Thoughts on Wing Chun Kung Fu?

Kind of curious about this. There isn't any instructers in my area. Well I take that back there is one; but it's a Mcdojo. Who here is really into Wing Chun? What do you think about it?

Thoughts on Wing Chun Kung Fu?
Wing Chun is beautiful.





You practice subtly feeling out your opponent's energy by maintaining wrist-to-wrist (w2w) contact.





You practice the delicate balance between sticking to your opponent (w2w) but without being "heavy" (giving away your energy by pushing down/out), all the while maintaining your forward (striking) intention.





You don't have to be big or muscular at all.





Whoever relaxes most, wins.





Even at a "McDojo," ask if you can just observe a couple classes. Ask the instructor about his/her qualifications ("lineage"). Who was his Sifu? Who was his Sifu's Sifu?


If he can look you in the eye and genuinely enjoy discussing his lineage, you probably got a decent instructor.

Reply:Some say that it is a great counter to anyone trying to strike or grapple.





I have a video of some teacher speaking a foreign langauge that I downloaded and burned to disc. It looks extremely violent.





Until I actually see it in an MMA match, or a challenge like the Gracies used to do, I won't make any conclusions on its effectiveness.
