How Would You Beat A Wing Chun Master?

8 Comments

I ask myself this alot, Wing Chun masters, if you fight them in stand up battle only, how can you beat them? unless your a wing chun master to, but i mean if its not that, wing chun practicioners learn how to counter evry strike. So un less your gonna run at them and tackle them to the ground, what tactic would you use to beat a wc practicioner. Personaly i would trow sidekicks above the hips, because I have never seen any videos or anythign showing wc practicioner countering sidekciks, only roundhouses. And I guess it would be hard to counter a sidekick. Briefly, what would you do, if you could only youse strikes* no savage run at takedowns*

    Wing Chun is so effective because we never ask those questions we just do it. Wing Chun is a science, it is not for sparing or for playing. Wing Chun is not a sport, it is a true martial art with only one objective without holding back. I did 30 different martial arts and since my big thing was always JKD I am back at its roots. If you will think (involve your logic) on how to beat wing chun master, it is already too late, you got hit. In a fight it should just happan the easiest and the fastest way possible. So, to beat wing chun, learn it, analyze it… if you get this far, you will be adicted to it… :)

    Wing Chun masters try to control the center line and deflect and redirect you, they love to stay in front of you.You can attack below the knees, try to take them to the ground,or use Ba-Gua tech and circle around them and attack from the side or rear.

    Well I would use throws. Wing Chun generaly fights at close distances. Throwing techniques are useful when your really close. However since we’re talking about striking only; as a Karate practitioner I would play the waiting game since Wing Chun has strong counter attacks; make the Wing Chun master attack, and wait for a single opening where you can capitalize, and go for a knock out.

    Befriend them and make them your ally…..
    But if we are just talking about friendly sparring…..lol
    Remember, just because you may not see a sidekick counter, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. A sidekick is one of the more common kicks, so I’m sure there exists a counter or two.
    A straight stand up fight….depends on how you fight really. But how I fight, I tend to want to keep people away so I can use my feet. Since Wing Chun is a more close up fighting style, keep them at a distance as much as possible. But becareful because your Wing Chun master might also know other styles of martial arts.
    Every attack has a counter to it. The question is, are you good enough to employ the counter/evade/block?
    In the end, its about skill level and who’s “on” on that particular day of sparring/fighting.

    Knee to the groin maybe, it would really depend on the person I’m fighting though. Their movements, “tells” .

    That’s easy. Head kicks. I do wing chun myself and know for a fact that a. we do little kicking and most of our art is in-close hand work. If you can keep a distance from me and manage to have some great kicks then you can beat me easily. It is damaging to the person recieving the kick EVEN IF IT IS BLOCKED if the kick is high. Unless you can dodge the kick then getting kicked in the hands by a black belt in TKD freaking hurts really bad… but you don’t get KO’d heh which is good. This is what Mirko Filipovic does and how he beats a lot of fist strikers. He takes them out before they can strike with his ultra fast and super powerful kicks. Wing chun is very good at defending low and medium kicks but honestly high kick defense is the arts weakness i believe, from experience. Muay Thai for example teaches probably the best high kick defense.

    ive fought with kung fu guys before, the ones ive battled stand up only seem to have difficulties if you break your rhythm and speed consantly while boxing and throw combos, they have strong blocks for one move but ofen will open themselves for other shots. and you can throw roundhouses you just need to catch him with a thai style kick to make him lose balance so even if he blocks, u can combo up and go in for the kill. and remember to attack at angles instead of straight on.

    Boxing has the answer to WC. It’s called the ‘hook’. It’s how you hit someone who is always coming straight in.
    Most WC ‘masters’ have never tested their skills anyways, I wouldn’t worry about it. It’s very nice looking, but ultimately you will never fight one, and if you did, you wouldn’t see any WC in the fight.
