ChuteBoxeRocks,
Real mature. Considering this is a message board you could say a lot of shit. The truth is, if you get your rocks off acting like a bad ass to a sixteen year old, then maybe you should go back to giving little nerds in school the shakedown instead of training in MA, because you don't have the discipline it takes. Nevertheless, I'm far from concerned and if I do make a trip maybe I'll stop by.
In response to the other comments:
It still confuses the hell out of me how people can bash a style they know very little about. I sound like a broken record, and I'm even annoying myself for all the times I've said this. Nevertheless, people cease to amaze me with how arrogant and ignorant they can be about certain things.
To look at pure traditional Wing Chun and call it ring effective is ridiculous -- I agree. I'll give you all that much. But I don't understand how you can actually deny any part of Wing Chun any usefulness. Did my comment about Wing Chun fighting strategies being successfully used in both kickboxing and MMA fights just go completely unnoticed? Seems to me this factor woud disprove the theory that Wing Chun is utterly useless in every sense of the word.
My Sifu is Sifu Anthony Arnett of Jacksonville, FL. Thankfully I was lucky enough to come across an instructor who took note of the fact that traditional Wing Chun isn't ring effective and modified it for point and full-contact fighting purposes, forrming a competitive offspring he calls "Cheung Style Sport Kung-Fu." It's extremely similar to kickboxing and includes the fighting strategies and concepts presented within the system of Wing Chun (William Cheung's lineage.) Roll punches (aka straight blast or chain punching) are included in its criteria as well as a plethora of kicks. So out of the "99.9999etc.%" of McDojo Sifu's in Wing Chun as you claimed, I am confident I am the result of a decent instructor whose head isn't in the clouds.
