Kirves Posted July 12, 2003 Posted July 12, 2003 counter, then go in. Actually it's more direct than that. It is "go in and counter while doing it" not the other way round. I heard wing chun punches with the outer 3 knuckles? middle, ring and pinky? wont that break your fingers? lol No it won't. They punch like that, because their whole punching technique is different. They don't generate power to their punches from the waist as in boxing or karate or other well known styles, but their power comes from the forward momentum of the whole body dashing forward and the punching arm is held at a specific angle in the middle line so that the body's momentum is correctly behind the punch. Using the two biggest knuckles would mean bending your wrist into an unnatural curve and it would break the technique.is there any major differences from traditional and modernized wing chun? The differences are mostly in the training methods. The modern systems include drills that teach fighting against the common boxing type attacks and so on. Also, many of the modern systems include what is called "Anti-grappling", i.e. a method of defending against takedowns. People have mixed ideas about wether or not it actually works against a skilled grappler.
