How to Use Wing Chun in MMA | ft. Coach Greg Nelson 

Static drills have their use. Its to develop proper Form / Structure, and coordination. Without it, you have sloppy, weak, techs... that fail under pressure / stresses. One also needs to apply their methods, LIVE, in a sparring context, as well. Ive done both, and I can tell you that very few whom are taught Application ONLY.. could compare to what I do / have done. Its not to brag. Its about Knowledge, Experience, and Higher Truth. These drills were created for good reasons. To ignore the thousands of years it took to develop them.. is to be extremely ignorant, and arrogant, to the reasons why.

What I find interesting is what has changed with Gregs interpretation of the technique is the range that he applies it at. He views it all as grappling vs. blocking, trapping, and punching. The practicality of it should be obvious to any practitioner.

The problem, as i see it, is the same as tkd or aikido. Mma doesnt take that long to learn, and that's fine. But if you want to be a streetfighter in aikido, you need to spend 8 years or more getting REALLY good. Same with kung fu. Then you need to learn grappling and groundwork as well. Sadly, most people don't see that, and so write off systems that aren't "traditional mma" which, of course, is the trap that all martial arts fall into.

I like the art but these positions are with a compliant guy who’s not throwing atbyou or even moving at all Don’t take these tips as the guy isn’t complying and it’s just generally bad fighting advice bjustbwhatbive seen in the half of the video.

@@oldironsides4107 You are a dummy. You missed the lesson. Greg knows what resistance is he's fought mma trained in functional combat sports for many yrs. These concepts principles technical examples can work. He's actually not being 100 % a static dummy either. Dummy. Sensativity and trapping is everywhere in Grappling & clinch from functional arts & MMA. These examples are 💯 applicable and can be adapted into any mma combat sport muay thai jits wrestling with resisting opponents. Don't miss the lessons & go away being a dummy. Or do. Its your choice. You acting like every single thing he said & examples he used that there was 100% no resistance on anything shown is you being deaf dumb & blind. Take that critical spirit non thinking cap off. Don't be a dummy. Those energies from wing chun examples were clearly shown with resistance as its the energy he was speaking on and you need resistance for energy work. You have mental tunnel vision seeing what you wanted to see. Go back & look & listen then look again.

Good use 🤣😂. Not for real life situation!!!! Don't get me wrong, I've practiced wing chun.. but using very little in real fights.

@@mohammadwasapedopig665 even boxing is useless if you don't preassure test anything..

You know your stuff, brother. This demonstration was very high level. 👍

Tamo on

The principle is the technique. When you understand the principle, the form will follow.

Auf unseren Film Fo Ming Tang yue oh zhi haben wir diesen hier empfohlen weil wir den Film gut finden

Coach Greg Nelson is definitely a legend!

Porque as artes maciais se transformaram em esporte.

I don:t know much about different fighters styles but I think general trapping is getting more popular. I think training WC specifically for trapping could be the move in a couple years but right now the distance between striking and grappling gets closed way too quickly. If you think in terms of furthest from Kicks, to striking to trapping to grappling, I think with higher level fighters they can maneuver between striking and grappling better. I think it:s just got to get popular and executed well on a grand stage to be more seen in the rings.

A big reason is that people don't like to experiment or try new things when money is involved. You see it not only with MMA, but also boxing, and even big time movies in Hollywood take a safe road.

You've got the spirit David - always adapt and appreciate what still remains until the very last. Best of luck.

@@Erime THANKS. I ain't down and out til I'm down and OUT.. :)

How did you find blending in wing chun and aikido

@@jacobharris954 Sometimes VERY efficient.. especially with multiple attackers. Try it sometime.. Pick out one or two techniques and mix them.. it's FUN-they actually work VERY well together- better than straight line karate actually!!

@@davidwayne9982 I have a aikido wing chun, boxing and balintanwak kali background. I have wondered how to combine to these arts together especially wing chun and aikido. Not many have studied both to high levels
