Do you guys think I should throw in some BJJ with my Wing Chun?  I've been thinking about this for a while and its seems like it would be a good idea.  However if I do decide to add BJJ to my arsenal it wont be for like another year so I can get a better understanding of WC and not mix up the priciples.  Here's a link to the school that is available to me  http://www.debraziljiujitsu.com/

					Self-defense is only an illusion, a dark cloak beneath which lurks a razor-sharp dagger waiting to be plunged into the first unwary victim.
Whoever declares that any weapon manufactured today, whether it be a nuclear missle or a .38 special, is created for self-defense should look a little more closely at his own image in the mirror. Either he is a liar or is deceiving himself.
Wing Chun kung fu is a very sophisticated weapon--nothing else. It is a science of combat, the intent of which is the total incapacitation of an opponent. It is straightforward, efficient and deadly. If you're looking to learn self-defense, don't study Wing Chun. It would be better for you to master the art of invisibility

How old are you? If your still young, no need to rush into BJJ so quickly, in a street fight, I think striking would be more beneficial.
If you have time, do both, if not I think Wing Chun would be best for now.
**IN THEORY** A good WC guy does not get taken down because he protects his centerline.
I like BJJ a lot but I think you'll be pretty happy with WC if you stick with it.

But if you have the time, energy and money, train BJJ sooner than a year or two......maybe in 6 months, try to cross train.
that's what I would do

I am always wondering why some people always down others MA. I was talking to a friend who practices Muay Thai and he is alway dissing other MA.
Is there a reason? I dont care what MA it is as long as it helps me.
