I think this is the point we ask for youtube videos.

i do think that one maybe two punches to the face can be enough in most cases, i just dont think it is likely that a chunner will be able to do that. A competitive boxer on the other hand..

wing chun is supposed to be applied in a multi stike fashion, its not about landing one or two punches then thinking arghh that should do it.

So is this part of your class, or just something you do on the side?

Do you allow takedowns and groundwork?

Do you guys spar with some protective equipment? like a head gear? i remember sparring with a few chunners and they didnt like it rough. They actually thought i was a bit of a douche to strike them a little rough on the head. I guess what im saying is that slappy kitty sparring is not exactly sparring. IMO if you don't feel the need to put on a head gear and you don't look like a rape victim the next day after 6 or 7 rounds of sparring than it isn't sparring right.
