I did caught that part... really hit home. So much knowledge to be shared hereI hope you at least read the important discussion of the value of peas vs. beans.
When you spar, especially if you spar against other styles, do you adjust or modify your guard and techniques or do you work from the classical back-weighted stance, facing your opponent squarely with hands held in a man-wu-sau position extending out from center-line?
And how do you move? Are you constantly moving and evasive or do you try to find or create an opening and explode straight forward?
I usually want to attack first to gain entry and control. So i walk up to opponent with my gaurds out. But i dont hold my guards stagnant, i move them back and forth to keep my opponent looking at them into get into range. The moving of the guards back and forth serves as distance manipulator. Once i am in striking range i start kicking while gaining a bridge by punching right down the middle
There's a lot of videos on that too. They are generally quite short.Seems like a lot of straight lines and linear movement, what if you meet a counter attacker, who moves in a non linear way?

I enjoyed the video, I liked how the WC guy grew into the fight, and finished it with a nice kick, also how he kept his form. However, in WC there is the common misconception, that a straight line always beats a curved line, whilst in theory this is true, in practice this only works in certain situations. I found the following short video on YouTube, which demonstrates my point, I would be interested in your opinion on the video, before I ask about the vulnerability of leg attacks, to the WC guy in your video.When you fight eventually you have move in linear. Even Baquazhang guys have to fight linear. An if your trying to walk in a circle around me it leaves you open.
Would you say this is a good video on that
Yes, and he ( the karate)is trying to out punch someone with a considerably greater reach, and he going for head kicks which is where his arms are and he has no guard, kick low, bring the hand down and then hit himSort of sure. In reverse.
Guy in the gi throws nothing but straight punches down the middle where no-gi guys hands are. The classic man/wu guard is quite effective if everything comes down the middle, especially if they are the sort of weak arm punches you see in most TMA.

I notice the boxer has several inches of reach on the wing Chun guy. Even if their respective skill levels are equal, that reach gives the boxer a critical advantage. The video really shows nothing decisive.I enjoyed the video, I liked how the WC guy grew into the fight, and finished it with a nice kick, also how he kept his form.

I think by your own admission, " that reach gives the boxer a critical advantage" in this situation it did show something desisive. WC is excellent at close quarter fighting but can struggle with distance and non linear fighters, the video I posted was not to rubbish WC, but in response to Yoshiyahu's post, about he would back his opponent up, take control, or step on his opponents foot, how would a WC practioner achieve that against the boxer in the video, I would not of thought a good WC fighter would loose to every fighter who had a reach advantage, and countered with a curved over the top strike.I notice the boxer has several inches of reach on the wing Chun guy.

I don’t feel it showed anything with regard to boxing vs. wing Chun. It showed a fellow with a serious reach advantage can have an easier time of it. It showed a match between two people and does not indicate anything of boxing vs. wing Chun. This is one example only, not any kind of sample from which to extract further meaning.I think by your own admission, " that reach gives the boxer a critical advantage" in this situation it did show something desisive.

most of these wc against xxx contests seem to have the wing chun guy at a size, weight, age didadvantage, on of the few exceptions being the vid above where the wc guy did well against a karate man,,I don’t feel it showed anything with regard to boxing vs. wing Chun.

I don’t feel wing Chun struggles outside of short range. I have never really understood how people even define short vs. long range in terms of hand techniques. Everyone has a limit to their reach, that much is true and is defined by their body size. But beyond that, technique is technique.
I like to keep my hands in cover, ie; back hand beside the jaw, forward hand 6 inches or so forward and to the side of the other jaw.(boxers guard).What guard or guards do you use now?
