I was wondering if anyone has seen any Wing Chun fighters from Japan or Thailand?

I was wondering what the Thai and Japanese Wing Chun fighters looked like?

Are they harder or softer. Do they have more stamina and strength than those in China?

Are their structures stronger?

My student, Blair Johnston, teaches Wing Chun at his 'Powerarts' gym in Osaka. He entered an all-styles full contact competition about 18 months ago, his first time ever in such an event, and won it outright. There is some footage of a couple of his fights on YouTube - search under 'Powerarts' - and you'll see that he used totally recognisable Wing Chun skills in every bout. He knows many of the expats in Japan who into Wing Chun and loads of them travel to Osaka regularly to train with him. Look him up if you're in the area :)

You can clearly see the WC. Good fight.
