trained and learnt that you would typically approach hooks with a jamming Tan/Biu Sau at the elbow as early as possible to prevent it from building power (or just beat them to the punch with a faster straight punch). But when it came to sparring situations sometimes (since we're not used to it), full speed hooks were still a little intimidating, and if you ended up moving backwards (as can be the naturally tendency sometimes), I'd end up copping one or two at full power. This was particularly a problem when opponents threw good, sharp hooks (as opposed to the slow, wide, drunken street swings) which made the Tan/Biu Sau approach a lot less safe and easy.
Use high Bongsau & twist the body simultaneously.
High Bongsau is not in traditional Wungchun
Sorry to say but the tan/bong/biu sao vs a hook is pure fantasy. It is the wrong range. You can do it to a swing, but not to a propper hook. You do use the biu jee form thou. One thing that works realy good is the upwards elbow. I forget the name. Kup jar? A move as if you're brushing your own hair backwards, covering your temple with your arm. Your elbow will end up inside the hook and you can use that as a lever to get inside it with more elbow work. If done right, they can't pull back their arm without pulling themselves into your other elbow. Worst case, you've "only" blocked it the way a boxer would.
Gotta love the ignorants in the comments
Such a lazy ad hominem. Why not tell me how my other comment is flawed?
The Tao can’t be explained it is embraced.
@@EmperorsNewWardrobe You've never spar them :)
Pegasus 175, an attack on my credentials instead of my argument, is an erroneous form of reasoning called an ‘ad hominem’. Try again
@@EmperorsNewWardrobe Well I guess you missed the whole point of this video. You have to try it before saying anything, same goes to every martial art. How are you going to judge something only by watching videos?
I need to attend your classes.
You are 1 of the only few good wingchun sifus on the internet
People don't like this water stuff because it takes a lot (more) skill to pull off than the direct stuff. So they "feel" it's fake, and demand pressure testing with gear (sparring or scenario testing).
Very good comment
they should not demand anything...they just have to STFU and leave people who are interested in this stuff in peace...this shit starts to get annoying
Love watching these older vids as my knowledge and skill has increased since I first watched these hit a bit different now. Personally I love playing the joy stick into the 4 corners in my chi sao ( using opponents elbow to move the torso to the shoulder or hip joints). Which equate to the take downs by throwing the punch through the hip joint. And the throat punch into throw down is just nasty 👍🏾.
0:00 to 5:45 : nice teaching, master
3:56 to 4:01 and 5:42 to 5:45 : Master, you have my sincere respect and admiration
If you really have a ball to test a grandmaster, do it on the street fight without any rules then you will know how good he is, not in MMA or UFC like children playground
The rules are for protecting your master when he lose the fight.
You do realise that discarding the rules means the MMA fighters are allowed to do that to the "grandmaster" as well right?
The true grandmaster don't need any rules nor protection but only fair fight
I agree. Most people seem to get off on power. They don't seem to understand that high level game is about cultivating effortlessness. Strange.
YOW LOVE IT ! !!! THIS CHANNEL IS FIRE
very well said ;) great video ;)
Fake? I would never say that to the guy that beat my ass and made me like it
One thing that I am always impressed with Wing Chun is how fast their hands move, something I have always wanted.
Where do you live? There are plenty of Wing Chun schools out there. I go to West Coast Wing Chun. It is amazing.
Mei Jing Thank you
Love the follow ups off the pak sao Adam. I'm from the hood and tried to join your school but it was covidish time so you weren't taking students. I found a diamond in the rough of a Sifu...but I honestly see the true value of your vids being in the potential applications. I think one needs to spend time with a Sifu and learn the forms of course but also to roll and then chi sao, touch hands learn about not using energy vs energy. Like Sifu says, the forms are a like letters in an alphabet that can be used to form many words and stories. But visually seeing how they can be applied and how to do it then follow up in real situations is great stuff. I still say Wing Chun needs more look sao if people really want to be able to use with instinct.
Hey Adam, thank yoou for sharing these vids. I am finding the very informative. Always finding things to supplement my Kempo training. Wing chun has always held some intrest to me in it's medium range orientation . Keep them coming.
Sir your simplified the learning
I enjoyed this video and This Sifu’s prospective. No nonsense approach and practical.
No nonsense? Not sparring is complete nonsense
Wilford Grimley I totally agree with you on that. But this is just a demo of some self defense application from a point of contact. Me I’m good, I see where he’s going with it.
Maybe the Sifu for this channel has some videos of his students or him sparring? You always could ask?
@@JEM-fo6rs wing chun schools dont spar. Im a wing chun practitioner of lo mans lineage. This is where the contact ends. Im lucky enough that my sifus disciple takes me and my brother outside of class and puts us to work. Gloves shin guards cups and mouth guards. Wing chun has done so much for my body mind and spirit. Its more than a martial art its a lifestyle. But at the end of the day we .ust remember that it is indeed a martial art. An art of warfare. If you're not learning to fight what's the point?
Wilford Grimley well then you and your school mates are indeed fortunate to have such a teacher. I’m from William Cheung lineages and we are blessed to also benefit with sparring and we have different schools of MA arts come and share there knowledge. My Sifu is definitely all about the realism of fighting being it competition or self defense.
I can’t disagree with you about WC don’t spar? But I don’t think we should blanket all WC with that. However I don’t think it’s enough schools of WC sparring ,Gear up and GO! Lot schools are happy with just Chi Sao as a form of sparring? But it’s just a drill for contact reflexes. A very important drill nevertheless.
In my earlier days me and my Kung Fu brothers would spar on Saturday class then catch up at my home, or the local park on Sunday morning gear up and do it again.
We definitely tried to keep it real.
When do practice start
Would be nice to see if applicable in a sparring or real fight
dont hold ur breath
@@alichekbigi?
@@tomg5405 u will never see it cuz it doesn't work..no wait theres a couple of videos of WC masters getting beat up really bad by the chinese mma dude that issues challenges to them
@@alichekbigi it depends. the guy in the fight you speak use the technic he not use and their main problem is that they never had real spar. I used myself some wing chu'mn techniques in boxing and thai box it worked good, but you have to know when you use and have fighting experience what all this guy don't have, they think just with training is enough. That is not the case it is same people do boxing aerobic and think they will be able to defend themselves and know how to fight ... 😆
A real fight or a real match?
Wow!
These are nice ideas for Kung fu practice!
I want to train Wing Chung but I live in Egypt, Northern Africa . Do you have any advice for me Adam?
Adam has a website. I don't remember but I think you can get live web lessons. I might be wrong.
@@9usuck0 Thank you Ronald, I have just sent an email to them.
If you're really good wing chun practitioner it can be very useful although I think choy lay fut king fu to be more practical as a combat discipline
Ronald Hodgson do mma
@@tpawaits550 don't listen to the trolls. Wing Chun is the best fighting System ever created. And notice that I call it a system. It is not a style it is a system. Good luck on your venture. I hope you find a sifu to train under in person
Brilliant Adam.
Great video there, and with actual octagon ring fights will be even better as need more combat Wing Chun martial artists to Step up to fight MMA fighters like Xu Xiaodong
Would love to hear a little more detail on making the opponent fall with hand at back of knee + pushing at the hip. I heard something like trick the nervous system....
It's simple leverage and has nothing to do with tricking the nervous system
Mr. Adam, I watch your videos. I have a request. Please do a drill that demonstrates, how to deal with a haymaker punch, or wild swing punches that throws specially by taller guys! I have to deal with mostly taller guys. Thank you.
So... where’s the answer to the question « is it fake » ?
The real one is MMA. Proven in and out of octagon to defend your self.
MMA isn’t a martial art
His videos are very good, he transmits that passion for wing chun
I see Silat ,mixing Silat an Chun very effective...
Maybe it’s things that are shared with Silat, he doesn’t credit Silat itself.
That Pat down move is not easy at all but when you get it right it crazy how well it works lol. My sparring partners always look confused as fuck when it works.
Which is the best martial arts for self-defense?! I need this info because I have to go to lessons: I am getting bullied. & I need the best martial arts for self-defense. 🙏
Get a gun?
Its effective for opponents that dont know how to fight...
Opponents identical to you🐲🐉
Then fight me and I’ll show you
Both comments roasted u Tops.
It's for self defense, life or death. Any means necessary. Not for sports in the ring.
These moves are nice, but that’s not how a real fight works. Unless you’re Bruce Lee fast, you’ll leave your head and neck exposed. Also, people don’t just leave their punch hanging out there for you to capitalize on.
He was only providing an explanation, ya ning nong.
You don't know you have not tried it!
It's always worked for me.
You are really great kong fu teacher.
We do the same thing in Choy Li Fut and Chen Tai Chi, beginners start with the super basic stuff, and then build on it. Come to think about it, BJJ was the same too. We had to learn the very basic guards and counters and spread out from there.
I'm thinking the people here that are talking about sparring and resistant partners have never taught before. You have to start from the very beginning with baby steps.
Adam Chang vs Xu Xiadong
Who would win??? Any guesses!!!
Some of you guys dissing "fake kung fu" need to listen to Ramsey Drewery talk about how he and his coach got schooled by an old Tai Chi master. It's on his Marital Artists are terrible athletes CZcams vid.
I know a couple of ex ring fighters who are now deep into internal kung fu
I saw the very same video and I was pleasantly inspired
I'm in the UK but my sigung is Eric Li out of Vancouver
nice share...
World will say chinese kung fu is fake until it wins in the UFC.
So far Muay Thai,black American boxing,African boxing,and brazil jujitsu has made champs in UFC. While kung fu is...?
good approach
Lovely clip
Less is more
Impressive!!! Adam Chan wow! Look easy if you know yourself and have been fighting for a while. There is alot of TV kung fu with those punches, but that is why people like Steven's fighting because he dispenses his opponents faster. But so does Jet Lee, Bruce, Jackie also takes puts the fun into the fight.
People who say Kung fu is fake never really trained Nd or see how practical it is because it’s not for you.
I think people didn't listen carefully to what xu xiao dong said. He said he is exposing fake kung fu out there not that all kung fu is fake. He even said there are traditional styles that are effective. However I do believe that wing chun is not meant for tournaments because Bruce Lee did mention wing chun being most effective in a bathroom space. Bruce Lee can't be wrong.
We say it's fake because it obviously don't work. It is never shown in an actual fight only in demonstrations. While there is 100s videos of so called masters getting completely fucked and knocked out in less than 10 seconds. They experience being hit in the head for the first time. Because they never actually fought before.
@@TibiaOTarena there not masters u gotta be kidding me 😂 u really think a black belt would be knocked out in 5 seconds please
@@TibiaOTarena again ur generalizing everything who does real combat with fakes u see on the internet that’s like me watching a fight in ufc and staying who ever loss can’t fight 😂🤷♂️like what so because Conor loss’s fight he’s not a real fighter anymore
Thanks Adam.
guys who understand internal martial arts are intuitive physicists
Good to see some high level technique on display BTW 👍
But l not going to punch how this student of wing is punching here..my punches are going be very mean and with real bad intention so this blocking of hands will not work , you either have to dodge or slip my punches and infact most of the people will punch like me if it gets to street fight ....didnt mean to disrespect wing chun but some of the rigid n orthordox rules should broken and new method or techniques should be added or embraced for safety ignoring the ego based on cultures or belief
Sudhakar Tamang ya but the techniques shown here don’t require the elbow tap. You could perform these moves with a slip just as well, the “blocking” hand can be put there as a guard instead.
@@tubesism yes you re right that can be done and it makes more sense in real fighting ...
I'd say the double-leg takedown's popularity is largely in part to the popularization of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, where the focus is almost entirely on ground fighting. For a BJJ practitioner who needs to get the opponent down to the ground fast, but is constantly training against other grapplers that are used to fending off takedowns, it's a good technique to learn to get someone down without spending too much time training stand up (it's also crazy easy to slip in under punches from someone who's not used to being shot on). What most BJJ people forget is that the stance for striking is far less stable than a grappler's stance, and a double leg is usually not necessary. Lyoto Machida is one of the best examples, showing that a Karate trip can put down any striker on the ground if timed right.
Yeah cause fuck greco Roman wrestling...
Pak sau is to slap away using your hand. What gets missed is that used properly, a pak is supposed to serve the same purpose as a punch or a kick, otherwise, it is a wasted movement. A slap is always a sting accompanied by a surprised recipient. That reaction to the sting that the pak inflicts is very important. It's the split second you need to perform the next attack.
It's a good move you cover his eyes and go behind him. But as far as the 3 forms and dummy and I remember this move is there. It's off the menu move?
There is a difference between an instructor and a fighter. He is not a fighter, only a teacher of possible usually not probable scenario in a REAL fight
Now I know why wing chun hates boxer. They retract after punch. So no sticky hands.
Nice video. Your wing chun uses Silat entires.
Maybe it’s things that are shared with Silat, he doesn’t credit Silat itself.
Wow you angle is right on cuz we only see theatrical!! You flow onto a reality
¡Incluyan traducción al español!Gracias
Very odds when ignorance people of UGC said karate works but kung fu don't.
Test it against pressure and we will see.
They won't
"You can't teach people water" proceeds to teach water :)
I love your vids man. Always quality stuff.
Very good and real wing chun.
Thanks for this vidéo
All I know is, I've been taking long fist Kung Fu for a little over three years, and I know several people who can put me on the ground in sparring using it. Will it dominate UFC? I dunno. Probably not. But to say it's useless is crazy to me.
Faux Bravo you are very fortunate to have a school that spars. Do you have any videos of this? Doesn’t have to be good. I’d like to see.
@@tubesism I don't have any video, but you're not the first person to ask.
I should give the caveat that we definitely don't go crazy hard.
No shots to the face. We're only allowed to use sweeps and stuff if both people have experience and agree. It's light continuous sparring with no pads. We do pad up if there's a tournament coming up to get used to going harder again, but it's never full contact.
That being said, it feels pretty legit to me. People still get hurt because even going light, shit can happen. We're not supposed to hit in the face but that doesn't mean people don't still throw face shots, which means you still get punched from time to time.
I still wouldn't bet on me in a fight against someone from like an MMA gym that spars hard, but I think we're doing some useful stuff.
@@fauxbravo that's not sparring then dude. If youre not getting hit in the face youre not preparing for a real fight. Period. You will fight how you train. If you've breve taken real shots to the mouth then when it happens in a real situation you will forget EVERYTHING. There is no way around real sparring. Gloves shin guards and face shots.
@@wilfordgrimley4339 It's not full-contact sparring. It's definitely sparring.
@@fauxbravo if you're not getting a taste of a real fight then its not sparring dude. Its just a drill. You have no clue now to handle a punch to the face if you do that. So whats the point? So what do you do when you're in a real fight and get rocked in your eyeball and the shit is stinging and you cant handle it and all the while this dude is taking off on you? What do you do? You'll fight how you train.
Exelente instructor enseñando difundiendo el arte de la defensa personal . El Kun fu .👍👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋💪🙏
Sería genial verlo en la Realidad y no en un ejercicio de coreografía, me parece increíble que la gente se apu te a cosas donde no hay prueba competitiva de su efectividad.
Kung fu guys used to come to our Tae Kwon do. Dojo and they would hurt us with kicks and strikes that hurt...
Who said it was fake?
Joe Rogan I think
this thing doesn't work because your opponent will draw back their hands not hang there
I love Wing Chun Kung Fu. The only issue I have is that Sifu often teaches to defend a type of punch that nobody uses in the real world, ever.
This style of fighting would only be useful against someone fighting the same style. Just for starters no normal person throws there punches like that from the chest and straight. Only need to loop those punches and that guys knocked the fuck out.
good Master 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 he always teach Kung Fu filosophy
" And another video where the practicioner willingly do what their master said "
I mean... Arent that how you teach someone in every factor of life? You start with a slow and scripted condition, then when you ready your teacher gonna give you the real problem to solve.
In this case, the master give you a scripted case to show you how to do the technique, and then when you ready he gonna tell you to go spar so you can try to use the technique on fight situation.
I mean... How you gonna get a grasp of how to do the technique if you dunno the basic of it?
Its like your teacher skipping the entire semester and when throught to final test without doing any class.
useful
why doesn't ever do any sparing, just shows example of still moves, nor dynamic movement like in sparring and real fight
I searched for Kung Flu and ended up here
That is one of MANY different combos you can use in wing chun! It really all depends on what your preference is. As long as you stay within the confines of the traditional system and the ten concepts, you can modify (I hate that word, it is very deceptive and has multiple meanings) or change it to suit your abilities or disabilities, your personality, even your likes and dislikes! This means that some like using the fist, some like palm strikes, some use locks and throws, some like using kicks, some use sweeps, and some even like using some grappling (wing chun, of course, which uses all ten concepts, which makes it superior to jiu jitsu the same way wing chun is superior to jiu jitsu!). This is all fine and allowed within the wing chun system.
@mateas786 What do you mean? They are similar in useage and both use small circular motion to deflect or throw someone.
Absolutely. Even the taking center concept is the same as Aikdo.
And that takedown by pressing into the hip is in Aikido.
Similar concepts but WC focus on strikes while the other focuses on throws.
Nobody really hits like that
Great video! You should make videos on how to block real punches that happens in a street brawl like right and left hooks. In reality your opponents are not going to throw straight wing chun punches at you. Make a video on how to block an uppercut or right hook.
Great, great, folks just don't understand, I always know it's the young ones that don't understand these things.
People always want to showcase strength or "tension" as you say, but in the beginning you must learn the way to move without force, then you learn to do it with force, then under pressure with force, next under pressure without force (which eventually looks like little force to the natural minded or a novice/intermediate mindset).
You cannot do anything with people who persist to misunderstand you (what you're trying to convey).
Yes I have been doing Wing-Chun for over 40 years. Well said people keep running into beginners and not 6 foot 220 practitioners like me.
Not fake but very ineffective. The best striking is boxing. It's been shown many times
You mean kickboxing...
I like the idea of integrating throws opens up a whole new world. I would like to see a gloved up exhibition style demonstration or a bit of free sparring against an uncooperative opponent.
And yet it’s just ANOTHER theoretical wing chun video where cooperative demonstrations are decorated with endless explanations from the royale great grandmaster with cheese. Fighting is chaotic. No pressure-test, no buy.
Yep
Yeah, how does anyone let themselves into those situations where they can punch someone in the belly while having their hand on the back of their knees ? I see a good occasion to land an elbow in the back of the head after some knees to the face. Ok I fall, but you hurt.
maybe they start slow then once the person is ready they move into a more chaotic fight like situation
Shane Mcgonigal, why do people like you confuse a criticism with a request for advice?
@@EmperorsNewWardrobe sometime it is good to enlighten the ignorant
Who says?
Also of note to MMA lovers, Anderson Silva uses JKD and Wing Chung.
Look are there techniques in wing Chung or traditional Kungfu that can be effective? Sure there are. Does that mean a guy who learns to throw kicks and punches against air is going to step in against a boxer or kick boxer and win? No it doesn't. The JKD that's being "taught" today is not the JKD that Bruce Lee envisioned or championed. Bruce Lee wanted a true complete practical combat system. Judo, Karate, boxing, some wrestling, taekwondo...he was throwing Muy Thai knees and elbows long before anyone outside of Thailand or Brazil saw it as anything more than a novelty jungle show.
Aikido was developed to "complement" judo as a way to disarm swordsman. How many swordsman are walking around Japan today? What you have is a lot of traditional martial arts that were/are being taught that no longer have a practical purpose and for what ever reason people just can't move on. It doesn't certain elements can't be effective but know Wing Chung master is going to be able to stand in a boxing ring and wrist/forearm knock away the punches of a prime Sugar Ray Leonard. It doesn't mean they can't use their foot work to create distance and back out of an engagement without getting completely obliterated.
Very nice moves....Very good teacher...but the street is very dangerious......empty hand=💀
needs more NIM TAO. #cstwingchun

Wing chun is the art for lady protect her self is good
250+-years still 1 in 100 is ok
👏👏👏👍
Well this doesn't prove this techniques are practical. These are just drills. Don't get me wrong I do Hung Gar but the best way to show applicability is by sparring or tournament fighting against resisting opponents.
@Damien Daniels Then I believe your base fighting skills came from your other martial training not from Aikido. Aikido is a "post graduate" style developed by a veteran exsoldier who was an expert in Jiu Jitsu and Kenjutsu with real life or death hand to hand combat experience, as a more gentle philosophical approach to martial arts. Made to complete fighters who were already experts who did want to hurt a potential aggressor and decided to subdue them with minimun damage. It doesn't work well for novices who have not learn timing, distance, rhythm, developed strength and speed. For this there is the testimony of dozens of Aikidokas that have leave Aikido for other martial arts without really unserstanding its roots.
@Damien Daniels You can call me a fool but my opinion is well founded I have participated in many forums in which testimonies of people from schools that didn't spar or fought in training, just couldn't handle a real life prolonged encounter are common. Some could be false but several are true. There are also several channels here in youtube of ex Aikidokas and other non sparring martial arts that leave them because of bad experiences. In the other hand, I have had real life duel like full contact fights with people who claim Wing Chun with no sparring and two pure Aikidokas who never spar and could not handle a fight. As well as experience with their (and mine) school mate, a cross trainer in Shotokan, Hung Gar, Aikido who sparred and routinely fought in full contact tournaments.
Kung Fu has 5 learning levels each with sublevels and variations empty handed and/or with weapons. The forms in the air. Application drills (individual or multiple attacker drills). Conditioned sparring one opponent or several (in which the participants are only allowed a restricted number of techniques to apply or counter apply). Free sparring one opponent (light, medium or full contact). The most advance is multiple attacker free medium contact sparring (with restricted space, free space or restricted techniques)
@Damien Daniels Its almost the same either way I am too old to be offended by this. Ok Aikido is your base but you are a cross trainer you have had training in the military in judo based grappling and striking.
@Damien Daniels My opinion is not about you, although you claim sparring is not needed. It is about schools that don't practice sparring routinely. Also my opinion is based on both personal empirical evidence and in testimonial evidence which includes interviews in channels in english and spanish. This are the bases of social studies to which martial arts belong.
i have practiced wing chun very breifly from master lee in MISSISSAUGA.ont .ca you should be so lucky to learn any of this art?? this is not fake ! its discipline beyond western comprehension !!""" try the hoarse stance? " or maybe ?? your tough enough?
A martial art, but not one that is effective against a fighter who uses other styles...only effective against the average person with no training in combat fighting
Kicking, striking, and chopping only the softest parts of the body's Centerline when in tough situations, eyes nose throat, solar plexus stomach and groin. Is Cobras best offense. I've used it in real fights, Cobra n wing chun mix is deadly. They dont teach the Three Gate Execution anyway, you gotta catch real practitioners
Fyi Back in the 90's my clubbing days I know some friends of mine are practitioner of Wing Chun and they get in a fight for a stupid reason and me as a good friend I will try to stop them from fighting someone but what I've seen is they always lose and get beat up all the time. They been practicing Wing Chun for a lot of years one of them is practicing Wing Chun since his 7 years of age. The bad thing is a lot of the guys that they fight is thugs don't know nothing about Martial Arts they nothing but street brawler. So I think that Wing Chun is not a effective form of Martial Arts on the street.
Then we all have a reunion all my friends to Las Vegas last year December. I asked all of them if they still practicing Wing Chun they said know, so you guys don't do Martial Arts anymore? Yes will still do Kick Boxing and grappling they said.
The idea of using wing Chun to fight 😂😂😂🤷🏻♂️.
