Is wing chun effective for self defense?
There are some aspects that would be effective for Self-Defense. As with all Traditional Martial Arts, there are some aspects that have effectiveness for Self-Defense. This is where Bruce Lee kept what worked and left out what didn't. TMA provide a good foundation for exercise, coordination, attribute development, etc. However, if Self-Defense is your primary concern, then I suggest finding instruction in Self-Defense, not TMA.





Here are some important questions to ask when selecting a self-defense school:





(1) Is the training practical and realistic?





(2) Are questions permitted in class?





(3) Does the school stress the importance of range proficiency?





(4) Is safety stressed during training?





(5) Does the instructor discuss the legal ramifications of self-defense?





(6) Are training materials available for the students?





(7) Are full-contact exercises conducted?





(8) Are ground fighting techniques taught?





(9) What types of weapons are taught?





(10) Is the information presented in a methodical and organized fashion?





(11) How proficient are the advanced students of the particular system?





(12) What is the general atmosphere of the school?





(13) Does the instructor seem to be in control of the studio?





(14) Can you afford the membership fees?

Reply:its what Bruce Lee was taught before he made his own method so it should be pretty good
Reply:For self defense..."no." Maybe for stress relief or staying shape. But for REAL self defense, either take BJJ and/or Muy Thai.

Reply:Anyone that says Wing Chun isn't for self defence knows very little of martial arts. It was designed by the elite of the Shaolin Monastery for that exact purpose. Designed during the period when Martial Artist where outlawed and killed for practicing Shaolin kung Fu. It was developed to utilise weapons that DON'T look like weapons, it uses position and speed which DON't give the game away, hence why it dosen't look like Wu Shu. It is designed for one job, and that is to get the job done as fast and as efficiently as possible utilising every attribute of the human mind and body.
