I don't have any problem with Wing Chun as a series of moves and fun games that look like fighting. If people like that description, and enjoy wing chun (I really do enjoy the trapping drills, but when do I have time to do them when I a) work b) train boxing c) train striking in the clinch d) train throwing in the clinch e) train control positions, striking and submitting on the ground..)
When do I have time to do wing chun, considering it
doesn't work?

However, I
do do do have a problem with people who teach Wing Chun and call it a martial art. It is not martial. It might be an "art" in the sense of "dance" but it is not a "martial" art.
I think those teachers commit fraud. I think it's a shabby thing to do.
