Yeah because most
traditional wing chun (William Cheung) has many many flaws and is too small minded to survive in any place

William Cheung and most of his instructors I have met who teach under Cheung claim that chain punches will finish a fight. Then when I see their chain punches it makes that statement even worse
We train chain punches, but teach students how to use them correctly
Not like we are doing some disco move
Defence of your teacher is admirable, but if you look through any martial arts website and mention William Cheung, no-one would say a good thing about him (maybe his own instructors, but even they probably hate him)

And you didn't want to challenge people from other systems because it would give them time to prepare... so, you test your skills by king hitting people i assume!??! On top of that, you wouldn't use Wing Chun against another Wing Chun practitioner... hmmm.... when would you use Wing Chun, then???

Why did you find that funny? People on fightclub wanted to see wing chun in action. And in a club scenario, I would almost always use wing chun. I volunteered to shoot a vid with my students but in the end declined because as has been stated on here - wing chun videos tend to almost be always against wing chun guys. I would just have been fanning the flames
I never claimed to beat all traditional wing chun fighters. I happen to know some extremely good martial artists who prefer to use traditional wing chun. Yet they train the traditional wing chun well and understand why they do what they do. Cheung doesn't. And he doesn't have any kind of streetfighting rep to back it up - hell the only good video he produced was him and Bozteppi
Why? Because it shows the flaws in sticking to one style
