In my DTE eskrima class we practice a good bit of empty hand work derived from Western Boxing. I constantly mess up since Wing Chun is my core art and the two use very different structures. I'm continuing with it mainly because I love eskrima and also I want to understand the boxer's method better (you know, the old Sun Tzu thing about knowing your enemy and all), but I can't see myself adopting a pure boxing approach. I see that Jin (Chinaboxer) also trains boxing/muay tai... I just don't know how he makes the transition from one to the other.
Do any of the rest of you train boxing or have boxing experience? If so, how do you use it, and how does it help your WC?
