"While I think that it is important for people to know something about grappling I doubt if most people can get away from a good grappler's takedown. If you study wrestlers you can see that even when...
Great post(s) Andrew.
I assumed the debate was lines vs. curved motions, but I like the idea of spirals or helix structures underlying the structures. Lots of parallels in various disciplines -...
An easy answer would be (generally) equal weight distribution (form work, as general rule in sparring and drilling).
The more specific answer would be that weight is in a constant state of dynamic...
I must have struck a nerve...
My support for the video is based on 1) good work ethic, 2) the application of Wing Chun within a functional framework and 3) an honest expression by a martial...
I'm not sure how Marx or Kant are any relevance here. This is neither a discussion on the Communist Manifesto nor Metaphysical logic. If you are to cite philosophers, at least Popper and Kuhn applied...
Irony that someone posts some decent bag work and no one comments, yet their are discussions about weight distribution of legs, straight Vs. circle, and of course the usual stuff pertaining to...
*i misspelled theoreticians.
The problem is that discussions are a huge hindrance to a persons development in Wing Chun. There is so much misinformation that is spread by people who hold...
The irony is that the Wing Chun fraternity is a group of non-fighters, led by an ancestry of theoretians. The debate centers around theory and how it can be practically applied in a live, dynamic...
Practice against a reasonably skilled Chi Sao player, spar and do clinch work and it becomes self evident whether Wing Chun is linear, circular, or a myriad of all types of motions.

I watched the first part of the video. It was inadequate clinch work or more rather, clinch in theory only. Someone with reasonable Greco-roman wrestling, Muay Thai or MMA will provide an effective...
Expertise tends only to exist within the parameters of ones own domain. When an expert comes across seeming randomized stimuli, they respond in the same ways a novice would, (because they lack the...
Nice work.
I can see how this type of practice and tempo could be useful.

I have come across lines of Wing Chun that derive from the Red Junks which retain a different flavour from Hong Kong based lines of...
Fighting has taught me to use knee strikes.
I'm a Wing Chun man.
Who cares whether the system has knee strikes. The starting premise for any investigation is whether you are fighters, or not....
Hulkout - agree 100%
Those who think they can use "pure" Wing Chun principles tend to be academics more than fighters. Same with those who push you into describing what the meaning of forward...

Irrespective of background arts (e.g. Wing Chun) people quickly adopt a skill-set during sparring which looks less like the art and more like you would expect from a non-traditional fighter.

That brudda needs to go for a jog.
His Wing Chun looked good though.
