One thing I'm curious about is wing chun's improvisation aspects. All the moves that I normally see are from the frontal attack/defense ready positions.
While I'm aware that this is where many fights begin, what about those unfortunate times when one finds themself grabbed from behind, sucker punched from the side or rear, or grabbed on the collar when they're sitting down?
I know I bring it up often, but I must say that kenpo karate seems to have some very paractical solutions to these dilemmas. I believe this is due to the jujitsu/ chin na element that exists within kenpo.
I do want to clarify that I'm not saying that wing chun has no solutions to such problems; I'm stating that I've not yet seen moves that address these areas.
Does wing chun have a substantial chin na element? I remember hearing Randy Williams talk about a rarely practiced ground fighting element to the art.
Could someone inform me?
Thanks,
Spartan
