Wing Chun Posted March 31, 2003 Posted March 31, 2003 hello everyone, ive been surfing these boards for a while now but this is my first post. i hope no one gets my wrong by my name (i thought someone would have it so i kinda typed it in seeing wot would happen) i mean i do love my art and therefore am going to think its superior to other arts in most aspects but i dont have a narrow minded view i like to listen to other opinions, the theory behind JKD is one that i belive in. i see it as in having a solid base martial art a primary one if u wnat with other useful skills. anyway i just wanted to know wot art you lot think would be good with Wing Chun. i felt bjj or some other grappling art would be the perfect compliment for it. so wot u lot think?
Kaju_influenced Posted April 1, 2003 Posted April 1, 2003 Well i currently have a student that practices wing chun kuen and i found that he was binded to his style I.E stances postures movements which is fine but limits him to his own abilities. I have practiced several arts in my short time here on earth and ive found wing chun as a great art but it seems to lack a range of aspects concerning lets say sparring. I am currently practicing kajukenbo which is a mixture of several martial arts devised to be able to deal with any street fight situation. In my journey to better my arts ive found that balance is most important I.E kajukenbo for its no BS approach to violece,JKD for its ranging and concept fighting,capoeira for its tremendous dynamics and gung fu for its circular movements not to mention a heep of philosophy to better ones character, all these i have practised and find them very fullfilling so u see it depends on ur needs as a MA. I can only say one thing to help u my friend "Follow your heart and open your mind, and you too will see the way". KEEP TRAINING AND ALWAYS WORK HARD AT IT! "Sweat more in the dojo,bleed less in the street"Kajukenbo fighters axiom.
JohnnyS Posted April 1, 2003 Posted April 1, 2003 When I ran a BJJ school I had quite a few wing chun instructors learning BJJ and they all loved it.
