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

That's the reserved Japanese fight fan for you!

I guess they all fart before they take their seats for the fight! :fart

 

Aplogies. As punishment, I shall force myself to laugh at every one of Thaksin's stupid jokes and stunts when he gets back into power.

That's what I lov..er, like, about this site; I learn things:-((

 

Give JDS an ESB account for 3 months and everyone of his threads would be more relevant to an MMA sub forum than this one :deal

 

Your punishment is way too much for any reasonable human being to possibly endure!

Just the sight of Toxin's grinning square face is enough to send me into a week long wild tourette's like fit and that's before he even opens his mouth to speak!ukke

 

^ :twisted: Those stupid Good Question Bad Question Paddles of his jumped the shark (on my opinion of him)

The gift that keeps on giving.

 

Quality post. :good

 

It depends on what level the boxer is on and on what level the wing chun dude is on

 

I remeber that insanity!:rofl And the insanity of his ilk......:scaredas:

(Sorry for being off topic guys.)

 

I'm 100% sure he's not talking about good/experience boxers. Maybe he's talking about guys that he knows only took a boxercise class or is just calling any guy that throws a punch in a fight a "boxer", but whatever you do don't start buying the "wing chun is brilliant and deadly" crap. So much of what WC tries to do is about getting your hands on guys and trapping while punching and them just standing there and taking it which is why it looks badass in the demos. In real life though, guys don't throw punches like John Wayne and leave their arms there to be trapped and ****ed with (aikido has the same issue with practice vs real life) and WC guys end up reaching for **** that isn't there and being horribly open for punches. Feints and a few jabs will totally put them in do-nothing defensive mode.

That said, there are kung fu guys that are good fighters, as anything will work at a certain level if you actually train realistically against guys who are trying their best to hit you who you are trying your best to hit. No matter what "art" you're doing, if you don't do that then you'll lose to someone who does (assuming size/athleticism is equal etc).

If WC stuff worked so well against boxers then boxers would use it and make a mint and if it's supposedly just eye pokes and **** that works so well then anyone can do that so don't waste your time paying to be taught.

 

Agrees, a soft MA atsch

A good kicker from TKD or Thai boxing could keep a wing chun fighter at arms length and beat themn.


Depends how good the fighter is at his chosen technique though in reality.
