And i find that Wing chun is enjoyable and doesnt really get my ass kicked like other maritial arts ive tried like karate.
I like how wing chun is a complete system and yeah pretty cool.and dislike how other martial arts steal and copy concepts from wing chun kung fu because their system isnt complete becausd they aint teaching karate or whatever they teaching wing chun kung fu.
my favoruite moves at the moment is wao sau and lap sau and learning how 2 breathe correctly really helps your wing chun from my personl experince and opnion. |
There is so much wrong with this post that I just puked all over myself multiple times. No joke. I even dry-heaved a couple times and spat up some bile.
First of all, Wing Chun isn't any more "complete" than any martial art focusing primarily on stand-up tactics. Second, Wing Chun "techniques" and principles have either existed prior to the conception of Wing Chun in other arts or sprouted up on their own without any Wing Chun derived influences. As for stealing techniques, Wing Chun more or less represents a synergy of pre-existing principles found in arts like Xingyi, Ba Gua and White Crane to name a few. So one might argue that Wing Chun has stolen techniques but as any real MA practicioner knows by now: its not about specific technical application as this can vary a great deal depending on the situation. ITS ALL ABOUT PRINCIPLES and as it turns out, many Wing Chun principles and ideas can be found in other arts that existed prior to Wing Chun. So you see, all MAs interact with and feed off each other to create the various forms of MA that exist in a way not unlike music. The music of the past influences music of the future in the same that the MAs of the past influence those of the future.
As for Ip Ching lineage Wing Chun, lets put it this way: If I had the choice of practicing Ip Ching WC or smashing myself in the face with a tack hammer, I would smash my face all day. Trust me, I started at an Ip Ching school and like most Ip Man schools it blew beyond words. No conditioning, no sparring, and nobody with any skill. Plenty of political BS and lots of mumbling worthless platitudes.
At least they played some stereotypical Chinese music in the background while every student began the class with Siu Lim Tao. That sure was awesome!
