This Master Proves That Wing Chun Works In UFC 

Thanks for watching! Don’t forget to subscribe! What should I do next?

I've been saying this for decades, "It's NOT the art, it's the practitioner. Their training in the understanding of the engagement that determines the outcome."

DUDE!!! For the longest time I show and tell many people that wing chun is very useful on the back on the floor too! I’m so glad he was able to show it!!! You really leverage the floor on your back to chi sao while laying on the floor! His hands look extremely heavy too! He is definitely an experienced Wing Chun practitioner

Boxers have been using trapping and frames forever . George Foreman really implemented them in his comeback fights

Great video ! Greg Nelson definitely embodies the whole absorb what is useful, reject what is uselesss, and add what is essentially your own. A fantastic coach!

I am a former amateur boxer and was a top ranked fighter USKBA kickboxing…. Used small bits of wing chun ALL THE TIME. And the sensitivity training so useful on the inside… as well as grip fighting in grappling

God damn, that man is a fighting genius

Ok this is propably your best vid for information how to apply trapping. Gorgeous.

This master proves that Wing Chun, when used in combination with other arts, works in the UFC. What he's doing is very similar to the JKD approach to cross-training popularized by Dan Inosanto and his students.

Thanks for sharing this video Kevin ! TMMA is def key to everything and in life. I appreciate you for showing us this video

Yes! I love that you covered how it isn't about the art, more so the person! A key can open many doors and keep others locked. However, what use is a key if we want to bake a cake? People tend to struggle using the right art in the right way:) Expand the MA toolkit but also love and appreciate each art. Every single one can offer us something if our minds are open. Everything has a use and application! Thanks Kevin!

Amazing stuff!! Thank you both!

One of the best episodes Kevin! Have him back soon

So cool watching Nelson move! All his fighters use tuishou all the time! Now we know why! Great video Kev!

Hey! Excellent demonstration and explanation of applying sensitivity drills. You did great Greg!!

Once again, Good Stuff! Thank you 🙏

The elbow hand trapping while in guard! I've done it, but now I know I should train it more

That ground trap was great, would love to see a fighter pull that off but they often are too far into trying to finish w/ hammer fists/blows to stop and take the time to think about trapping the defending arm like that, but thats a secure way to finish pretty quickly and give the ref no choice.

Kevin, great video and interview. His trapping insights were brilliant. Can you do a trapping video? He's so quick in his movements that it's difficult to follow. Can you slow it down and do a video on the subject?

This man seems to be on another level, great video!

Love this- Great examples. Been doing Jeet Kune Do past 2 years now and love learning trapping…👊🏽👊🏽

This guys got some great moves 👏👏👏

SO AWESOME, yet again great interview & video Kevin, top of your game!

This was great, thank you

Guy is in great shape to be instructing, actively thinking about what Kevin and he will do next, countering, for that long and not being tired

good coach... straight foward teaching... whatever it takes to get inside.. always 3-4 step ahead.. 👍😁

Best post ever, Mr Nelson is incredible

great video as always 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

wow!!! this is Gold!!

Excellent presentation, respect

Great video! Thank you! Where can I buy so wonderful sports trousers in old Chinese style ?

great stuff, great coach! 👍

When I first started Bjj, I was about throwing everything away I trained in my Kung fu days. But after training several years, I’ve been seeing how Kung Fu helps with grappling.

Good ideas come from everywhere and anyone.

Very nice. I enjoyed these advises.

A true martial artist 🙏

Greg is such a Great teacher! What a Master and a Champion Maker he is.

A great video !!!! Thanks. And excellent new word : TMMA

Enjoy your channel Kevin. My Sifu, Alan Orr, has also taught Wing Chun as the stand up and striking art to coach his fighters for MMA and other combat sports with great success.

wing chun always reminds me of HEMA just hand to hand instead of with weapons

Nice traps, in the mount position! We may actually see these very soon

I’ve never seen taking the arm and trapping it under the thigh from top mount, it’s like like the straight jacket from back but now in front! In pure grappling That could be a great set up for Ezekiel chokes

i appteciate your thoughts about absorbing pertinent aspects of the many disciplines

Great video, very compelling stuff! And that's something that most of us over 30 have learned, it's the artist, not the art. Of course some of these kids commenting here on RU-vid are so locked into whatever they practice that they're convinced it is the only effective thing. And I include mainstream MMA in that ("only MT/BJJ works! Karate/Judo is ineffective!"). Everything is effective in its way, it's a question of how skilled you are in applying those tools. It's the artist, not the art. 🙂

Amazing video!

Really nice 🙌

I myself Practicing the Native Kali of Philippines. I find Wing Chun concept of Defense and attack similarities and effectiveness only closed Combat Actions. He's right to utilized his knowledged of Filipino martial arts and Wing Chun if it's needed to shift into these modes immediately when needed. Of course if the attacker prefers to long distance high kick and rolling over hitting it's time to shift to another grabbing, trapping , like Judo or JetKundo or Muay Thai boxing, I actually see you in these videos. It's like these five martial arts are coming out of your way of fighting. For me I see these 5 martial arts works effectively to get the opponent to play your system and put him down & win the fight . Not the other way around. Totally Agree with him.

Is this a repost? I swear he posted this video before under a different title?

This dude's voice and overall style reminds me of like an MMA Tony Hawk. He has that legend status.

Greg Nelson is a legend, his techniques to enter the clinch and clinch work is awesome. He's one of the main reasons Brock Lesnar did so well

Great episode again! Tbh i feel like there should be more videos about this topic. Wing Chun at this point is attached to such a stigma where the martial art is really suffering. We as Wing Chun practitioner are stereotyped as you do Wing Chun so it must be bad cause there are 0 UFC fighters that use Wing Chun. In fact there are definitely good Wing Chun fighters out there. I hope this voice/message can be heard and vocalized to a wider public.

lets gooooo!

Looks very effective

Great video!

great vid and great guest

When I was learning JKD this is exactly what we did. I would be shocked if my teacher and him hadn't been to some of the same seminars because everything, even the language, is the same.

Kevin, Greg can play the character Stick from Daredevil! Great VIDEO!

Love this guy’s work and open approach.

simply beautiful

I like Greg Nelson's use of chi sao and bong sau it's really effective Wing Chun which means He's been practicing for a long time with a partner

Excellent video. Gung Fu is very real and very effective in the right hands!

Exactly man, be like water my friends.

One of the best

Experience also Kurodaiya the revolution in Martial art

Great video :)

Is your school is nyc?

Yeah I thought hang on a second, this looks like FMA, and then hubud comes up and all the rest hahah. Awesome video.

When Master Chigurh speaks, we listen! 👊

Wonderful.

Jon jones front kick to the knee is a wing chun strike... Anderson silva did wing chun too... I think tony Ferguson also... etc

Dude looks like Sensei Benny 20 years ago.

From where does this "whobad" come? I have heard of Chi Sau of course. With time it will almost be as if you are reading their mind, or you feel as if Sifu is reading yours. Sensitivity to the max.

I just made a video about this a day ago, mentioned Greg and Rose, perfect timing lol

Most ppl that see Wing Chun application in the cage don't know it is Wing Chun, they just automatically assume it is muay thai, boxing etc. Too many casuals watching MMA these days.

Its foolish to say that any true martial art is useless in ufc, theyre all forms and movements of the human body. Everything I see in life is useful, it just depends on the situation. Tbh as of late I've been most impressed by Tai chi chuan movements, id love to see someone in ufc applying it.

I think ppl who only know Wing Chun cannot fight. But it is good for enhancing your skill set.

Everything can be implemented from any martial art and add to another one just like MMA mixed martial arts

Good video.

Chi Sau sticking hands is one of the most useful fighting skills Yes because its fantastic for setting up moves and its freely spontaneous what a joke if some one doesn't have these skill sets it exists in a crude form in some systems although they don't train it as a separate skill.

hubud? so more about kali/silat than wing chun?

This is very good teaching and extremely effective but yet haters put down Bruce Lee saying he wasn’t a real fighter when he was a master at this.

Great philosophy...every type of martial arts is a tool.. depending what tool you need for the job, you use..the more tools you have the more likely you'll be covered for ALL scenarios 😉

where is your school?

Wing Chun has always worked in ufc, it was banned from being your “main art” because of the brutality of some of the moves. Lot of throat, eye, and groin attacks. It was invented to be the ultimate self defense system in China, it’s idea was that anyone could use it, big, small, weak, or strong. It was invented by a woman and the art consists of using the proper angles and pressure points to your advantage.

Kung Fu is used all the time in MMA, by the definition of Kung Fu. Shaolin Quan is used too. Many of the techniques are seen in many martial arts.

“No, we’re just trapping 🔥💰💯”

Vincent Meng in the ufc

What gym are you at? It looks a little like mine.

IMO - a lot of martial arts can and do work. But we don't train them in a way that lets them be effective any more. Seeing stuff more and more like this where UFC is providing a place where we can get that back and incorporate some of these things in an effective way again.

That was awesome! Real application and not form based religion.

Great. Will practice before some idiot tries to challenge me to a fight again lol

Problem is that many kung fu teachers know the drills but they cannot apply it in a real situation because they have no experience or knowledge in that. They have good sales techniques only. Then people try to fight like they do during a training drill and they fail and then they say kung fu stinks. Sticky hands is just one drill, a game, to train specific skills. People do that game all day and then try to apply it from a long distance and without reap experience

It's about how one trains & he was innovative.

the best style for a muscleman is tai chi. Western boxing is tai chi used with a fist.

Came her looking for the "proves" portion of the video. It was nowhere to be found.

Like every martial art it only does well in combination with other martial arts, someone who has only trained in wing chun is going to fail in mma but that goes for bjj or muat thay aswel, we can’t give probs to any one martial art, it’s all mashed together now.

“Accept no style as your style……”

nice

Great video 😊

“I have a dream”, that one day someone; ANYONE from “internal martial arts” will FINALLY PLEASE 🙏 show its magnificence in popular setting like UFC type sports thus paving the way to another true revelation like Joyce Grace did with Jiujitsu! The world could possibly see such a tremendous change in paradigm comparative to some dragon ball z saiyan to super saiyan but in reality were just ONE BRAVE AND INTEGRAL INTERNAL MARTIAL ARTS PRACTITIONER TO STEP UP AND SHOW THE WORLD HOW REAL AND AWESOME IT IS! But alas, at present ALL OF THEM choose to remain in obscurity being called “fake” comfortably behind the barriers of their online seminars, NEVER EVER in a popular setting showing the reality to skeptics en mass. 😳🤦🏻‍♂️🙄/👌✌️🤲☝️😔
