Wing Chun vs Boxing | Wing Chun does NOT work?

http://www.londonwingchun.co.uk/does-wing-chun-work ► Wing Chun vs Boxing: "Wing Chun DOES not work." Many people assume that if you learn Wing Chun that you will be unable to fight at a long range or cope with basic boxing or kickboxing combinations. Granted that Wing Chun is an exceptional martial art at close quarter fighting, but it can be used effectively over a long range of fighting.

The notion that “Wing Chun does not work” comes from a misunderstanding of the training methodology of Wing Chun. This video explains how Wing Chun can be used effectively over a long distance, while introducing the basic concept of improving footwork mobility.

Surprisingly there are some people outside of the Wing Chun community that have the opinion that Wing Chun does not work a fight. Of course defining a real fight is difficult, as the term can mean different things to different people. This is where the misconceptions about Wing Chun begin.

As in any martial art it is necessary to develop the ability to manage and control distance to the person that is attacking you. This involves the attribute of developing good mobility and footwork.

Our Wing Chun video discusses some simple and techniques in which to improve your mobility at long range. Key points to note, that mobility is not important at close range especially when connected (Bridged) with your attacker. At close range you should focus on good structure and rooting to the ground. In contrast, when you are moving at long range, where there is no contact with the attacker, then you should focus on mobility for distance control.

Wing Chun Myths EXPOSED!!! The Reality of Simultaneous Attack & Defence in a Fight

http://www.londonwingchun.co.uk/reality-simultaneous-attack-and-defence-fight ►Wing Chun Myths Exposed: The Reality of Simultaneous Attack and Defence in a Fight. If you speak to any Wing Chun practitioner they will always explain to you that one of the core concepts within this martial art is to attack and defend simultaneously when attacked in a fight. The idea behind this concept is that you can move more efficiently and therefore defend yourself better if someone throws a big punch.

How does this really work in a fight or in self defence? People tend to throw multiple punches in a barrage to overwhelm you in a street fight. So how does Wing Chun really answer this problem? Well in this video we discuss how to use a well known Wing Chun technique called Taan Sao for simultaneous blocking and attacking.

In the first part of the video we introduce the technique of Taan Da and explain the potential problems in making it work for self defence or in a real fight. The key point to note is that you have to punch hard in order to slow to stop your attacker’s second punch. Only then can you actually fight back with some clear Wing Chun follow ups. However, there is still a risk of your attacker throwing a second punch, especially if they are able to absorb your counter strike.

The second part of the video introduces a safer more reliable approach in which to use this technique. In this part of the video we discuss the safer option of moving to the outside gate of a punch combination and then intercepting to the inside gate with the Taan Da. This is a safer method for self defence because it allows you to control the space and the centre ground.

The third part of the video recaps the basic ideas of how to train this approach in Wing Chun Chi Sao. How it is derived from Chi Sao practice and how it relates to actual fighting. The key point to note is that practising in this method of training allows you the ability to understand how to find a simultaneous attack and defence when your arms are clinched with your attackers.

We have lots more videos on how to fight with Wing Chun. Please visit our channel. Better yet feel free to leave a comment or a suggestion of what you would like us to film for you. It does not have to be about Wing Chun it can be about any subject related to fighting, how to fight, Wing Chun techniques, or even Wing Chun vs other styles of martial arts.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Firstly, Happy New Year! I hope you all had a well rested break and are eager to get back to training.

Since we start back at the Academy this Tuesday, I also wanted to inform you all that we are now running a new daytime class from this Wednesday. The class will run every Wednesday from 11am and is open to all levels. This will be a formal class that will consist of the normal components of our training. However, the last 20 minutes or so you'll be allowed to train what is appropriate for your level, i.e. sparring, chi sau, or lok sau.

While I'm not expecting this class to be well attended, due to the fact that many of you work during the day, it will be an experiment to see if it works. Of course, if no one attends then we will have to cancel the option for this day.

On a separate note, we now have a twitter page http://twitter.com/londonwingchun where I will place some very short updates and notes on training wing chun. If you haven't added me on facebook please do, otherwise our facebook group is http://www.facebook.com/londonwingchunacademy please join.

Look forward to seeing you all soon.

Warm Regards

Mark Phillips Sifu
