Hi there! I'm new to this Forum. I was looking for some inside from some fellow Wing Chun practitioner.
Since I was mentioned in the Challenge from Rokas I got a lot of comments to say the least.
Most of them are from people in other martial arts which do not know the system and think I adapted or modified the stile to make it work. And others are from Wing Chun practitioner who think that it's not Wing Chun at all. Both are wierd to me, since I've never done anything other than Wing Chun the way I learned it. I mean, I see a clear difference to other lineages and I already knew that Applied Wing Chun is kind of an outlier, but everything I do is as far as I know just WC.
As I mentioned to Rokas, I was confused when I visited other schools and saw no conditioning, timing drills and so on. I don't get how anybody is supposed to learn apply WC without proper the training.
I see a lot of WC guys try to apply basic stuff without success since their timing, distance and foremost handling of pressure is way of. Also most seem to lack any strategy for recovering. Which is no wonder since I saw how WC is usually taught.
I think the training methodology is key to learning effective WC. Solid fundation from the forms, footwork, knowledge of how to generate power, basic applications, back and forth drills with pressure testing and light sparring goes a long way without having to compete in real fights.
I don't think everybody has to become a price fighter but at least everybody should have a feeling for timing, distance and how to handle some pressure.
So what does your training methodology look like? I'm honestly curious how other make sure that they are able to apply their WC.

but this particular fight was a mess. Wasn't really ready for the fight since I accepted it way to late. Forgot to kick somehow. Idk.
