The New Wing Chun!

[mun hung]

If you had to create the art of Wing Chun all over again, what would you include and exclude this time around? Would you create another form with things that are currently not in the current ones? Would you add grappling, boxing or whatever? How about more weapons?

[Chadderz]

It would depend entirely on what principles you choose to repeat.


Me personally, I would let it die. xD

Please don't rush on my account.

If I had to create a new combat system (an unlikely scenario requiring extraordinary hubris), I'd look at everything that was around, not just one system, and try to distil it into something simple and effective.

Which is allegedly what the five escapees from the burning of the Shaolin Temple did to create WC.

It is currently perfect, only the human factor lets it down. Oh guns more guns

You ever heard of Bruce Lee? Read his TAO of JKD. The issues you guys seem to debate have been answered a very long time ago. JKD is just a name for "fighting", it is not a specific style. Doesnt matter what style it came from, if you can use it, then train it. Nothing else matters. Train to fight, not to perfect forms.

Actually Bruce just popularized it but people been doing this long before him. For instance, in Mande Muda silat, my first style, late Pak Herman's dad combined many styles of Silat to come up with a more complete style to cover from standup striking to wrestling to ground fighting.

The theory of Wing Chun works flawlessly, if, you can implement it without any errors. But the theory is only a theory and it does not mean anything if you can not make it work. During battle your system may be the best theory, but if your skill level is below the level of skill of your opponent, you simply lose. No theory of the world will not save you from defeat. " WSL

What does that have to do with Wing Chun? I'm not familiar with Silat so i cant comment there.

Combining styles to create another style and forms has been around for yonks, but JKD is not a style nor does it promote practicing forms.

Good luck at airport security, and in jail.

At some point in time before I found my current preferences in martial arts, I studied JKD Concepts (Inosanto's way) for 4 years. Looking back, I could say if you consider forms as a method of solo practice to ingrain moves and principles then practicing forms was encouraged. We did practice a bunch of short sequences in a wooden dummy.

My bad, sorry .
Silat is a generic name for martial arts practiced in Indonesia, Southern Philippines, Malaysia and some parts of Thailand I believe. Just refer to our good friend Mr. Youtube .

Didn't we already have an system like that ... I think it's called Wing Chun or something like that.

As for weapons, you forgotten to include hookers. You're wondering why the hell would you include hookers ... why my dear, to do your fighting for you.
