"Wing Chun Problems" Are Not Unique To Wing Chun
Why do WC fighters think there style is the best?
This is hardly a problem unique to Wing Chun.......ANYONE caught in dualistic (us/them, good/bad, right/wrong, black/white) and surface level thinking will be caught in this trap.
Why is it that WC fighters have the biggest ego's?
The "fighters" with the biggest egos, are usually the ones who have never fought before. (Their record doesn't have any losses on it, so they're "undefeated", right?)
Why do WC fighters feel that chain punch's cant be stopped?
That will be a Wing Chun person's experience, but ONLY if they never test it against a skilled & resisting opponent.
Why do WC fighters use Bruce Lee name in regards to their own skill?
Wing Chun people aren't the only ones playing that game. There is even a Mantis master (I can't remember his name, but I think he might be out of New York) that on his website claims he taught Bruce the Mantis style, and that Mantis is what JKD is REALLY based on........
Why do Wing Chun fighters think that there is nothing better then WC for the street?
It seems that every kwoon or dojo that "trains for the street" imagines that there is nothing more "realistic" than what they do.
Why is every WC fighter I have ever meet is full of them self, is it part of the system? Do you train to be 'tough guys"?
I think the system is good, except the people who study it come off as "look at me, I study WC, I'm so bad ass", when they are not!

I don't think Wing Chun is so limited that I can't do it when I wrestle, box, kickbox, or fight by MMA rules, nor am I so limited a student that I can't improve by training in each of those forums. -Andrew S
A good instructor encourages his students to question things, think for themselves and determine their own solutions to problems. They give advice, rather than acting as a vehicle for the transmission of dogma.
