What's a good martial art style to go with Wing Chun?

I've been studying Wing Chun for a few years. It's a great system, but I can see it has some weaknesses.. What's a good martial art to compliment what I've already learned from Wing Chun? I plan on continuing to study Wing Chun, but I've been thinking I might need something to go with it to be really good. I've been considering BJJ in case someone gets me on the ground, but I don't know of any BJJ schools around my area. What other systems would go well with Wing Chun? I don't want a system that goes against the basic principles of Wing Chun. Any ideas?

If grappling is you next concern, study BJJ. If striking is your big concern, Muay Thai is the way to go. I also study Wing Chun and find that it gives me a tremendous advantage when incorporated with any other martial arts style. BTW... I study in VA as well.
Reply:I would point you towards the path of Kali/Silat systems.


There's a few to chose from, there are also combo systems.


You can also look at other Filipino Martial Arts.
Reply:Wing Chun is a striking/kicking art. to compliment this you should look into a grappling/locks art. This will give you balance and increase your confidence.
Reply:i would answer one of the three major internal arts; ba gua xing-i or tai chi.





the principles shared between them and wing chun are many.





they will get you moving your feet/postition alot more.





while wing chun does have qi gung, as far as my exposure to it shows, it's lacking in how effective it could be for the organs and nervous system of the body. any of these 3 internal arts will address that hands down....and especially qi circulation from the waste down.





ba gua


xing-i


tai chi





thats what i would recommend...in that order.


good luck!
Reply:As was mentioned earlier, Wing Chun is primarily a striking art. And I agree with Pugilist that a grappling art would be best.





Try Judo or Aikido.
Reply:I know an instructor here in VA who teaches Wing Chun along with Kali Eskrima(Phillipino Martial Art) A friend of mine is actually a student there but goes elsewhere for Brazilian Juijitsu.
