I like how Vunak explains things but I think you still should put your hands close to your face even at a distance because you never know when you will get caught or how fast the other guy is in a street fight. Also he seems to use the wing chun punches to make the other guy cover so he can land a big shot. He's too high off the ground and is just slapping. In order to do damage with wing chun punches you have to have a good stance and when you move forward coordinate your body with your punch.
I have found that trapping can happen , especially if you strike at the eyes (it makes even trained boxers throw their hands out) and very much so against sloppy fighters. "mma" cage fighters are just the next step in tournament fighters. It is not street fighting.
Like most things, trapping can and does work, people just try to do it at the wrong time more often than not. It's like trying to do wrist locks by catching a punch. Wishful thinking. Perhaps it's not IMPOSSIBLE, but unlikely. But not every situation is two kickboxers squaring off throwing bombs at each other. Maybe they have their finger in your chest, or are shoving you back trying to set something up. Maybe they're back pedaling with their arm out...these things happen quite often.
It starts with, for me, knowing that God made us in his image as Genesis 1:26 states, and going from there, with the attitude that no street punk, criminal or terrorists is going to offend me - they're going to have to sneak attack me at great distance with firearms, or drop a bomb on me. At close range, you're not going to beat me unless you cut my head off. You have to have that attitude - at least I do... See Surviving Edged Weapons - excellent video on mindset from a heart set, which is where all things lie - Hebrews 4:12 - "12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." Then - hone the body through practical skills such as these, but skills alone will not save you - Jesus does, even if we are killed.
haha...well its a fact,...trapping only works on idiots & WC men..all styles fight at trapping range...they just dont use WC type trapping...no fighters in full contact anywhere use that type of trapping, they can..they are allowed..but they dont because its useless
haha...im well aware of "where" your trapping range is...every style in the world fights at that range...but they dont trap...boxers just in fight punching at that range..thais might parry down elbow,..wrestlers slap & grab...ive already told you this...yet you come back with a comment telling me "where" trapping range is haha..trapping in kali sticks has a revelance...not in empty hands it doesnt...theres better ways to achieve the same result
what do boxers do when they get to this range called "trapping range"..ill tell you...they just fkn punch...there aint such a range as trapping range...its an artificial range called that by styles that trap..boxers punch at trapping range, muaythai might parry down elbow, wrestlers slap & grab or shrug ect...im not saying trapping doesnt work (although WC trapping is shit)..but all styles fight at trapping range,they just dont trap..if trapping was effective..mma every where would use it more.
its not that mma doesnt use WC type trapping....when they fight....NO styles that fight.. use it..including WC men who fight in the Ip Man cup...they all use western boxing & muaythai, never trapping & chain punches
