    Thoroughly confused...

    I've seen plenty of fights claiming Wing Chun.

    Most will say there was no Wing Chun used.
    Some will say it's just a different lineage.

    But I saw literally nothing that resembles Wing Chun in...

    I don't agree significant power is being traded off. It's a matter of correct training for punching power, which is a primary focus of VT.

    I don't think that's a realistic threat, anyway. So,...

    VT purposefully doesn't overextend or overrotate for a reason. That's not a gap to be filled.

    It would be considered cross training to incorporate those things, but it would be counterproductive...

    Good video.

    If lacking long-range strategy and tactics in Wing Chun, borrowing from boxing is a bad idea if not looking to fight under their ring rules.

    Holy hell, dude... no.

    I can humor a religious person in their worldview to reach an understanding and make some points without adopting their worldview.

    Kind of seems like that's what you're doing with all the ad hominems in response to a technical discussion.

    Correct, but it does not follow that "everything is really just a punch".

    There is a need to reference the person who brought up different ranges because that is who the debate is with.

    Otherwise, no need to even consider the criticism, right?
