I think you have something against Wing Chun. In your posts you try to prove Wing Chun wrong...Well I practiced western boxing before going to wing chun and I saw that it suited me better, but I will never look down on boxing just becaue now I practice wing chun...I still use jabs, cross and hooks, and I think they are useful in fighting.
Why you have to say "boxing is better than...BJJ is better than..."...I would say "TO ME boxing is better than..."and so on. If you find wing chun useless for your fighting no problem, but you shouldn't insult the wing chun style. And it's not easy to master wing chun, you become efficient only after at least 4 years of intense practice and to master it one should spend 10 years up, but that depends on the person. And chi-sau is only an exercise, it is not sparring or fighting. When a wing chun practitioner fights you will never see him doing chi sao. Many so-called wing chun masters have down-graded the art, and many schools around are not what they claim to be. But I can name a few good masters, those I know to be really good: Hawkins Cheung, Yip Chun, Austin Goh, Leung Ting(in HK). There is too much talking about wing chun, I agree, and most of it is useless and false. But if you really think that the style is no good then you shouldn't have any problems going to one of the above schools and have a fight with an instructor.
