Tom, allow me to quote myself from post # 45 above - "Again if your "Kamon must be doing something right..." means that they are attempting to evolve their Wing Chun into an actual fighting art (many BJJ moves/holds/submissions would not qualify as they are easily escaped via a nice juicy bite/eye-gouge/groin crush, etc), then okay. The jury, however, is still out."
My BJJ remarks, including the one about tapping out (my last post) had to do with it'sapplication in the street, where it's vital to remain on one's feet. To those in Wing Chun who would attempt to improve Wing Chun by adding BJJ to it when their claim is that Wing Chun is not a sport (which it is not).
I personally do not agree with mixing sport grappling with street self defence training. I personally train for each separately and vastly differently. I don't expect anyone to agree with me on this or not. It's what I feel I have to train in. Enjoyed your last post.
