Wing chun is absolutely amazing and if it didn't work people wouldn't teach it. Simple as that. Don't listen to all these ignorant kids saying other wise


I've seen plenty of people who take this defend themselves very well.


Muay Thai is what I take and it is also very amazing for self defense and doesn't require any muscle or bigness at all.

It is just whatever you're more comfortable with.
Hope you enjoy it.

So everything that people teach is good, simply because it's taught? I'm not so sure I buy into that notion.

well the idea is it is excellent in some situations, and not good but much better than nothing in other situations.
same can go with any martial art

I was specifically refering to the bold portion of his following quote...




As we know, many ridiculous things are taught. I won't mention any specific arts as to not offend, but any mature person with any experience knows that there are certain arts taught that are practically useless. And this is not specific only to martial arts, it's true life across a broad range of subjects. All sorts of worthless things are taught by various people/schools/organizations around the world.

I'm not arguing the quality of Wing Chun as an art one way or the other, I'm specifically refering to his mentality regarding that one sentence. The fact that something is taught doesn't make it good by default. That's all I'm saying

I too respect people of all orientations, but that's the f-ed up kinky shit yo

I know college years are a time of self exploration, but damn, don't do that in public, bro

WC is good for close combat fighting only since you use 80%+ ur arms, elbow & knees so for instance good for self defense in a pub or small alleys. I wouldn't say it's limitating its efficiency and use, but imo also train ur leg skills no matter what ur Si Hings and Sifu tells u.
I know what I am talking bout for those who knows me here.

I agree that was a silly statement.. I mean I'm sure someone out there instructs people on how to properly throw bologna rings like frisbees.

And I also agree on the leg work, it will not always be the scenario where i will be standing still nose to nose throwing elbows and palms. But then again all I want to do is get away. I dont wanna play around, piss the guy off and find out that he has a gun in his pocket.


Hit hit hit, run while he is choking/getting off the floor

this is lol.

this man goes everything that wing chun teaches you. he is not a "wing chun man"

so am I the only person in this forum training wing chun?
