Well said, Andrew.

Ernie,

what are 2 things, in your opinion, that Non-WSL / GL wing chun people might benefit from experimenting with outside of the common WC lineage structure? (not to imply that anything is...

The "Hitman" is a two-armed option with a more realistic head.

(I've never used one, but it looks interesting.)

Congratulations, Aaron! :)

The 'Iron Wolves' team is racking up a pretty respectable MMA competition record....

(Thanks for the updates.)

Just don't connect it permanently.......

Sometimes you'll want it in another position.

Trust me. ;)

A Wing Chun instructor, -anywhere in the world, could release a video about "anti-grappling" and make a fortune, if it showed realistic takedown defenses against an average collegiate wrestler, and...

Cool List!! :)
Thanks, Dale. -I wish I had this a couple of years ago.

Two things on the list I was previously unaware of:
- Biceps/triceps control from north/south bottom.
- Control the...

Tim Roth's sword work was amazing in that film.

He obviously trained very hard for those scenes.......

Ray,

I have seen how you move with the knives in application, and IMO, it is good & realistic technique.

To say that you've been bested & bled, -by a skilled martial artist who specializes in...

tbone, just because you don't know about an MMA event going on in Jerkwater, Idaho doesn't mean I would assume you are some sort of elitist MMA snob. :cool:

Cut me some slack already. :o

I...

Answering for myself (abruptly):

mobility on the ground is entirely different from WC footwork,

power generation is different when one is vertical instead of horizontal,

positioning of...

Sorry, Tony....

I disagree with some of your views on MA, but you do conduct yourself as a gentleman on this forum, and I respect that.

My point was; wouldn't you want to warn the uninformed /...

Tony, I did not intend to make anything personal.

I only brought up the hypothetical "jab system" to illustrate the fact that a claim can be logically sound and still be completely divorced from...

Props to Lonnie Dodge.......

Did he learn the "overhand right" in the HFY kwoon or the boxing gym?

It was intentionally "over-the-top"....... The point was to show a hypothetical argument that cries out to be refuted because of it's absurdity, -yet cannot be, because it's theories do not violate...

Simply because the "constants of Wing Chun", do not violate principles of logic which can be pointed out in an intellectual discussion, -does not somehow mean that they are necessarily "true."

...

Regardless of how "authentic" that form may be, could anyone actually improve their fighting skills in any way whatsoever by practicing like that?

In my opinion, fighter = someone who regularly challenges themselves outside of the confines of a drill (such as chi-sau or patterned exercises), against [relatively] hard contact and skilled...

Nice flow.

I think I need to start training with Bob too.......

Dale, I'll see you in Cali if this guy agrees to share his secrets.

This all sounds so awesome....... :)

It's always great to have quality people in your primary art(s), as well as other arts to help your training move forward.

It's up to the party making a claim to provide evidence to support it, -not for others to disprove it. How can you disprove something that stubbornly avoids the best tests of it's effectiveness that...

Great thread.......

Thanks, guys.

Tony, I don't think it's unreasonable for people to want to see some measure of objective, empirical evidence before believing a stated marketing claim.

The local Kenpo school sent me a flyer in...

Too bad there never seems to be a video camera around when stuff like this goes down.

Even if the Chen guy could defend isolated armbars, could he do it even somewhat consistantly against an...
