Deluxe Martial Arts Forums - View Single Post - Wing Chun style straight-blast obsolete?

Jim McRae · 05-19-2001, 01:44 AM

Since there has been little activity on the forum as of late, I thought I'd throw out a question:

Does anyone still use the traditional Wing Chun straight blast (the one with the vertical punches)? I practiced this blast for years, but ever since I learned Burton's "boxer's blast" almost two years ago, I have forsaken the Wing Chun blast. The Burton blast has so much more mustard on the punches, whereas the Wing Chun blast has barely enough power to crack an egg (in my opinion).

Opinions and arguments appreciated,
Jim
