well, while wingchun doesn't concentrate on legs that much, eagle claw practicioners would probably (if skilled) trip up the wing chun practicioners legs attempting to knock him over, or lose balance so that he easy easy to hit.
an eagle claw practicioner would have a hard time grabbing a wing chun practicioners arms though because they both use chisao and it would have a lot of counter and counter again moves. I think the best way a wing chun practicioner can go is not letting the eagle claw practicioner get too close...and if they do immediately go for vital points, likewise, eagle claw practicioner will want to get in close to try and trip up and stop the wingchun practicioner, and forget trying to grab their arms, probably better to go strait for the throat and eyes.

Now what if it was a free for all with three people tiger claw, eagle claw, and wing chun?

More Chi, Train Harder

the styles of EC and WC are very similar when it comes to close quarter fighting. It is a misconception to think that the northern aspect of the EC system is what the style is about. Both EC & WC have similar techniques and to think that EC would dominate in the Tripping is a mistake.

For a real view of EC you have to learn the Lin Kuen form. Kind of like linking various chi sao like techniques and counters together for form 50 series of responses.

If I was to describe EC from other styles it would be. Xing Yi, Wing Chun and Swai Jiao. Not including the heavy Northern basic training.
