    No.
    Rationale: You’re looking for “self defense,” which means you want to learn enough to protect yourself, not to be a professional UFC fighter or anything. So, pick one style, learn it. Jack of all trades, master of none. If you’re attacked on the street, chances are the altercation will be over in less than a minute, so you don’t need to have a thousand different techniques in your head. Just one or two that you can do really well. I study Karate, and all of the old Masters knew only one or two Kata, or style. But, instead of the kata collectors you see in Karate today, these men knew their one Kata, knew what it meant for fighting, and analized each move with scrutiny. They had one style, and were known as “Masters” because they won actual fights.
    So, pick one, any of them as they’re all good martial arts, and get good at it.
    If however, you see yourself fighting in MMA in the future, I’d take (or those 3) Jiu Jitsu and Boxing.

    Hmm it’s a bit of a mixed bag. BJJ would be extremely effective for ground work. The only flaw I can see is the boxing and win chun may contradict each other when it comes to stand up fighting. In boxing you try to keep your opponent at arms length whereas with win chun you need to be close to your opponent to unleash the moves. You would be torn between which style to use. I think you would be better doing Thai boxing which incorporates elbows, knees kicking and punching and BJJ and forget about the win chun.

    Yes, I think so. You would have 3 of the 4 stages of combat covered. Punching – Boxing. Trapping – Wing Chun, and Grappling – BJJ. I would recommend getting a good foundation in one Art before moving to the next however.
