Personally, I prefer what the jackrabbits were doing.

That wasn't "anti grappling." Maybe slow chi-sau with grass stained knees?

Now to answer your second question, "anti-grappling" is just grappling with the objective of getting back into the striking range. It's best taught by a well trained grappler. And it only works as well as the grappling skills of the person using it. Unfortunately, that's not what is being packaged and sold. But this is a topic for another thread.

You're the one that keeps bringing it up all the time , no one else.
So maybe on some level I reckon you feel a little bit threatened by it don't you.
Go on admit it.

Actually Hanzou, the following clip illustrates the difference between very basic self-defense grappling and "anti-grappling" as taught to beginners. If you pay attention to the finishing strategies Stephan outlines from around 3:00 to 3:20 where he explains that instead of the grappler's solution of going to the armbar, you may prefer to disengage and run, or stay on top and finish with punches. These are more practical solutions for a person whose primary experience is in a striking art. In otherwords, "anti-grappling".


BTW, if you care to continue this discussion, I'm starting a thread on this topic on the Wing Chun forum. You are welcome to join us. --Steve

Threatened? No.

More saddened then anything else.

In Wing Chun our motto is to hit the opponent with everything but the kitchen sink.

But when the aforementioned kitchen sink is within reach , we tend to make an exception and hit em with that as well.
