Wing Chun vs other MA's fitness standards

[homeo]

I feel I'm above virtually any other chunner or sifu outside my organization, except maybe the disciples of Sifu Leung Bick.

[Hesperus]

Not by my count.

Just about everyone who comes in hear extolling the Chun has the one true Chun.

[EternalRage]

Your troll fu is weak.

[homeo]

Perhaps students of Sifu Gordon Liu as well. I know I'm doing the right kind, and we pressure test our shit with hard live sparring. One-step, two-step, and then free chi-sau where anything can happen. and does.

[homeo]

I really do practice the version of Wing Chun that works!

I think maybe more than a few crossed hands with a WC disciple at some point and came off second best.

[vile_zoidberg]

wtf is your problem?

I was all pumped to take part in my first live action conversation on Bullshido. I was let down.

[Hesperus]

Are his posts being moved here, or is he just jacking off in here?

[homeo]

No one even ventured to meet my first argument.

[Permalost]

I'll bite: there are some chunners that are in good shape, but did they get that way through the chun? I doubt it. The chun people I've met (just 2) trained to punch without explosive force and without incorporating any body into it except the triceps. The stances were high and in no way challenging, and the kicking also required no athleticism (I mention this because other southern kung fu can be quite challenging in these ways). Aside from very easy looking forms training and half assed chi sao, there was very little in terms of conditioning. You could practice wing chun this way for hours with little benefit, and you'll convince yourself you've been exercising for hours, so there's no need to lift weights, go running, etc.

My question to you is this: how does your wing chun training contribute to your fitness?

How should a Wing Chun artist present themselves physically in order to gain respect commensurate with grapplers/boxers/judoka who's abilities, and ability to deliver on those abilities, is not questioned?

I know Jack about Win Chun, but it seems to me most of the photos I've seen of Chinese MArtists are either extremely fit guys breaking things on each other or elderly gentlemen that weighed about 90 pounds. And some Buddhas with huge guts. In any case I wouldn't assume a correlation between appearence and ability. That's an American attitude.

[Hesperus]

That's an American attitude.

And that's a broad stroke you got there. I'd love to hear you justify it.

[100xobm]

What's with this photo too, I didn't pick that.

Whoever picked it gets a psychic high five from me.
You know who you are.

You rounded off a great day.

That's an American attitude.

It's actually a human thing. Called the halo effect I think. People attribute certain personality traits to physical characteristics.
Kinda.

Great userpic though.

I really do practice the version of Wing Chun that works!

videos or fuck off.

Tired of this Wing Chun shit.

They should present themselves physically in a full contact sparring setting.

Oh, and Boztepe works his biceps too much. Probably to compensate for his small penis.

ZING.
