Adam's perception of Wing Chun and away it should be utilized is absolutely on the money! Too many times us moviegoers expect Wing Chun to be a technique based on contact. When actually, it should be more based on the ACT of the opponent!
Provo, Provo!!!! Subordinating techniques to principles & concepts. Your explanations encourages us to believe that wing Chun is both doable and practical. Thank you for encouraging us to pursue WC with understanding, realistic expectations & confidence….
The reason people that say 90% of the fights go to the ground is becasue 90% of people can't fight standing up. Thats works in competition with one opponent..but usually in a street confrontation its a group of punks, that would never challenge anybody one on one. Once your on the ground with one..you are open toattacks from theothers to kick you in the face while you are grappling with their colleague
I just started my journey at 45, and really appreciate all of your videos. Looking at doing your online course (don't have any classes locally). Seems more legit than some of these other huge personalities on RU-vid.
It’s very legit. The question I have is… will you be disciplined enough to do the real work? Because I don’t baby students. This is the real deal. Nothing less.
@@sifuadamwilliss Absolutely. If there's one thing I know, and know well, it's hard work. Back breaking work is all I've done my whole life. I may not take you as serious if you did baby students. I grew up in the time where you get hurt, you rub a little dirt on it, and get back to work. I've been beaten up by life, you aren't going to hurt my feelings.
Move fluidly like a boxer, and use your wing chun when you find yourself in trapping range. Mobility is one of the key elements in fighting and few people ( in WC ) understand the use of their footwork, a good understanding of yee gee Kim ye ma, which is only a training stance, should be ingrained in your motor system. Your WC stance will come into play automatically without thinking about them. After all, we don’t go around performing our daily activities in a pigeon toe stance, that’s not normal. So, as Muhammad Ali used to say: “ float like a butterfly, sting like a be “, and don’t be a slave to Wing Chun and make the concepts, theories, and principles work for you, the hell with rules. Lol 😀👊🏼🙏🏼
Truth! I believe that is why we are seeing so many "Flow" systems coming out now because Wing Chun became rigid, and rule based. I love the part you said about constantly getting better, but I have also come to realize that you are constantly getting older, and your Wing Chun must adjust as you age especially as you pressure test!
Absolutely right..thisis one of thebest understandings of wing chun...I've practice wing chun for many years but my foundation is traditional boxing and I've always felt that most wing chun practioners don;t understand that wing chun stance is not a fighting osture its just for training and practicing form..in a real confrontation you have to move around like a boxer or wrestler or whatever your discipline is and when you get within the range of attack the wing chun hand techniques are then applied. Positioning yourself in a wing chun stance looks good when Donnie Yen does it in the movies but in real life ..its a telegraph for anyone that knows anything about combat
Im about to start wing chun for all the amazing thing about kung fu for your body head and heart and of course self-defense. And im happy i found you before i start the martial art to show mistake traditional wing chun student are doing when in a street fight (defending of course) and wondering why their self-defense didnt work to protect theirself
I really like this video. I have only few experiences with Wing Chun and I was wondering what is going on with it. Because I knew it is an effective system, but on the other hand I knew lots of practitioners get the wrong end of a stick. You showed me, what it is about. Ad ground fighting - I really like answe of Bill Wallace to the dogma: "Fights end on the ground." He said: "Ok, fights OFTEN end on the ground, but they ALWAYS start on the feet."
I enjoyed your video. It helped me understand exactly how to approach a fight better. Your videos have helped me learn more about the principles of wing chun as well how to do some of the hand and feet movements. Thank you 😊
well said we are taught same thing to get out of being stuck in one position continuing moving and flowing with your opponent i always get told off if i stick to much or stay still
I like the watching your video because you just solve 90% of what RU-vid Wing Chun girls get wrong in the first 30 seconds of your video. Nobody can win a fight and then pretending to be a statue.
The problen is after the 90s wing chun became a esoteric traditional fitness art. I mean even in the beginning of wing chun there were tournaments and sparring. I would. Never stand in a ring fight with man sao wu sao and one line footsteps. What wing chun people forget in the beginning nobody knows wing chun and was suprised now everybod knows it.. And many arts like krav maga, muay thai ect adapt techniques. So wing chub guy should be train against this arts too. Not only wing chun vs wing chun or wing chun vs ordinary guy of the street.
Hi Sifu Willis. I think the best question I can ask is- the distance you mention and speak of is that a, it comes with experience thing progression? But to learn you need to be close otherwise getting the contact is nigh on impossible. Or reading the situation is very difficult and then if the person is all of a sudden on you, choosing the correct block/attack is missing because you are freaking out when in close.
DownWithThePlague Thanks man. I appreciate the support of my Wing Chun advice for real fighting. Unlike many, my interest is real Wing Chun fight training and because of that I’m dedicated to honest advice based on my decades of experience. Thanks again!

@@sifuadamwilliss I appreciate you too..giving the facts steaight up...Too many people ae disallusioned about Wing Chun,,it should also be noted that finger thrusting is impractical and dangerous..unless executed by extremely highly skilled monk, who is trained in iron palm or iron fingers...The upper philanges (bones) of the fingers are the most fragile in the body..and the human skull has the largest and hardest mass of bone..the chances of accurately thrusting fingers to the eyes without hitting the forehead bone is highly improbable..becasue in real confrontation the head doesn't remain still..if you miss and most likely you will your fragile finger bones will break once forcefully meeting with the skull...This is an anatomical fact that gets overlooked when training in Bui Jee...and .Thats why the martial arts community needs trainers like you...to help people understand what is effective and what is not and how and when to use skillsets appropriately for real combat situations
This was a great video. I haven't studied wing chun but I've only been able to read about it. Can you tell me if Wing Chun has any chin na or jointlocks and takedowns or leg sweeps? I get different answers from different instructors I ask and you seem like a good instructor to find out what wing chun is supposed to be. Thank you!
They say "90% of the fights go to the ground" I worked as a doorman for 11 years and that statistic is false from my experience, but even if it was true, close to 100% of fights start on their feet.
TruthHurts 18 Yup. BJJ enthusiasts put out this fake stat to further their cause. In reality, the percentages are extremely low of going to the ground when you understand how to apply Wing Chun.
@@sifuadamwilliss totally agree, in many cases, from what I saw if it went to the ground, most of the time it gets broken up either by security or other friends trying to either pull it apart or capitalise on someone vulnerable, get a free shot in etc.

I would love to see you fight Mark Stas!! Everyone loves to sale their own perspective of wing chun but never master it not saying your not good just saying want to see you go up with a skilled master
Wing Chun Lessons :: By The Dragon Institute .it's fine .but if they need to be touching ,your right they can't fight using wing chun it's a complete system .it's not bbj is it lol I'm not saying it's bad but it's not chun .I don't get how they would enter a fight get on the floor and crab walk towards the opponent lol
Wing Chun Lessons :: By The Dragon Institute you know what I find funny people think wing chun is a hobby .When in fact it's a way of life it's being the chun living the chun .and it funny how chun coincides with everyday life
Sorry Brian - I have practiced 26 years and can say that Master Wong is not a master, nor does he practice good Wing Chun. I think he may have learned for less than a year and then started teaching. Sorry for being so honest.
@@sifuadamwilliss Really ! Do you have any videos so I have something to compare with . I believe but like you said pressure test everything. Thanks for the heads up
back in the 60s, every movie or tv show that featured any asian martial art emphasized a very staccato sequence, moving from one dramatic stance to the next. with sound effects. i think that that is where the impetus for all this jerky posturing came from.
