I understand what he means. He's saying these guys work in functional arts like BJJ, and they choose to do Wing Chun also. So he figures the wing chun teacher must know something of use if BJJ guys do it.
It's kind of like me seeing that you (Mike Brewer) box, but still insist the wing chun is worthwhile. I respect long term boxers with lots of skill, and respect their opinions on many subjects.
So when I hear you (Mike) support kata and wing chun style trapping drills, I can't figure it.
I'm pretty sure that's what he means.
Personally? If there were a wing chun school nearby me, and I found out a few BJJ black belts were going there to train Wing Chun - I'd probably get really, really curious and go see what the hell they are doing.
If they were doing Wing Chun trapping as I know it, I'd leave.
If they were doing some new, functional version of Wing Chun trapping (a.k.a Greco Roman) I'd stay.
And even if they
were doing standard WC trapping, I'd probably stay at least long enough to befriend the BJJ guys and set up some later times to train together informally.
