Its not wise to charge in from outside the gate with elbows. You leave your self vunerable because the elbow is a short range weapon...The wing chun punch is longer...So charging in will take you a moment to get close enough to land one...especially if im agile an non-committed. In WC i learn you are relentless and aggressive but you dont fully committ to the point where you open or able to be controlled. Come in with elbows if you want to..i will simply deflect or redirect while flanking you an kicking your knees out from under you simultaneously...
