  1. It really depends. I’ve defended myself with YouTube wing chun one time. The stuff like parry to backfist works, the oblique kick combos are sound. But it’s all how you train it that makes the difference.

  2. It doesn't work. That's why Bruce Lee developed his fighting style after training in Wing Chun. It wasn't practical in street fighting

  3. Is that supposed to be proof that it doesn't work? A straight classical Wing Chun punch from the side is quit ineffective, shoulder roll … but show off your stuff in full-contact sparring! I'm curious.

  4. Sticky hands, or parry. Nice, it's just that the wing chun stance is out of form, and both arms should be straight and proper as usual. 👍

  5. On a funny note there’s a guy on a thread who said sparring in wing chun is useless in real world violence because there’s no rules..amd I’m here like a whole point of sparring is so you can learn to take a fucking punch 😂

  6. I’m learning Wing Chun now as we speak. I had my first class yesterday, It’s Ving Tsun paired with Jiu Jitsu Ryu. I get the art on a knowledge basis because I did a ton of research on it, studying people like Ip Man, Bruce Lee, Moy Yat etc. My instructors are actually descendants of the Ip Man and Moy Yat lineage. I don’t believe in sayings like “this style is better than that style” or “this style isn’t effective” because it’s only as effective as the user makes it. Even Aikido can be OP if the right person is applying it.

  7. That is really good wing chun. If you get really good at wing chun, the motion is fluent and easy to land, making it effective if you get good at it.

  8. overhated style, not great on its own but I learned it is REALLY potent when combined with boxing, like what you did there? the guard pull? change the right punch into a right cross using all your body? that works a lot.

  9. You need to attack with combinations and more power hitting. Some of the punches in WC dont have enough power to hurt or stun someone or shock the opponents mind to stop moving. I love WC, but this would be the problem I would fix first. Most of the Asians are very small people. But a 6 foot 250 man are over here in the US. It has to work on men this size.
