Every style has at the very least a core of concepts, strategies, techniques and attributes – otherwise how can it be recognised or distinguished as a style? Looking specifically at the videos posted, and my understanding of Wing Chun which is not expert but not remedial either, I cannot see any of the afore mentioned factors that distinguish it as a style.

Now look at pretty much any MMA match and you can clearly see the concepts, strategies, techniques and attributes of Wrestling, BJJ, Boxing, Thai (depending on who is fighting). So my point was simple, I give credit to the individuals who step into their own arena, but I saw no Wing Chun in what was posted as a Wing Chun fight. Simple as really.

I have no issue with Wing Chun, but when a man gives lager and tries to tell me its Guinness – he’s gonna know about it.
