Why Wing Chun For Self-Defense

Спорт

Obviously we think Wing Chun is not only a logical system of self-defense, but the one that gives you the best "bang for your buck" so to speak. Real violence isn't a competition. Obviously, it's not a sport where there are not only rules, but safe footing and all that. Wing Chun takes this into account like no other fighting method. Also, by virtue of its systematic structure, Wing Chun doesn't assume there's only one opponent or that he's unarmed either. A real self-defense method absolutely must take care on these issues lest it prepare us for catastrophe.
Learn how Wing Chun does this as well as provide a productive but safe training program so that you stay healthy and are prepared for the real thing. If you want to box...then box. If you want to do MMA, do MMA. There are no shortcuts in life. But if you're looking for a logically consistent self-defense system, Wing Chun is the way to go.

    The thing that stands out in this video's ChiSao segments is that the partner is not resisting... The other is that any technique in standard ChiSao should be done because there is a specific condition that exists in the opponent's "defense" meaning his position/energy or his structure. The opponent's action or inaction dictates what we do, what technique happens. If you just do a technique because you feel like it then it's not really consistent with the core idea of the training and probably won't yield the best training results.

    One perspective is: In combat, morality is idealism. Next, in my view, martial arts have ranges, and avoiding conflict should be part of one's long-range tools. Win by not even being there. Next, everyone has an opinion, here's mine. For this martial arts approach, meaning close in combat. I prefer Southern Mantis over Wing Chun. Literally because it is over (comes from above) the more mid-level sticky-hands "rabbit action" of Wing Chun. In my way, Southern Mantis tends to attack from higher and roll over the top of, and drive down Wing Chun actions. And, I find that Southern Mantis is quicker to get right to the very serious vital parts of the opponent; neck and head. Which can be a bad thing legally. The way I see it is, that Wing Chun expends energy and takes more time and gives the bad guy's buddy more time to get you from behind. Compared to Southern Mantis. Playing footsie is just that much more time that a person is exposed to risk. So, I feel that S. Mantis fits me best. Don't get me wrong, S. Mantis has a sticky hands fundamental to it as well. It's just the level that the attacks come from, the way they drive opposition downward and how directly every action gets to a vital area on the opponent. By the way, I am tall.

    Hello Sifo. I have a question . In your opinion, for self-defense in the street or street fighting in the Jeet Kune do method, it is necessary to do sparring in training to have collisions? So that we can bear it if we are hit once. Brucelee also said that the fight is not won with one punch and kick, either learn to tolerate or hire a bodyguard

    Great question. I'd say that, yes, sparring is really essential for people in order to overcome fear and gain timing and distance. There are workarounds if you don't have a good school/gym to train in but I'd say a good sparring program is critical for optimal performance. That said, I think we should do a video on this subject. Like I said, great question.

The problem with that is obvious: why do chi-sao or anything else then, right? There’s also the case of instructors not wanting to get hit and all that too. In all, I agree with one of the other comments that a school without a sparring program is really short-changing the students and leaving them vulnerable to wishful thinking.

    No disrespect to anyone. It would be good to make students aware of this. All Martial Arts are for maiming or killing to protect yourself by empty hands, knifes, and weapons, if used incorrectly could end you in prison for long term. A Self Defence method is for using minimum force to escape the situation within the LAW where you live.

    Hope you don't mind me offering some things to think about. Imho, in choosing a martial art your energetic nature matters; are you hyperactive or are you very laid back? Your personality likes and dislikes should match the type of art that you would harmonize with. And, your body type should favor the type of martial art that would work best for you. Also, keep in mind that while it's flashy, kicking takes a lot of energy in a fight. In the street, rolling around on the ground leaves you wide open if the bad guy has buddies. Any martial art will work if you are very good in it and your opponent is an untrained drunk guy.

    It dependes on the individual person and the purpose. There is shit Wing Chun and there is good Wing Chun. After 10 years of practicing i can say that Wing Chun is great for self defense as well as for overall self improvement. But to be honest it took me several years to really understand every concept (for personal reasons like lack of time aso. And because my Sifu wasn't that experienced in teaching when he started. But both of us became better in what we did (learning-teaching-learning over the years). My personal recommendation: If you want fast results and succes in tournament fighting for some years go to Muay Thai. (I love Muay Thai) If you looking for something to have some serious self defense skills go to Wing Chun. It might take a little longer but it will improve your whole life and you can train it until you are becoming and old man/woman

    I was also genuinely confused. I used to train in WC about 25 years ago in the uk, when it, along with muay thai and eskrima were generally considered S tier for self defence. Sadly, mma then got big, and suddenly everyone judges a martial art by whether it works in the cage, and I was genuinely shocked to see how many mma fans just flat-out dismiss wing chun, even though quite a few high level mma fighters use wing chun either as a training tool or in the cage itself. Basically, don't believe them. Wing chun works, you just have to find a good teacher who understands it and teaches it practically. Remember: a martial art is defined by its principles, not its moves, and wing chun principles are some of the best out there if you can apply them in an adaptive and explosive manner.

    And here's the usual mma fanboy who's convinced that cage fighting is how a genuine life-threatening fight would go down. Sure, wing chun might not work in a cage on It's own, but then, no system does. That's why mma is called mma. But it works in terms of self defence, particularly in the sort of self defence scenarios people commonly find themselves in, ie sudden violence by a stranger and probably their mates in a crowded or confined space, such as a pub, where you want to get all of them away from you asap until help arrives or you can leg it. If you end up on the ground, no amount of bjj is going to stop you from getting your head kicked in, and muay thai as it's currently taught won't be much help when most of your moves don't work in tight spaces.

    OK - I want to tell you from my point of view - but not to be critical - but to the normal person your delivery doesn't make sense, you failed to define the difference between SELF-DEFENSE and COMBAT or Martial Arts as a sport --- The why then becomes very unclear --- Wing Chun, was designed by a female in China even though she was already a Kung-Foo master, so why? China has some very confined spaces making the kung foo technique unable to defend ones self in the small spaces or confined areas, everything in Wing-Chun is designed to defend oneself inside very confined areas and deliver the best results, take that to the next level and you have - "How can I deliver the most pain in the shortest amount of time without injuring my opponent" There is no fight that should last more then 3 to 10 seconds regardless of the opponent or adversary ---

    Thanks for the input although I disagree with your critique. By defining self-defense as the art and science of keeping oneself as safe as possible in the event of UNAVOIDABLE violence, I differentiated at the foundation level between sport combat and self-defense. I’ve elaborated on the particulars of that, and how sport and self-defense diverge, in other videos. In this one, I stated the logical nature of self-defense and that’s the key to the whole thing. It (self-defense) is unavoidable. Sport combat isn’t. And since it’s unavoidable there are logical implications to be considered that Wing Chun addresses and sporting approaches don’t. I appreciate your input but kindly ask you to return to the beginning where I address that concern. I will concede, however, that the “normal person,” as you define him, has the well of reason poisoned by too much sporting combat and choreographed movie violence. If such a viewer thinks soberly about the ramifications of self-defense being unavoidable and, therefore, unpredictable, the distinctions are abundantly clear. That’s my intent. As always, sound thinking requires logical definitions from the get-go. Thanks for watching.

    No harm in elaborating. Go ahead on that! I cut our Sensie here a lot of slack because, is he an economist or a financial person? However, I'm not ashamed to rant on the subject, lol. About our "money". In modern times we are operating in a system where everything is just electronic entries; a fiat currency. None of this is actual money, with a fixed value tied to it. So, the amount owed and the amount created are really just expansions of number values in a spreadsheet. And, this continues because nobody ever has to pay the amounts that are owed, off. Instead more money is simply created into existence via computer keyboards. Fun fact: Yes, this is true. Banks and even businesses and governments around the world can create money out of thin air! (Of course, Uncle Sam does this too, big time.) Here's a simple example. Bank A has an account with a liability on one side and an asset column on the other side of the T format. Bank B has the same. Bank A and Bank B are buddies in this example. Bank A creates a liability for itself, by loaning Bank B a million dollars. Now Bank B has an asset for one million dollars. Also, Bank B creates a liability for itself by loaning Bank A one million dollars, which is now Bank A's asset. Voila' these two banks just created money by wishing it into existence. Next, each bank puts their new assets to work by loaning it out to other businesses, to do what they do. And, they charge interest on that action. That interest is also newly created money, into the total tally of dollars in the world. And, so on and so on. I don't think space here allows me to describe all the ways that the governments wish new money into existence. But, the bottom line is. They will never literally pay off all the debts. But, I'll tell you this. One way the debts are sort of paid on, is that value is stealth-fully taken from workers and moved into the fiat money system, via inflation. This might not be understood, but it's why a house in the 1960's might have only cost $10K, where today that same house would cost $125.K. Or, a nickle for an ice cream cone and today it's $4. dollars. These price changes were manifested by the value coming out of (stolen out of) the value tied into that currency.

Even police offers that have did they just couldn’t use it on the job with violent people. It just wasn’t practical. Even in WC there is a dispute as some systems use snapping/geng power like Adam ChN whilst others say they get the power from the floor which is more internal and then there is shin the group teaching it as an Internal art more so than any other wc group. Jason’s stuff is great and if he was local I’m sure I’d train with him in WC and boxing. But I’m still a little unsure if practical if I’m honest. On a physical and on most levels for self defence I’d recommend to a family member Combatives as I have no doubt this would keep them safe.
