What precisely is wrong with wing chun?
I'm not posting a style bashing thread, if you don't have specifics don't post. If you can't back it up please don't post.
My aim is analytical, to see if the endless criticism of this style has something behind it other than YouTube videos.
What are the unrealistic techniques?
Which tactics don't work?
What is wrong with its body mechanics?
And most importantly, why?
If you don't know why, don't post.
I don't believe there is anything particularly wrong with wing chun. I think any maist who wants to fight other styles needs to train away from his art and spend time working out how to counter that which is unfamiliar.
The wc losses I have seen were usually down to being overly rigid and not understanding the impact of body movement. Both pretty easy mistakes That come with a lack of experience and neither are things that are style specific to my knowledge.
But it seems that there are a significant number who feel that the art is fundamentally flawed. I would like to understand this.
