I'm interested in taking up Wing Chun. Just thought i might get some input for others. whether its a good or bad comment and/or inf your just in it for the points, i don't care, the more info the better i guess.
peace out
Wing Chun.................?
the techniques employed by Wing Chun practitioners, those being close-in fighting (the term "sticky hands may ring a bell for a few) can allow combatants to have a full blown fight in a bathromm stall, and not touch a single wall.
My experience with Wing Chun was training while deployed to Iraq; the techniques are designed to IMMEDIATELY neutralize an attacker through close-in fighting, including traps, joint locks, and quick, short-range, powerful counter attacks. There are also a number of disarming techniques that use both speed of movement and pressure point manipulation to remove a weapon from your opponent, and some if done properly will exchange the weapon from your attackers control to yours. VERY effective if taught properly.
Reply:i really admire wing chun and like what it has to offer. after doing my research I've found that it's definitely something I would enjoy and could utilise.
They have lots of energy drills (lap sau, pak sau i think are the basic ones) which teach you how to deal with cohesion and contact with your enemies arms. It's very good because it teaches you how to instinctively react when you make contact with your enemy, literally feeling their flow of energy and motion.
It also has emphasis on distance. Getting close is, I believe, intrinsic to wing chun as they teach many 'trap' methods to trap the opponents arms so they cannot strike you.
I'd definitely love to learn wing chun at sometime in my life.
Reply:wing chun sounds like a fun art to learn and very good system. but like with the rest of the martial arts it's about the teacher's training system and the students learning pattern when it comes to becoming a good fighter. so take a demo course and see if you first enjoy the teaching style and if you think you would improve at all. and good luck.
ps. wing chun was bruce lee's original style.
Reply:wing chun was created in the shaolin temple its creater is crediter to a female nun who was a disciple of the temple. wing chun tends to be side lined from its other more glamerious kung fu brothers because of its simplicity and lack of kick and jumps etc(compared to some other styles)
it was the main fighting style of bruce lee, doesnt use many kicks but he added them in his creation of jeet kune do.
Dr/grandmaster leung ting learnt it from the same master (yip man(or that might be his son)) that bruce lee learnt from and then went on to create wing tsun (they are very simular from what i have seen)
the idea behind it is to use other peoples forces against them so a little guy beat crap out of a big guy.
as its one of the traditional shaolin styles that is around today there must be something good about cos the ones that are just dont last

just a few videos also look it up on wiki.. the two styles you will fint are "ving tsun" and "traditional wing chun kung fu" i think its good stuff and am considering adding it to my arts im studding mma ppl have beef with it but they have beef with everything thats not a sport martial art (aside from combat martial arts they dont talk crap on ppl who do mcmap or modern army combatives or pekiti tirsia wonder why... they never even mention em *shrug* who knows) but yea i say go for it.. if i were you i would take a secondary art later on to address wholes in your technique... whatever wing chuns wholes are.... im not gunna name any cas i honestly dont know all that much about it.. but its ment to help smaller people counter attack and dominate larger people with a barrage of direct punches so grappling may be one of its weaknesses? dono any ways from what i have seen its good stuff
