Do you think it's helpful for MMA?
A friend of mine told me that wing chun will give me a great basis of counter blocking boxers or any karat

It's a fucking joke and for you to be posters in the standup and actually discuss it seriously makes me reconsider reading this forum ever again.
Pick up boxing, wing chun is flawed and you can tell why if you've ever sparred at 80% or harder.
This is the truth, but trying to convince Kungfutards is futile.
I guess they'll learn if they ever get in the ring, but since their sifu keeps telling them WC is TOO DEALDY FOR COMPETITION, they'll probably never learn.
Also, BEHOLD THE POWER OF WC:

Seriously, just read up on the stuff on bullshido. it sucks, and the people there aren't afraid to challenge you to a fight to prove it.
I'm still waiting for a non shady, non demonstration video of WC actually being applied to a resting opponent at full speed and working. I haven't seen one yet.
Also, Bruce Lee ditched WC and then proceeded to repeatedly badmouth it in interviews, BTW.
LMAO! THAT VIDEO WAS HILARIOUS!
Self defense is most time efficient and effective in the form of a gun.
Yes, its a funny video! But keep in mind that back in early UFC days (1 through 7 I think). People will come up to fight with fake records, so that people would think that these guys were true masters. For example, Kimo was saying that he was a 3rd degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do, but he wasnt.
wing chun is an art i have practiced over many years and feel it has given me a lot of benefits. I now train it very rarely however as its not effective for mma and thats what im training for.
someone said earlier thta fook sau is useless, i love fook sau, and know from people expericne that its great in working the door.
what i like about it is it can be used to have a great thai clinch, just take that fook sau and put it up on their neck, if u can feel through ur forearm what ur opponents gonna do u can do more to stop him getting out the clinch and use his movement to bring him off balance and bring him into knees.
from my experience, wing chun practitioner are rushing "belforts" but with no power whatsoever in their punches (whereas belfort must have a LOT of it)
A lot of traditional Martial Arts have lost their applicability through hundreds of years of combat progression and evolution. It is very possible that WC used to be an effective artform, and that one in the street could protect himself knowing soley that martial art. I'm not even disputing a WC practioner vs. a person on the street that knows nothing, they will probably win.
The thing that sucks about WC is that we have found artforms that are more effective in all aspects of WC. American boxing with counter punching, Muay Thai with counter kicks, Judo for throws, and BJJ/GrecoRoman/Sambo for submissions and grapplin.
IMO I would almost never be afraid of a WC practioner. It's not like I am discrediting their hardwork and effort, but to be honest, their misconceptions about actual fighting is usually way off hilter. They are worse then people on the street because they think they have a developed sense of fighting, when in reality the "sparring" they have looks more like drills than anything else.
Don't do it. American boxing, muay thai, BJJ, Judo, even TKD and Karate are more applicable to reality.
