using wc against a boxer

[shotokanwarrior]

any good ideas how wing chun can be used against a good boxer, one that has good combos, footwork and ducking/slipping? no kicking below the waist.

Your own sig says it all!

You do not have to out fight someone just out smart them.

Simply put, don't box a boxer. Make him fight you on your terms.

If you use what you've learnt properly (meaning effectively), and have a stronger will you will beat him.

That is to say that if he uses what he's learnt properly (meaning effectively) and has a stronger will he will beat you.

Kicking helps... Though this sounds like a sport situation, not my cup-o-tea.

He won't hold his arms out like you might be used to because he's not trying to make bridge contact. When he punches, it'll be in combos and he'll pull his arm right back after he punches. Trapping is going to be difficult so you'd probably be better of just keeping your guard by your face.

I guess I should add that trying to trap his jabs is a bad idea, too... his right hand is likely going to be right behind them.

Chainpunshing and keep advancing, when you make contact don't let fall in bonsau but be hard en push through.

I mean you don't need to go to tansau or bonsau when you make contact, only do it when you fight another WT practioner. + Something important your goal is to hit, not trap him, first hit and keep hitting, if you can trap him it's good, but don't seek for it, just hit him.

Somebody mentioned that he would throw combos, any fighter should throw combos, 1 attack and retreat is stupid.

[NotQuiteDead]

Charging straight forward all the time isn't a great idea, either, especially while chain punching. You're just leaving your face open for hooks, and he'll just keep trying to sidestep, slip, etc.

[Thaegen]

Hmm not realy, You start chainpunching from the moment the first punch is thrown, When the contact is made, you are in a better position. But it is to difficult to explain. I will try to make some short clip this weekend, how I a would I try to do it. It will explain it much better.

I've done chain punching before, but if you're just going in a straight line then the boxer will simply box. He'll move to the side and counter.
