complimentry style to Wing Chun and training in more than one style.

[stuartdaly]

I was just wondering what you guys think a complimentary style to wing chun would be? Possibly something with higher kicks due to their not really being in WC or would this back fire due to WC needing to get in close anyway?

Also what are your views on training more than one style simultaneously? Is it better to choose a style and perfect it?(well get as close as possible since you can always improve) or can you train more than one at the same time or must you reach a certain level of proficiency in one style before you attempt to take on something else at the same time?

Your opinions would be much appreciated.

Obviously a grappling art like Aikido would be perfect. Since both arts rely on sensitivity they would mesh well. The only other possible choice would be Taijutsu, but if that's availible it's so deadly you would hardly still need WC, would you? Nope! Aikido it is, now off with you.

I always recommend FMA, since most styles seem to work a lot better when you have a big ass knife in each hand and drive a tricked out honda civic.

or must you reach a certain level of proficiency in one style before you attempt to take on something else at the same time?

Perhaps you should first learn Newbietown-fu to protect you from piss-takey-waza.

I didnt know there was style called "Taijutsu" isnt it a term used in alot of Japanese styles I think it means body attack/skill/techneke (correct me if Im wrong my Japanese knowledge is mostly anime based lol)

[stuartdaly]

Ok but how do you know when you have reached that level?

[stuartdaly]

Huh??

[BaronVonDingDong]

Huh??

Go to the Newbietown forum, introduce yourself, and ask your question again.

Over there you are (more or less) immune from people taking the piss, and even chunners can get a fair suck of the sav (as I believe they like to say in Australia).

[stuartdaly]

So I should ask the question in Newbietown?

If you don't want to find yourself in a pink unitard training street-style tae bo, then yes.

A bit of sincere advice: You might feel compelled to make another thread about Wing-Chun after reading what people here have said about Wing-Chun, but don't actually make the thread.
