Actually Wong gives an example of how 'He' uses his wing chun to defend verses an aggressive boxer. He also says it is dangerous but a wing chun man can defend against the boxer. He states at the end the 'if' the wing man is not up to a good standard the boxer will be a problem and that one must train and train properly to understand the boxer attacks.
Again one must practice, learn and understand range, timing, and angles.
Not in any useful way.Nah. He's keeping the forum active at least.
High noise, low signal.Not in any useful way.
That is a classic example of someone who wants people to think their art has an answer for every range without ever actually testing it. Beyond embarrassing, as Hanzou said a novice grappler with solid fundamentals would destroy this guy on the ground. An old instructor of mine once told me "teach what you KNOW not what you THINK you know".What pisses me off about that vid is that he could spend a very short amount of time in a proper grappling art and learn more practical methods instead of just making crap up.

Also this is a widespread thing imo, I corresponded briefly with Dominic Izzo after he had said somewhere that a good Wc man doesn't need formal grappling skills to be effective on the ground. I asked if he was really serious and he was like "absolutely, snt contains all the ground fighting you need" (paraphrasing here). I didn't continue the conversation at this point as I guessed that he must have missed watching the first 20 ufc's...
No, he was talking about Wc in general, show me where the sprawl in snt is and I will quit training grappling. Izzo is just paying lip service to what most practitioners say regarding all out offense/forward pressure etc when using Wc for real. I lost what (little) opinion I had of Izzo after I saw him play chi Sao with that Danny Horgan clown....Izzo sure as hell has a level of arrogance when it comes to grappling that is silly, hell in general, and he is luckily honest about that. Where he is dead on though, and it relates directly to the boxing thing, is that WC in a real fight cant be Chi Sau like BS. You have to go in period. WC is about "the best defense is a good offense." If you don't go in with serious intent, close that gap and attack, be willing to take a hit, you are going to be at a disadvantage. That isn't making crap up, that is how WC works.
On an aside I would also wonder if, in your conversation, he was referring to "his" WC because I remember an old video where he had a guy showing how to integrate sprawling in order to avoid takes downs etc.
However the lack of ground game is, in part, why I also study Inosanto Kali since that has some ground game to it (along with the weapons, which is relevant to my job.)

I think he meant "beyond being a clown" - as in more clowny than a clown.When you say "more than a clown" I sincerely hope you don't think this guy has any ability...
Yeah I hoped that was the caseI think he meant "beyond being a clown" - as in more clowny than a clown.

Ha, you come across as being a little too savvy to be a fan of that guy! I'm curious about what elenents of your Kali training help with ground fighting Juany. Do you focus on using Kali to prevent going to the ground and/or work on escapes from positions like mount/side control/kesa gatame ?Oh HELL NO. I literally mean it is a term inadequate to described the simultaneous feelings of disbelief and shock I had at such epic failure. Clowns to me result in laughter. I couldn't laugh because what I saw was too tragic.
If it was satire I would agree clown but I think the guy actually is serious.
