In modern day wing chun.. if you're not taught by somone from the WSL branch, you're learning CRAP.
http://www.garylamwingchun.com (http://www.garylamwingchun.com/) and http://www.wingchuncoach.com (http://www.wingchuncoach.com/) are both WSL branch wing chun schools, the later coming from the previous school.
We emphasize HARD SPARRING, punishing people who chainslap, take-downs, joint-locks, and standiing traps and standling grappling. Look at the videos on both sites and you'll see what I mean.
A foolish thing to say really. I'm not saying WSL branch is bad, they actually look like some of the best WC that I've seen advertised on the net. But to say that all other WC is crap shows the same old WC arrogance.
Lineage means nothing in the martial arts. You can only judge each instructor in isolation.
The most important thing is what you've said at the end there - sparring, take-downs, stand-up grappling. I'd also include conditioning, weights and bagwork as essential components to a striker's arsenal.
Please, don't be one of the guys who disses other families all day long. That's part of the reason we have a bad rap on here.

Alright, I'll say that all non-WSL WC is *mostly* crap...
My angst doesn't come from traditional WC arrogance.. it comes from being angry at the reputation WC has on the internet, especially in this forum. All those crap videos of WC guys either getting beat up or making a slap-fool of themselves are not Wong Shun Leang... I mean,, I'll admit..
William Cheung is pretty good and so is Emin Boztepe.. but then again.. WSL and William Cheung both have reputations of being bad-ass mma street fighters.. William Cheung was a bad boy for the Chinese mafia (despite being taken to the ground by surprise from a crazy student one) and WSL stopped street fighting when he poked a guy's eyeball out!
On another note, one thing that people on this forum don't emphasize is that JKD has proven to be effective in the MMA world by dozens of fighters.. and JKD has its root in Wing Chun!!
Finally, Grond has some videos of himself sparring. I'm not sure if he's WSL or not, but he seems pretty good. I read some people talking about his supposed lack of power punches or something.. Honestly, imagine if you could do what grond was doing and add boxer punches (Wouldn't be hard to add close-range hooks and upper-cuts)
I'm dying for someone other than a fat non-WSL old guy to step up to UFC..

Funny how it took you a page of writing to say
Hate to be the bearer of bad news ... but you are hardly someone of sufficient worth to rate being offensive. You are on par with a knat on a tiger's ass ... a little buzzing noise and nothing more.
So, we both know I am more signifigant, to you, than a knat.
Where did I say you practiced WC. YOU said it was Small frame H'ung GA twice, implying YOU know something about _ing _un. I asked and you answered so, thanks for proving me right.
Oh, by the way dumbass, you have no clue. If it is an interpretation of characters then why are there huge wars on which is the right style? None of the people who say "I study WT/VT/WC" use this as an excuse:
There is no "correct" spelling you brain dead fuckwit. It's an approximation of calligraphy characters. The FACT that you insist on _ing _un community isn't silly ... you would have to come up a few levels to rate silly.
They go so far as to claim they have:
a)The real spelling
b)The real art
c)The best
d)The true lineage holder
e)The deadly
Each of the "approximations" say this you idiot.
Congratulations Mr. Intellectual on finally learning how to use the quote function.

Anyone with JKD training wanna jump in, because the JKD I've seen looks nothing like WC. Am I just blind to the WC base JKD has?

So, how bout them Cubs? Pretty awful, aren't they?
Which Cubs are you talking about? Because you have several 'kinds' of Cubs. I, of course, support the hardcore oldschool Cubs that have 'Teh Real' baseball. Not this bullshit you see today.

Damn straight. Can't wait to see if Manning and the Colts are going to be the next B. Bills.
Oh WC/WT/VT which is it? (Staying on Topic)

Thats exactly what I'm talking about. The WC you've seen looks nothhing like JKD because its not the WC i'm talking about!!
There's this book I'm sure you've heard of.... The Tao of JKD.. written by Bruce Lee.
Read it and you'll see that he bases a lot of his fight philosphy on economy of motion and center line mechanics. Now, bruce was a guy that liked to emphasize adaptability and general MMA type concepts.. so if the only actual mechanics he would push forward are WC concepts.. that says a lot about WC.
Bruce also encouraged sensitivity drills, wooden dummy, and all the typical WC traning components. He figured out what was being discussed in these forums a long time ago:
That in order to be good at fighting, you have to fight either in real street fights or full-power with pads. WSL fought people.. JKD people spar full contact.
Now if you want to get specific,.. here are some of technique (ahhh I hate that word) similarities:
1. Straight lead punch from the elbow
2. Intercepting punches (WC calls it "pak")
3. Pulling (WC calls it "lop") and trapping
4. Fencing-like footwork
Bruce added backhands, savate kicks, and the general concept of *adding ***** as time goes by.
Yrkoon, don't be a dickface. Your avatar is already obnoxious enough. :)

Grond you avatar of Shaolin-Do's Grandmaster is ironic. I'd go on but I'll PM you so we can argue off the thread. :pain10:
Or maybe I won't.:)
I have teh r34l baseball see :viking: .
So, we both know I am more signifigant, to you, than a knat.
Nope, you're reasoning is reflective of your IQ which is, no doubt, the same as your shoe size.
YOU said it was Small frame H'ung GA twice, implying YOU know something about _ing _un. I asked and you answered so, thanks for proving me right.
I know what I know and one of those things is you are, without question, a squat to pee punk.
Oh, by the way dumbass, you have no clue. If it is an interpretation of characters then why are there huge wars on which is the right style? None of the people who say "I study WT/VT/WC" use this as an excuse:
By the way, shit4brains, you have no clue as to where you might find a clue. Style is a matter of origin myth and how something is written in English that comes from the Chinese language is a matter of character interpretation. Can you grasp the distinction, fuckwit?
They go so far as to claim they have:
a)The real spelling
b)The real art
c)The best
d)The true lineage holder
e)The deadly
Each of the "approximations" say this you idiot.
"They" all say this do "they" ... you know, constantly referring to an unqualified
"they" is indicative of paranoia. There are medications that might be of help to you. Seek professional help ASAP ... I wouldn't want "they" to ... you know ... be out to get you or anything like that ... BOO!!! Aw, don't be scared Skippy, just take your meds like a good little twat.
BTW Whiz Kid "Each of the approximations say this you idiot." is a meaningless sentence. Never did much with transformational grammar I take it.
Congratulations Mr. Intellectual on finally learning how to use the quote function.
Why thank you most kindly multi-avatar boy ... now, back to your "they" problem and the proper psychiatric treatment for you ... John

His they isn't unqualified, he's talking about __ing __un as a group. Stop bagging people for low IQ until your posts make sense.
And in the __ing __un world, the spelling does matter because it indicates organization. We've all resorted to __ing __un because we're sick of getting "Dude that 's not my WC we don't even spell it like that we are Ving Tsun"
There's this book I'm sure you've heard of.... The Tao of JKD.. written by Bruce Lee.
BBBBWWWAAAHHHAHAAAAhhhhaaa ... get it right. Jun Fan created nothing, amounted to nothing and yes, he had lots of fights in NYC Chinatown. Problem is, he NEVER won any of them. Lam Wing Fay dropped him right in the Hip Sing Tong when Lam was in his 70s ... then he turned his back on him. So much for Jun Fan becoming Lum Sang's To-dai.
Bruce Lee ... what a bunch of Ass Clowns that follow that dead midget. He was a "great fighter" just like Sly was a "great soldier" ... Hollywood hype and nothing more. Next you will be going on about "X-Men Kung Fu" and how it really rocks.
