A guy who trains in wing chun, told me he's dropped so many boxers using it.

I used to know some Wing Chun techniques. It's good for inside fighting but it's not good for generating power and you can't use it in boxing. It's more useful for life and death street combat. Attacking vital organs, attacking the center line or center of gravity, speed, infighting, etc.

But it doesn't have any technique that I'm aware of which would neutralize the jab. I suppose a kick could neutralize a jab if you're fast enough, but if we are talking an MMA fight or a fight under boxing rules Wing Chun doesn't stand a chance. Bruce Lee even preferred boxing techniques, read about Jeet Kune Do and it's very similar to counter punching if you're thinking about it as boxing but not very similar to Wing Chun. Bruce Lee would say something like attack the nearest target in the most direct way.

 

What techniques did he show you that are effective against boxers?

 

In most cases full contact combat sports are more effective than supposed "lethal" martial arts who works on paper but not in reality. I have trained Wing Chun a little, and I have also trained a little boxing. My money would be on the boxer, no doubt.

 

Boxing is lethal but, not the best all round. One weakness is against low kicks.

I did Wing Chun for a number of years getting to a decent level, I've also briefly flirted with Jujitsu, Judo and very fleetingly with Karate.

At the end of the day, there are so many factors to take into account. Would I fancy myself against a boxer in a ring (similar size and athletesism) with similar experience in their discipline, not really, it's difficult to negate speed of a boxer with the space they have to work.

In a crowded bar, then I would fancy my chances. I think boxers and martial arts (like Wing Chun etc) are limited full stop, hence those with boxing, jujitsu, wrestling knowledge tend to top MMA.

Sore loser.

 

Every fight I've seen between a boxer and a martial art fighter ended up with the kungfu guy knocked out.All those flying moves they do only happen in kungfu movies not on the street.

 

I don't think he's lying. Did he mention whether he fought boxers inside of a boxing ring or in backyards?

They shine mid-range with their unusual rapid punching that overwhelms people who don't know how to deal with it. Boxers primarily train for other boxers. In boxing, punches are extended much further with more body behind it unlike wing chun. With how wing chun guys punch they have less recoil time between punches than boxers.

I'm guessing you guys got into a boxing ring to have sparred or fought?

Wing Chun guys have very static heads and rely heavily on parrying for defense.

I'm glad to hear that your head movement and inside fighting worked successfully. This isn't stuff they see often and consequently have less experience dealing with. The element of surprise must have caught him off guard.

I found that str8 punches down the pipe at their body work well due to their stance. I didn't felt too comfortable immediately going for str8 shots upstairs with them due to how they stick their hands out in their stance and create so much distance because of it. Feints can work well since wing chun guys are parry happy. Pivoting is a must since they are very good head on.

 

Wing Chun is the David Haye of martial arts: practicioners claim they have god-like skills and can do almost anything - but you never get to see that in a real fight. The Wing Chun style of chain striking is inferior to boxing, imo.
