"I'm going to be honest, I have some experience in Wing Chun though not taught in the traditional manner, and my conclusion has been that Wing Chun punches don't work terribly well at least not as taught.

They tend to have very little support from the shoulders, hips, and feet which are key for generating power. Most Wing Chun punches are taught as being driven from and by the elbow. I actually wonder just how long the common method of Wing Chun punching has been taught within the art.

It's just not a great method of punching. I like the art, and think it has things to offer but I would ditch its method of punching altogether."

"I'm a chinese and have been learning wing Chun for years. The technique is absolutely useless in combat sport and I suggest you to stay away from it if you want to learn real combat sports

Wing Chun has no striking power and punching techniques, it does not make sense, the moves will not work in real combat."

WING CHUN IS WEIRD

"Not bad, just weird.

Wing Chun is demonstrated all around as a style centered on centerline control, but even the Wing Chun masters are not really able to 'control' their partner's moments through their chi sau and it ends up looking like a slug fest where everyone is trading slaps with each other.

Wing Chun is claimed also to be a 'direct', efficient style without frills or excess movements. But Pak Mei kungfu is more efficient, and styles which are 'excessive' turn out to be quite efficient in application, such as Hung Gar.

Is it just me, or has everyone misunderstood the true nature of Wing Chun?"

"I love the concept of Wing Chun. Any videos of it working (and not looking like sloppy kickboxing) in the streets or cage?"

"I remember watching a podcast with a wing chun guy who decided to start doing a lot of sparring. I remember him saying it took a while to adapt it and part of the problem was when he started sparring a lot, his attempt to modernize it really just turned into him learning kickboxing instead. Can't remember his name but I remember his sparring didn't look too good, though it was a lot better than most of the traditional martial arts v kickboxing videos you see."

Exposing the Flaws: Smart Research Unveils Mainstream Wing Chun Missteps

-
Smart Research has been uncovering the shortcomings and errors within mainstream Wing Chun, yet many practitioners are hesitant to acknowledge the deficiencies in their techniques and biomechanics. To illustrate these issues, let's conduct an experiment using the inner Pak Da exercise: YouTube video: Inner Pak Da 1) Find an untrained individual or someone unfamiliar with mainstream Wing Chun. Ask them to simply let you roll their arms without actively blocking your attacks or creating openings. Do not instruct them on how to roll; allow them to move naturally (or not at all). 2) Attempt to execute your inner Pak Da technique when opportunities arise. Repeat this experiment several times. Consider the following: 1) Were you able to effectively Pak and punch your partner most of the time, despite their lack of resistance? 2) Did you notice any clumsiness or jammed movements in your own arms while attempting your techniques? If you struggled to smoothly execute this combination techni...

About Ancient Martial Arts

-
When should you leave a school? When you hear lots of unnecessary discussions about sinking Kua (hip), head lifted by a string, elbow energy, elbows inward, spiral energy (Taichi), and so on. Ancient martial arts are automatic and natural, and you don't have to deliberately pay attention to certain things. Don't overthink and don't get impressed by terminologies. Express ancient martial arts as you would express your body during an untrained and natural brawl. Why? Because ancient martial arts are mostly based on the combative experiences of ancient people, and they packed the entire fighting sequences into the forms already like a zip file. All you have to do is to use them and don't overthink. Visit www.skilloneness.com  to register for our Wing Chun course to fix your errors which have been plaguing mainstream Wing Chun.

Why Ancient Martial Arts Can’t Be Trained Like Modern Combat Sports – A Proven Analysis from an Expert

-
In martial arts, misconceptions about training methods are everywhere, even among seasoned practitioners. As an experienced martial artist and instructor, I want to clarify some of the most critical errors people make when training traditional techniques. This post isn’t just about tips; it’s a demonstration of the depth of my expertise—an understanding that most martial artists don’t have. To dive deeper into authentic training methods, check out my online Wing Chun course at [www.skilloneness.com](http://www.skilloneness.com). 1. Misconceptions Around Training Ancient Techniques on Punching Bags Many traditional martial artists don’t realize that practicing ancient strikes on a punching bag is fundamentally flawed. These techniques are designed to be executed against targets that are firmly grounded on the floor, simulating the reality of human contact and direct force application. When the target is free to move or sway backward, like a punching bag, it disrupts the strike’s purpose...
