How close is close range in wing chun?

[bezzerk]

Hi, can you tell me if what this guy here says about close range is right and common knowledge in wing chun?

Start at 8:00 and then watch a few minutes.

To me what he demonstrates appears to make sense but is this what's generally taught in wing chun?
I have watched instructional videos from chinese sifus and also training videos on the wooden dummy and
from what I remember they were all not as close as he is. Does this mean he's right and most others are wrong
and they are too far away from the attacker/dummy?

Don't worry too much about "right" and "wrong." People seem to think that Wing Chun is just one thing. It is not. Wing Chun has grown so much over time that there are now many variants and interpretations that can all work in the context of how they are being used. People that put an emphasis on punching in their Wing Chun are going to function primarily at punching range...approximately arm's reach. But people that put an emphasis on controlling and manipulating the opponent in their Wing Chun are going to function at a closer range.

 

[bezzerk]

That makes sense. But how do you know what's better and more effective?

Geezus. Just...geezuz.

Yeah. I forgot my old data.

No I haven't yet started anything. I simply cannot make up my mind.

Every time when I feel like ok I'm just gonna do wing chun for a while I start to get doubts.

I needed to feel like this stuff really works but how? There's so much opposition.

I'd like to do wing chun + something like aikido or ninjutsu where you learn to throw people.

But this seems to dangerous to me. Just looking at how people are being thrown on the mattress

scares me. This seems pretty risky to me in terms of neck injuries or other injuries.

I'd like to learn how to throw but not be thrown.

If you don't get thrown, you'll never learn how to throw.

If you can't treat yourself as a "bouncing ball", the throwing art is not for you.

Yup, I was thinking the same thing too.
By the way, my favorite is Nikka Coffey grain, excellent Japanese whiskey, velvety and smooth.

Bezzerk i dont think its physically possible to learn something without experiencing it.
pleae dont take this the wrong way, but you sound like you expect everything to be given to you. Its ok for you to throw someone but they cant do it back to you. there is no MA school out there that can provide it, u r better off buying a rag doll and train with that instead. best of luck, you'll build loads of stamina while you're at it.
