But at the expense of Wing Chun fighting strategy. Forgetting about fighting strategy and just trying to work some techniques is what turned most of it into limb chasing. Bit of a detriment.
One can still use Wing Chun fighting strategy without totally wrecking the sparring partner. Cutting off their attacks, taking up space, disrupting their facing and balance... All these things can be done in a controlled manner where the student can clearly see and feel how it works and learn from it. And opportunities can be given to them to work the same tactics. It doesn't have to be all or nothing.If Sifu Brian just opened up and demolished his student what is learned?
LFJ I just edited my last post on page 7 to include you as I got confused with all my replies lol please re look at it.
Cool dreads for sure! And a slick accent lol you joker! Many thanks for your input. You have brought some awesome points to the table. I understand your limb chasing pov a lot better now. Also your point on all or nothing makes sense. So the question is how can you teach me better strategy lol! Seriously apart from what you had typed already.
I do have two clips of me sparring a friend from my previous Sifu. I haven't posted them anywhere. If you would like to see them I could post them. But I'm not that good, and I'm sure everybody will pull them apart with ease. But if people wanna see them I could possibly oblige. It would be good to see more actual sparring from others too. Let's try and pull together as a online wing chun community or at least try to find some ground that we can all agree what wing chun sparring should be. But so far some very good points in this list now I feel.

Sounds like you have some impressive credentials and agreed with all of your post! So what happen to guy b? I'm pretty and wanna stay pretty thanks. I love going hard but not at the expense of my teeth (Im British, there bad enough as it is!) all for the fact that I may get attacked at some random point in my life. I'm am not the worlds greatest fighter and you have done some serious stuff I would only dream of. Full respect!!!!
Sure you can. But of course badly bleeding people stop fighting in bare handed sparring.
This is because you reacted like a girl to the idea of a chipped tooth. Chipped teeth occur in all grappling sports and bare handed sparring. Knocked out teeth occur far more frequently in gloved sparring. There is nothing to stop you wearing a gum shiled in bare handed sparring. I think you spent way too much on your dentistry.But you said above you regard broken teeth as inconsequential and cheap to fix. Or something very similar. So why bother?

He trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle !
More about broken teeth and those knocked out. Chipped teeth are fairly uncommon when mouthguards are worn. In my experience ... YMMV, especially as you claim far more experience than anyone else with full contact bare knuckle head shots. (Experience I daresay many may feel they could do without)This is because you reacted like a girl to the idea of a chipped tooth.
i would agree that girls usually aren't fans of damaged teeth either. You aren't exactly the Sea of Tranquillity when people criticise your favourite Youtube clip, BTW.
Chipped teeth could occur in gloved sparring as well (I point this out because you claim to never do any, and thus might not be aware).Chipped teeth occur in all grappling sports and bare handed sparring. Knocked out teeth occur far more frequently in gloved sparring.
Presumably you have statistics to back that last statement up, since some readers seem sceptical of your claims of this nature.
I advocated that above. I've always worn one, gloves or no, and in jiu jitsu as well. Many coaches in my experience won't allow you to roll or spar without one.There is nothing to stop you wearing a gum shiled in bare handed sparring.
Opinion noted. Perhaps you can give me a detailed breakdown of what you think I should have done based on your deep knowledge of dental procedures, their associated costs, the various alternative strategies I could have used and their associated tradeoffs. Presumably you are a dentist, work in an associated industry, or for a firm providing dental insurance, or have had substantial dental issues yourself (but of course not from full contact bareknuckle blows to the face) to be able to come to such an informed conclusion.I think you spent way too much on your dentistry.
My financial decisions are peripheral to this fascinating argument in any case. Unless you are trying to imply my judgements there reflect my overall ability to think critically or something. Surely you would not be so cruel.
