spinninggumby Posted February 23, 2002 Posted February 23, 2002 If you are currently taking Muay Thai and it is indeed doing nothing for you, then by all means I feel that you should try Wing Chun. Just because Muay Thai has proven to be quite effective with many people doesn't mean that it will sit well or mold well with everyone. Who knows, you may find Wing Chun to be more of your liking and taste, and your body may adapt to it better as well. Plus wing chun seems to be a bit deeper than Muay Thai (although not necessarily more effective, effectiveness of the art is primarily up to the practitioner IMHO for the billionth time ) so you will have more to work with (more drills, techniques, etc.) when you begin your study and training. All I'm saying is that it can't hurt to try, especially if you do not feel you are getting any or much benefit out of the martial art that you are currently taking. Don't limit yourself.

YODA Posted February 24, 2002 Posted February 24, 2002 lol! bALLERINA lol! What most fail to realise is that a top level ballerina trains a damned site harder than most of us martial artists. It reqires discipline, dedication & years of HARD work. We could learn a lot from their dedication & work ethic.

Shaolin Posted February 24, 2002 Posted February 24, 2002 Wing Chun is pleanty flashy in terms of giving off a *wow factor*.. Blitzing an enemy with 5 hits per second while you control and *hold them up* is quite amazing. Wing Chun was designed, if you believe the story, to be the key that unlocks all other Shaolin styles, it was also designed to be learned fast - never doubt it's effectiveness. It is, of course, also 100% street ready and loaded with parries. Jim Moy Yat Ving Tsun Rest in peace: Moy Yat Sifu
