I am going to take some Wing Chun classes pretty soon. Is there any Wing Chun masters on rollitup? Seems like a good learner experience physically and mentally.
Hey, Budsmoker! I took martial arts for decades, but started with Wing Chun. It is a bad ass art, and a great foundation on which to build your fighting skills (Bruce Lee based his fighting on it). It'll teach you sensitivity (the only known MA created by a woman, a nun), and by that I mean that you'll feel what your opponent is going to do next and can anticipate it. You'll also learn the trapping range of fighting, which I think is the most effective because very few outside of Wing Chun practitioners know how to fight in this range (the four ranges being kicking, punching, trapping and grappling). Plus, there's not much fluff: other arts have showy forms (katas), high kicks, flowery rituals, etc.. Only a few, simple forms in Wing Chun, and no high kicks You'll ultimately want to go outside WC to learn grappling, because almost all real fights end up on the ground (I used to bounce at some rough places, so believe me). Have fun, and good luck...I am going to take some Wing Chun classes pretty soon. Is there any Wing Chun masters on rollitup? Seems like a good learner experience physically and mentally.

Bruce Lee did Jeet Kun Do.
Bruce Lee created Jeet Kune Do, and founded it as a martial art, he studied Kung Fu, and of the several styles he pulled from Wing chun was a memberBruce Lee did Jeet Kun Do.
Yes, he pulled from many arts for JKD, but his first MA studied was Wing Chun. He studied WC longer and more intensively than any other art...Bruce Lee did Jeet Kun Do.
the point i mean to make is that wing chun is one of many forms of kung or gung fu, and yes wing chun is the foundation for all of bruce lees training, hoever even among wing chun.Yes, he pulled from many arts for JKD, but his first MA studied was Wing Chun.
