    Wing chun in Vale Tudo Japan

    Hey guys!

    Here is a clip of wing chun vs Brazillian jujitsu

    Rickson-Levicki

    Navin-Pointless IMO

    I have seen it before. Levicki didnt do any wing chun in that clip and he didnt learn much wing chun any way. Looked like a big stiff muscle boy.
    On the other side is the great Rickson! No wonder it was simple.

    WOW!! Does that Leviki fellow even know how to fight? The only thing he seemed good at was getting pounded.

    Great WCK..

    I loved the wait--wait--wait... Even when the guy was in range he didn't let his hands go... Might as well just go home..

    I loved the pak--pak--pak, minus the da--da--da.... (how many times can the opponent do the same move in a row before you have him timed?)

    I loved the static lead leg that just wouldn't move no matter what..

    I can't believe Gracie didn't go for the single leg.. (that wouldn't move)

    But at the same time if you pay close attention I think he starled/suprise gracie when he sort of stick to his arms. it's just before gracie rushes in for the first take down.
    Wrestlers learn a fair bit about gaining and keeping control of the arms and related sensitivity so I'm sure he would have experienced similar stuff at some time. I think this is wishful thinking. It's not like it made any difference to the outcome.

    I don't think gracie was familar with that kind of movement so he automatically rushed in to take him down, probably because he didn't feel comfortable.
    That's a standard game plan for Rickson. I don't think he changed his tactics one bit. And I strongly doubt he felt particularly uncomfortable, though I'll bet Levicki did. You're drawing a long bow here.

    Props to Levicki for getting in that ring.
