In this article I will tell you why your Wing Chun doesn't work,What misunderstanding do you have in practicing Wing Chun.
The first thing I want to talk is:“Does the Wing Chun technique you've learned useful?”
This was a headline news about two Wing Chun masters were battered by MMA figher Mr. Xu and Boxer Mr.Xiong. Mr.Xiong beated a Wing Chun master only with one hand.
So those are the questions:“Why Wing Chun doesn't work?”and “Does the Wing Chun technique you've learned useful?”
Someone said the reason is there were rules, but I don't think so. To answer these questions,some basic knowledge you must know.
To measure whether a person can fight, the following factors need to be considered:
Yat chi chung kuen(straight punch of Wing Chun)is for training,not for fighting.
You can use straight punch as the main offense,but straight punch is not powerful enough.
You must have this question. Why can't Chi sau skills be used in actual combat?
In the next article I want to start showing the difference between the real Wing Chun training and the common Wing Chun training one motion by one notion.

Someone said the reason is there were rules, but I don't think so. To answer these questions,some basic knowledge you must know.
To measure whether a person can fight, the following factors need to be considered:
1-bold
What I mean is:Never be afraid when fighting even if you haven't been trained.
There is a saying in China:"first-bold,second-power,third-technique". Think about it by yourself,are you scared when you fight? if you are, I bet you must lose no matter if you've been trained.How can you not be afraid? You must go through actual combat training.
I don't care if Mr.Yu(Red guy) is a Wing Chun master or not,according to his motions I know he must be scared when he was fighting.He lowered his head over and over again when Mr.Xiong punched him. In this situation,no one can fight with right techniques.
2-Kung Fu
Anything that you must spend a lot of time and keep hard working on to get improvement I call that Kung Fu.
A very simple example,you hit your opponent on his face but did not cause any harm to him,that means you have no Kung Fu.
For Wing Chun Practitioners, what you've learned such as Tan Sau,Paak Sau are just techniques,not Kung Fu. You have to practice your Kung Fu ,like powerful punches, fast speed, good reactions etc. And these will spend your lots of time even years.

this is Kung Fu
3-Fighting experiences
Do you have enough fighting experiences? Ask this question to yourself.
Real fighting experience will let you know the advantages and disadvantages of yours,leads you to the right way of training.
Never say you can fight if you don't have any experience of real fight.
4-Height and Weight and age
No need to talk too much about Height and Weight and age.
4-Height and Weight and age
No need to talk too much about Height and Weight and age.
Now let me answer the question:“Why Wing Chun doesn't work?”and “Does the Wing Chun technique you've learned useful?”
The answer is Wing Chun do work,but you do not work.
The Wing Chun technique you've learned will be useful If you are bold enough and you have very good Kung Fu and have much enough experiences.
No matter which kind of Wing Chun techniques you've been trained,think about these when you are ready to fight with someone:"Am I bold enough? Is my Kung Fu better than his? Am I have more experiences than he has?" then you will know if you can win the fight or can not.
But!
I must talk to you,the real Wing Chun technique gives you a big opportunity to win,and the common Wing Chun technique which lots of people are training gives you a big opportunity to lose.
Why lots of Wing Chun teachers call themselves as a successor?
How do you feel when you watch this video?
The black man in the video call himself as a third-successor of Ip Man! He also is a Famous Martial arts master of Chinese Martial arts association.I can tell you that you can beat him easily anytime.
According to my research,I found there are 2 reasons of why there are so many successors in the world.
1-They don't know what the real Wing Chun is and don't know how to become a real successor.
Only few people know what the real Wing Chun is, those "successors" never know about that,so they believe that what they've learned is the real Wing Chun and they practiced very well,so they call themselves as successor,but they have no ideas about what the real successor should be.
2- It would be easy to get students or get money with a title of successor.
Lot of Wing Chun teachers call themselves as successor just for make money,these kind of “successors”are everywhere,they use the social media to promote themselves and many people who want to learn Wing Chun find those information and be attracted by videos or photos and go to their schools.
Or these kind of “successors”pay a lot of money to a sort of famous Wing Chun organization to buy a title back. Can you believe that, they will get a certification, and tell people“look, I am a real successor because I have that certification".
If you are following this kind of successor, congratulations,your Wing Chun will never work in real fight.
Yat chi chung kuen(straight punch of Wing Chun)is for training,not for fighting.
straight punch
Every Wing Chun practitioner practice straight punch,it's helpful and it's good.
For the real Wing Chun technique,there are another two different straight punches,and there are side punch and hook also.
Almost all of Wing Chun practitioners don't know that, they only use straight punch(I mean Yat chi chung kuen)as punch skill in the fight .It is fast but can not cause too much damage especially when you and your opponent are moving.
That is one of the misunderstandings of Wing Chun fighting.
Talk something about Chi sau(Sticking hands)
It is the biggest misunderstanding of Wing Chun.
Chi sau(sticking hands)just a way of training,but most of Wing Chun practitioners pay too much attention to it. They practice Chi sau every day.
No need to find videos or photos of Chi sau, they are everywhere.
Ip Man taught lots of Chi sau skills to his students because he had to teach something to his students.Chi sau was the best choice,looks very cool and students liked it.
You must have this question. Why can't Chi sau skills be used in actual combat?
I just find a video from the Internet.
can you find any Chi sau skill in this?
If your ShiFu teach you how to play Chi sau everyday and digs very deep in Chi sau, it goes to show that your ShiFu..........(you know what I want to say)
Go and find Wing Chun videos on YouTube, you will find almost every video tells you how to play Chi sau and how to fight with Chi sau.
Now I believe you have known about why your Wing Chun doesn't work in real fight, if you are following a “successor”and training nothing but Chi sau everyday and you only can use straight punch for fighting and you don't have enough blod, Kung Fu, experiences,your Wing Chun will never work.
