Is WingTsun (Wing Chun) a good martial art to learn for Self Defence?


In what way is it realated to Bruce Lee?

WingTsun??
That was the first martial art he learned under Yip Man. Later on, he learned many martial arts as much he could, threw out the junk, took what worked, and he created Jeet Kune Do, which is a style of no style, a way of no way. Peace be to you.

Reply:check this out.... http://wingtsunkungfu.tripod.com/what.ht... i think its related to Bruce Lee cuz he was small size man and u dont rely on strength to do the art.
Reply:No it's not good. I would find something else to studies.
Reply:every martial art can be good for self defence, but if you want to be efficient you'll need to blend wing chun with other styles of fighting using kicking and grappling. Wing chun focuses almost on punches. You will know how to punch and avoid punches. Wing chun is a style of kung fu. Kung fu is a name given to the different styles of martial arts originated from china. Bruce lee was a kung fu practitioner but I don't know exactly in which styles he has been involve in the past. Today the art of bruce lee is often called jeet kune doo.
Reply:That would be a good starter it's a little hard though. Bruce Lee's instructor was Master Yip Man who was a master of Wing Chun, that's how they are related.
Reply:Yes it is a good style to learn, and I believe that Bruce Lee was the(or one of) the first people in the U.S to teach it here.

Absolutely. It is one of the few martial arts that deals with the area of defense called "trapping". It builds reflexive actions that translate perfectly to street fighting. It is very difficult to master but extremely efficient.

It is the first martial art that Bruce studied though he did not learn it completely. If you study Jeet Kune Do (which Bruce created), you can see several obvious elements of Wing Chun plus other art forms.
