Yes it is a good defense for the street I studied this system. The main objective of Wing Chuns to be a realistic system of self-defense. That is why many feel Bruce Lee used it as his base for Jeet Kune do.





Wing Chun is effective for close combat because that is where all fights are at very quickly in a bar fight. Very rarely are you " ready" for the attack. Usually it is a flurry of fists or head butt s are a burr that result in both parties getting injured. Wing Chun emphasizes close quarters awareness and touch reflexes.





This skill translates to immediate reaction to close combat. The only area many Wing Chun schools are missing is a strong grappling program. Most fights do end on the ground and it is important you find a school that offers a strong grappling classes as well . I would also combine it with Muay Thai(I did and it has helped)





Take care,

Reply:You aren't supposed to use any type of martial arts in fights except in defense. But if you want it solely for defense, wing chun is a good choice.
Reply:Hell yea you can use Wing Chun to waste someone in a fight. This is a deadly sport and although ur sopposed to use it for defense this will definately let u win a fight and get some mad respect.
Reply:I would go with Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. These two together are a great combination. Muay Thai has been tested against all other stand up fighting techniques and has proven far superior. BJJ will clean up on a Wing Chun guy with twice the training.
Reply:Yes
Reply:like most styles it depends on whos teachin it. if its a good, practical instructor then yes if its a horrible greedy unskilled instructor then no
Reply:Your not another one of those guys who learns to fight just to start crap are you?
