I believe you and I are in complete agreement here, m1k3. While I have great respect and enthusiasm for the wing chun close quarter infight striking game, I also recognize that certain boxing styles,...
I say yes, chase space, (the most important space) occupy and control it, then chase the body...unless you can do both all at the same time - which is even better.
For example, he gives you an...
I love pak and lop, Joy, and use them all the time. But what I'm saying is that these are just some tools to use in a game that requires many tools.
I'm with you when you say this, James...

"If there is no contact you just hit...If your sitting there waiting for your opponent to hit you...why are you still and not engaging in combat, why are you not taking his space and playing your...
If I use longer range boxing moves, punches, footwork, etc. right from the starting gate (ie.- long range) - then I have a better chance of getting to the shorter wing chun ranges safely...

If give this another try, but I suspect that no matter what, it's going to fall on deaf ears.
In the following vid, which lasts for 2:40 - pay particular attention to the first 1:10 of it. It was...
1. "sorry if you have covered this in a previous post, but can you tell me as to why Wing Chun has no long range game. I read that you said it does not, but why? I know the typical WC strategy is to...
"What I really find interesting is the argument of how wing chun will look in a fight. The problem is that it isn't just your choice alone, your opponent has something to say about that. Fighting,...
The human body and mind is not hardwired to do a rear cross, a kimura, a low single leg, a judo throw, an armbar, a cross side control holdown, a duck under his hook and come back with a hook of your...
Humm....
"Ponder that while you do your SNT"...and..."WCK is my primary art".
So good Wing Chun = no SNT/SLT...
Humm...
DON'T FEED THE TROLLS !!! :eek: :eek: :eek:
"You are not responding to what people say.
Every time you completely derail the conversation and bring up this topic, then continue to have a conversation/argument with yourself...who the hell...
"I think sanjuro brought up a great point and it is the answer to a lot of the statements by knifefighter and niehoff who say 'this is how WC will look when in a real situation' when referring to...

...on how to mix some longer range boxing with some shorter range wing chun. This guy has some pretty good moves, and a pretty good awareness of distance/range issues. Pick up the action at 0:50 -...
"Do you have any other bridging strategies to close the gap? I have seen some other TWC vids that show a pak/biu type response to a lead attack, as well as using a bong/laap or kwan sau type of...
As I believe you are not trolling, but asking an honest question, JP...I'll give an answer to the TWC approach to long range - from my perspective.

My God, Andrew...every word of that post was spot on. I applaud you! :cool: ;)
Couldn't agree more! (Well, forget the phonebooth ;))
