How to Find a Wing Chun School That is Modernized

[KPM]

I know what it is, but I disagree that it's going to really prepare you for anything. There's a huge difference between 'be ready for these three things' and 'be ready for anything'

No one can "be ready for anything"!

Can Wing Chun ‘merge’ with boxing or visa versa? I’ve boxed and best part of boxing is sparring. Boxing with foot work etc can help you get into close range where you’ll be abble to apply Wing Chun principles.

Well, of course! Funny you should ask!

Sure you can, in the context of a fight. But to do so requires a lot of training and even more sparring/fighting.

It applies to anything really. You can't get good at anything without doing it.

Also similar to the way we trained when I was practicing Bagua years ago. We would practice form and show us how to apply it a fight or self defense.

What about that guy?

The way he applies and tweeks CMA principles and forms with boxing.

So that was more of a 'wow he's good' rather than a 'wow he sucks'?

Absolutely ‘wow he’s good’. Was taught similar years ago applying Bagua form and principles. The teacher left for the West coast and have never found anything similar.

I'm sure he'll be happy to read that. I too think he's doing good work.

You can be ready for something, though. Or nothing. Those are both achievable goals. Measurable, too.

Thanks guys! If you had seen some of the responses I get on the FB "Wing Chun Forum", you would think I was some kind of Wing Chun pariah! ;-)

When you find a cage comfortable, you might not like it when someone rattles it.

You know me though I'm all about that too. Rattle it till it falls apart brother.

Sort of.

You can train concepts that don't require a specific situation to function.

It's

- easy to train how to escape an attack. All you will need is to step back.
- not easy to train how to take advantage on an attack. You will need to understand how to borrow your opponent's force.

Interesting in Wing Chun but realize that it’s best to find a school that teaches real life applications and that Wing Chun could be modified to incorporate techniques like boxing and ground fighting. I’m in the Philly area. What’s the best way to find out if a school teaches not necessarily the traditional way but more adaptable in today’s world? Thanks!

The best thing to do, in my opinion, is to learn traditional Wing Chun and incorporate it with other techniques on your own. Everyone has a different style. People may train the same martial art, but there is always tiny things that people prefer to do that suits them better than anyone. I have picked up my fighting style from incorporating techniques from everything I have learnt. Every martial has something new to teach, and the best way to pick this teaching up is from tradition, I believe.

I’d like to know how KPM teaches.

Don’t know. Depends on why you’re a practicing MA’ist. When I practiced years ago with the Bagua / boxing hybrid I wanted to learn self defense. We sparred a lot against different CMA’s and boxers. Other CMA’s were easy to beat for the most part. Boxers and Thai boxers another story.
