    No, guys who try to make a 1:1 with chi sao drills will make this mistake.
    We fight to strike, turn, flank, not allow face to face. Nor do we block while standing in front of guys rushing in punching to take downs.
    There is a high degree of mobilty and angling many aren't
    aware of so they think to use two arms out and perpetuate
    Clinching.

    I'd say though WC fights closer in than say Karate etc. it can move into clinch fighting however as my sifu always said the more you grab the less you hit. Therefore why would one really "clinch" other than to control by holding which makes handles and what not though there are some clinch like movements in the system such as the grabbing of the back of the head and punching if there is resistance a good WC guy will disengage and go to another attack accordingly?

    So I would say no???

    It is clinch RANGE fighting.

    Or more accurately, it is best applied at clinch range...

    I said that it is partially clinch fighting. To say that it is strictly clinch fighting is just dumb. If you look through my posts you will see about 1/2 them telling T_niehoff that he is a moron for suggesting that wing chun is nothing but clinch fighting.

    You also said, your style of WC is particularly focused on clinch fighting, but you never explained what style that was? Which particular style of WC were you talking about?

    No I didn't say that. I said that it is a part of the training. I said that Robert Chu's stuff was pretty strictly clinch fighting. That's absolutely true. They call it attached fighting.
