Every system of wing chun teaches and preaches this, and every system practices this (from my understanding) to crowd the space of your opponet. However, since we all know this, do we really know it though, and do we really practice it.


A lot can be said the in minor details of combat, it can be a game of inches, it can be a game of seconds, it can be a game of weight, so on and so forth.

Its like I know a lot about the wing chun system. I get told stuff on a daily basis when training. I know the answers, but sometimes even though I know the answer, I don't really know it.

I see a lot of chi sao videos of people staying within trapping range of their opponet, striking a lot at close distances. Which is not a bad thing, but is it really crowding the space? Are you not also allowing time and space for your opponet to do the same to you. If you took all of your opponets space out of the equation wouldn't they have harder time to react or act upon what you were doing?

Just some crazy ideas.
