"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."

This is the discussion between Brone and Smart Research.

Brone:
"Unless they sign up for kickboxing classes it's still Wing Chun, just adjusted for realistic resistance > a perfect movie demo where no1 is resisting you"

Smart Research:
"Brione PT Let's change kickboxing to another style, like Sumo.  

Suppose the most practical style were Sumo, and all Chunners were using Sumo. Would you still say, 'They are using Wing Chun'?  

Now, imagine all Sumo wrestlers were using Kickboxing but still claimed it was Sumo. Would that make sense?  

When you use Kickboxing, your Wing Chun is gone. You're using Kickboxing structure and techniques. So, where's the Wing Chun?  

Would you say the same if you were using Muay Thai and still claimed it was Wing Chun?  

You guys don't even know what you're talking about."
