Now we are getting into some interest discussion.
I don't believe there is a such thing as "anti-grappling". I do believe "grappling against grappling".
I agree that "Box a grappler, Grapple a boxer" is good strategy. It only works if a boxer can keep a grappler outside of the clinching range, and a grappler can get into clinching without been hit. The moment that clinching is created, the boxer will be in his dis-advantage. The example that I gave was "clinching has been created".

False dichotomy and poor attempt at a put down. You disappoint me.Now I can honestly say that what I learned from the Yip Man line was not all that different from the Yuan family line, so, if this isn't something that you learned, either you teacher did not know it or you hadn't gotten that far in your training.
Option three, your opinion of the quality of what you learned and its applicability against skilled grapplers differs from mine.
How did it work in grappling tournaments? Say again? Or MMA perhaps? Any competitive situation?
Opinions vary regarding the seamlessness. In some area the principles of WC and grappling are compatible, in others definitely not. IMHO, humility being a rare commodity hereIndividuals like Andreas Hoffman, though studying BJJ, have been able to seamlessly blend their WC with grappling. This would not be possible if the two were not compatible.
If there is such a thing, the people best at it are other grapplers. Familiarity with what they're up against and all that.I don't believe there is a such thing as "anti-grappling".

If Wing Chun doesn't work for you, then it's YOUR Wing Chun that isn't working. Not the art as a whole. Eveyone's art is a bit different based on body type, personality, etc. But as long as you adhere to the basic principles, it's all good. I also practice Bagua and Xingyi and incorporate those things into my Wing Chun. And of course people will say "That's not Wing Chun". I say fine. I am hereby naming my martial art Hulkout Gung Fu if that will make everyone happy. But whatever you want to call it, it's my Wing Chun and it works. I practice regularly against boxers and Muay Thai fighters. I'm not perfect. I do get hit but I get them too. It does work and if I get hit, the last thing I'll do is blame the art. It's me. How egotistical do you have to be to blame the art and when it's you who's fighting? So you are the perfect physical specimen? Seriously, give me a break! How many good boxers are there? How many bad boxers are there? Do you ever hear any of them blaming the art?
You commented that my WC must have been deficient if I didn't agree it contained good grappling, though you'd never seen it. guess you need to answer that for yourself.but honestly how can you comment on the quality of the WC I learned when you've never seen it.
