Defeat jeff chan with wing chun in a mma cage fight, now that you had lessons

@PaMuShin Ай бұрын

Or if he is too big for you, start with defeating gabriel varga with wing chun. Have a look at his signature moves, most professional fighters specialise in a small set. Like jeff with his double leg takedown, two step low kick and his intercepting cross. Then go to the coach or fong and ask them how to cope with it, finally crush him with wing chun.

If my background was Wing Chun I would try to feel the strength of fighters from Ashihara or maybe Kyokushin for the purpose of finding a method to protect myself against that kind of brutal attacks. I would start with Ashihara myself.

Everyone can go through the same medical or law school, but the outcome is different. It is up to the individual to understand and apply the skill learned. It makes no sense to say that this martial art is better than the other martial arts.

@@Haydean06Or Bruce Lee realised Wing Chun wasn't enough on its own so he added a lot of stuff from other styles. Bit like the UFC where BJJ and wrestling dominated, then the strikers started learning take down and grappling defences forcing the grapplers to learn more stand up skills until we got the hybrid style we have now.

Wing Chun has always worked in ufc, it was banned from being your “main art” because of the brutality of some of the moves. Lot of throat, eye, and groin attacks. It was invented to be the ultimate self defense system in China, it’s idea was that anyone could use it, big, small, weak, or strong. It was invented by a woman and the art consists of using the proper angles and pressure points to your advantage.

That ground trap was great, would love to see a fighter pull that off but they often are too far into trying to finish w/ hammer fists/blows to stop and take the time to think about trapping the defending arm like that, but thats a secure way to finish pretty quickly and give the ref no choice.

@neutrino78x Ай бұрын

Great video, very compelling stuff! And that's something that most of us over 30 have learned, it's the artist, not the art. Of course some of these kids commenting here on KZfaq are so locked into whatever they practice that they're convinced it is the only effective thing. And I include mainstream MMA in that ("only MT/BJJ works! Karate/Judo is ineffective!"). Everything is effective in its way, it's a question of how skilled you are in applying those tools. It's the artist, not the art. 🙂

I myself Practicing the Native Kali of Philippines. I find Wing Chun concept of Defense and attack similarities and effectiveness only closed Combat Actions. He's right to utilized his knowledged of Filipino martial arts and Wing Chun if it's needed to shift into these modes immediately when needed. Of course if the attacker prefers to long distance high kick and rolling over hitting it's time to shift to another grabbing, trapping , like Judo or JetKundo or Muay Thai boxing, I actually see you in these videos. It's like these five martial arts are coming out of your way of fighting. For me I see these 5 martial arts works effectively to get the opponent to play your system and put him down & win the fight . Not the other way around. Totally Agree with him.

wing chun always reminds me of HEMA just hand to hand instead of with weapons

@Erime Ай бұрын

Indeed. The 'knife hands' are a big clue, aren't they. It's just the term 'boxing,' I think, that gives people the wrong idea about its key open hand philosophy. As without swords or spears, it needs to rely on elbows to get the job done - to pressure for a 'bind' (sticky arms), and then trap for the elbow finish. Tony Ferguson Vs Petis is a good example to follow and shows the efficacy of such an approach. You gotta keep constant pressure on and hunt down the opponent whilst looking for the trap and elbow, though - as he says, space to run away is the problem.

@willtherealrustyschacklefo3812 Ай бұрын

Well the empty handed movements of wing Chun are largely based on the knives form of wing Chun. That's the same for most martial arts. You wouldn't train a soldier to fight one way with a weapon then a completely different way empty-handed, you would base them off of each other and use the same movements for both.
