Seeking help. i need someone with real knowledge of the game

i've studied wing chun(formal) for bout 1 year. most of it started with books until i met my father. after 1 hour with him i realized there are so many options like in kempo or twisting tiger or even savate. proper perception/anticipation of the tech. must be seen first b4 even blocking. then once you've latched on. i go with ti chi energy concepts to force open the line or re-direct the attack to unseen open lines. i want to prove that this still, given its rigid structure can help in the defense of western style boxing.
