Did you rub your magic WC medallion and say "Wing Chun Go!" three times expecting the spirit of Yip Man to come fight for you? What a load.
Studying something else may be a good idea, but if you are searching for some "it" to "work" for you, you are in for a lot of disappointment and many more ass kickings, which may be just what you deserve at this point.

Haha! Damn straight! I couldnt agree more!
Now for my two cents... it doesnt matter how you train at class, when i was learning karate we friggen stood in a line in Heiko datchi drilling techniques over and over... if we were lucky we'd do combos... if we were REALLY lucky, we'd spar. yes, it sucked, yes it was boring, yes it is unpractical for a real fight situation... No I dont think it was pointless. You get the technique down and YOUR expected to be able to add 1+1 and go train the techniques ou've learnt in a practical way, I learnt karate like this for like a year or two... and I could use it rather well unlike my friend. Because I realised that in a fight you cant stand in a basic stance and drill techniques, your supposed to FIGHT forget the training and if you've trained well enough it will shine through, but if you start thinking "Omg! I cant punch this guy coz my art only made me drill things" then your an idiot. be creative... and yes, like others have said, and many others probably where thinking, it aint wing chun that let you down, its you. I know many wing chun practitioners who could literally leave youlying in a crumpled heap of pain before you could even THINK of thinking of punching them.
