wing chun vs tong long

[FledglingTengu]

Its a simple system you could learn all the forms in a month, but they would be of no practical use.

I just wanted to make sure more people didn't miss this absolutely wonderful quote.

Prodigal.. BOXING.. LEARN WESTERN BOXING...

Nonsense! Everyone knows that once you extend your foot towards a boxer they immediately burst into flames and scream "I AM COMPLETELY OUT OF MY ELEMENT".

[Southpaw]

I can lean the Spanish alphabet in less than a month...but that doesn't mean I will be able to speak Spanish.

Seriously...I'm all open for debating WC...but the vast majority of you folks are not even giving me anything to work with here.

Incidentally...for those of you who don't know...WC and Mantis historically have been at odds with each other...much of the reason being they are both focused on close range fighting.

[Southpaw]

Boyd...why would a boxer need to learn how to defend against a kick?

It's like the need for you to learn how to put on a condom.

[Boyd]

Wing Chun teaches footwork and kicks. Wing Chun incorporates sweeps and throws. Wing Chun _doesn't_ include any 'animal style' movements.

Wing Chun also 'has' grappling and 'uses' knife defenses and 'licks' the massive and fruitful testicles of all BJJ practioners.

For some reason, I'm pretty sure you'd need at least two.

[nasty_totoro]

you should already know most of the spanish alphabet ...

they do call it the latin alphabet for a reason ... =)

[Boyd]

keep in mind the fact that he does Wing Chun and has yet to come to terms with the fact that it's worthless. The concept of an n with a tilde over it must blow his chain-punching mind.

Your wisdom is the light that leads me through the darkness.

As I said this is just my opinion. I take it you don't agree?
Nobody let me use the computer, I had to sneak in!

[Mr.Miyagi]

In all honesty I would take the combat centre over Tom Long. They cross train at the combat centre, kick boxing, bjj, MT and wing chun and kali I think? Im gonna check out the combat centre near me in Mt Ommaney to see what its like, cept it is call "intergrative combat centre" there I believe it is the same one, their main headquaters is supposed to be on Mary street or something I think?

Wing has low gate defences...that's what legs are for.

Gah speaking of lion dance, chinese new year coming up...*cries*

[waapwoop]

hes not called long tong for no reason you know

[wingchunnewbie]

Wing Chun also 'has' grappling and 'uses' knife defenses

Wing Chun has standup grappling, but no groundwork. The only knife defenses I've seen are the ones where you yourself are armed with two meat-cleaver size knives or a six-foot pole.

Where do you get your information ?

[Boyd]

Please don't insult grappling by implying that standing a foot away and slapping each other's forearms is 'grappling'. You're making it cry.

Wing Chun and Tong Long fall beneath my excellent technique of Long Dong.

It incorporates multiple positions and several different hand forms.
