This statement is pure nonsense. Pak sau means "slapping parry".A WC guy does trapping not parries
Trapping is only if there is a rare opportunity for it.
, sticks to his opponent.. doesn't let him breath, goes forward hitting all the time to not give him a chance. All that is the idea at least. Strickland didn't do WC man
That's is largely the strategy for a self defence scenario yes, when the attacker is coming forward with full intent, and you blitz finish them quickly.
It's obviously not going to work like that in a 20 foot ring where there is space to move in and out, and you need to find your opening. So it would need to be adapted.
I have suggested the term 'hybrid Wing Chun Boxing' as the closest approximation to what he is doing, and a template for any serious Wing Chun fighter to apply a similar approach. You need some skills from finding range and openings. Closing the range with pressure to make it a close quarter fight which is what he did is one way to achieve this.
That wasn't the argument no. If you have the patience to go through the thread you will find the argument and attempts to dispute it, and the responses going back and forth from multiple angles. I fully stand by my position and believe it is self evident at this point.Very late to the conversation, but as I mentioned earlier I used to fight for the same gym as him and I can assure you guys, he is not cross training wing chun. I don't know if that was argument, but if it was, he definitely is not.
