every kickboxing lesson. Never drilled that particular follow-up, but I remember it being reccommended in a boxing tutorial on
parries. It certainly gives you a better shot at the opening than countering with your left.

I don't think any discussion about trapping is complete without a mention of Muangthai PK Saenchai Muay Thai Gym, 2014 fighter of the year and Channel 7 stadium super featherweight champ.
Now, I know less than shit about wing chun trapping principles and kung fu lineage, and while I'm sure such knowledge would greatly enhance my general well-being, I don't care. What I do understand is a dude taking a nap on the canvas, and the fact that the trapping that put him there looks nothing like what we've seen in chun trapping drills.
In conclusion, Muay Thai > All

Saw some weapon vids posted which I think were intended to make the point that WC is about more than just empty hand. But I don't see any reason their weapons training should be held to a different standard than their empty hand. How does it do sparring? How would it fair against HEMA in sparring, or Dog Brothers/FMA in sparring? Is it realistic? Does it work? Those questions are just as legit as asking how (empty hand) WC does in MMA or kickboxing.
