Actually the larger part of a typical engagement is in close.
Once the range is closed it's not that easy to break.
I'd say fighters try to gravitate towards their strength. If they are good from long range, they try to win from long range. If they are good on the ground they try to bring it there. Can you WIN from the inside? Then you really just need enough skill to get to there.

However I kinda question how long it actually takes to learn the classical Wing Chun method. Relative to other arts, the forms are incredibly short and not that complicated.
For a MMA approach, I'd say you'd want to be be particularly good at one range but fairly competent at other ranges so you don't have a glaring hole.
Boxing? I don't think so personally but it depends on what sparring method you are talking about. Boxing is better for punching. What about kicking and grappling?Originally Posted by KPM
