    Cross Training Wing Chun

    Would it be a good match up to cross train Wing Chun with


    72 Chin Na techniques and Shuai jiao?


    Would that make WC more of a jack of all trades?
    The Flow is relentless like a raging ocean with crashing waves devasting anything in its path.

    "Kick Like Thunder, Strike Like Lighting, Fist Hard as Stones."

    "Wing Chun flows around overwhelming force and finds openings with its constant flow of forward energy."

    "Always Attack, Be Aggressive always Attack first, Be Relentless. Continue with out ceasing. Flow Like Water, Move like the wind, Attack Like Fire. Consume and overwhelm your Adversary until he is No More"

    no but it would make you a better alround fighter.
    WC is WC and whatever you learn besides that are add ons to your personal skills, not WC

    there are dozens of chin na techniques to choose from. same with shuaijiao.

    you don't really need to learn them all. just choose a few that's in keeping with WC's principle. you may have to modify....

    I have been into Wing Chun for 56 years. I also have black belts in jiujitsu. I can do one or the other, but I do not attempt to mix them into a single fighting system as they have very different principals.

    If you do enough wing chun you can do joint breaks, cavity attacks and throws seamlessly. IMO.

    Unless you train at one of the large number of schools that dogmatically refuses to acknowledge that WC has Chin Na or Shuai Jiao

    After you have integrated locking and throwing skill into your WC on your own body, if you never teach any students, that integrate effort will die with you when you leave this world. If you teach students, that integrate effort will be passed down. Whether your students in the future generation will call your integration effort as a "evolve" style or not, you will not be able to know it.

    If you just teach your students exactly the same as your teacher taught you. You are a good "copy machine", no more and no less. You add nothing into the TCMA world. You pass throught this world and leave no trace. If you add something into your system and pass down, After you have long gone, people will remember you. You have contributate something to the TCMA world. You will be part of the TCMA history.

    I think the movie

    IP Man Three


    is a good movie which battles with the ideology of Wing Chun using throws!
