I would rather neutralize an opponent than break my fists on their face.

 UFC  isnt real life fighting.  The two are vastly different, for a large
number of reasons.

 Grappling is a good thing to have under your belt.. but it certainly does
not guarantee you will walk away from a situation living!  Especially
if more than one attacker is involved.   A standing art Can, if you are
skilled enough.

 Also, grappler has to get past 2 ranges to be successful.  Kick range,
and punch range.  And the tools and tricks they use to do this are
weak, and extremely dangerous.

 Not so easy when you fight someone who isnt a wobbling clown,
or limited to which places you can strike.. as well as wearing gloves...etc.

 As said, Ive managed to Knock out 3 skilled grapplers so far.. when
they tried to enter.  I was being nice, and didnt use stomp kicks either...

 Intelligent interception is much safer and better means of combat.

 You intercept FIRST, THEN you Grapple if needed.  In case you didnt
realize, plenty of kungfu styles have grappling within them.


 Also, if you are in an art for protection... you had better have conditioned
arms and fists.  All it will take is one clash, and you will be done from the
searing bone pains, and deep tissue damages.

 I may respond to Basher later.  But in order to do so, it will be painful,
cause he has so much that he needs to learn.  Hes completely
brainwashed, like most people today.
   

CCM:
I'll kick in $5 a piece as well.

Can't Chad's kids get some exercise, maybe toughen up a little, and have some fun?

Yikes, write this down.

(I agree with PBJ)

Hoopz:
I agree about getting the two together.  I'll chip in some too.

I'll make the book too.  Odds are 5-4 for Chadwick.

Don't get cocky though Chadwick.  You're only the favorite now until we find out that you had a flock o' seagulls hair cut also.   ;D

Uh oh....


I guess I'm "Basher"... I'm giddy with anticipation of all the ripe, outrageous, unprovable evidence of the awesomeness that is the chun that will be forthcoming; Can't wait for my education.

Look, go back and re-read my original post.  I didn't call out WC by name, but if you read the very next post it is the chunner defending the chun... I find that very telling.

I also have previously stated that ALL MA'S can be beneficial and that any style with a good instructor can be great for kids (though I personally recommend a striking art for a first art for a child).


I only escalated this after the chunner came along and made outrageous claims about WC.   They always make the same excuses as to why there aren't any professional fighters with a WC background:
1) Wing Chun is too deadly for competition
2) MMA is not realistic; we only train for real life
3) WC practitioners are morally/spiritually "above" prize fighting

It's all BS and if you can't see that, I don't know what to say.


All martial arts have benefits = TRUE
All martial arts will make you a good fighter = FALSE

See what I did there?

Why do you think Bruce Lee discarded most of his WC in favor of cross training multiple MA's?  Have you read his book "The Tao of Jeet Kune Do"?  I have several times.  He basically says the same things I'm saying.  Funny that Xiaou either doesn't recognize, or doesn't realize that Bruce Lee abandoned most of his WC training and basically was the first big name to promote the idea of MMA yet he so readily disses it.
