Hello everyone.
I am the "boxer" they called.
It's a little embarrassed when I found this video on this channel.

I am not really a standard boxer.
I practiced some boxing skills in the university club and gym,
and participated in some small events. It was a 10 years ago.
Boxing, Kickboxing, power lift and weight lift are my favorite hobby.
Hobby means not my professional ability.
(And I have NOT learn about Wing Chun or any else Martial Art )
Now I am a dealer of sporting goods, NOT a boxer or athlete.

Qi La La is my friend and client.
This video was the second time we are meeting. (3 years ago)

He's really good Wing Chun fighter now.


Some people mentioned the weight of the glove and the attacking power.
You must know that my body weight more than Qi La La over 50 pounds.
And this is a friendly touch sparring, no kick, no throw.
we don't want any harm to appear. (This is not a safety area.)
Just like communicate in the different fighting style we are good at.
Fight for Which is the better between boxing or Wing Chun is not our purpose.

Props to the young man for getting outside his comfort zone and honing himself against other styles.

[jbatutegaming]

This wing Chun guy will be legend in the future. I'm calling it.

[LAVATORR]

Every time FCB does a Wing Chun sparring video it sounds like me praising a dog for going potty outside.

LOOK AT HIM USING FOOTWORK! GOOD BOY

HE'S KEEPING HIS CHIN DOWN THAT'S MY LITTLE CHAMPION YES HE IS. YES HE IS.

[callumbiasnow]

Respect to him for trying to test his art, no shame in that. And some of his techniques are legitimately working. No boxer goes in to a ring to spar and is instantly amazing, so the wing chun guy needs to keep sparing, taking the L and improving. Obviously wing chun has some big flaws, but there is definitely things that can be adapted to work and work well.

[Stratcatblue]

Traditional martial arts are very good for what they were intended for, that is overcoming the brute force of larger stronger attackers by redirecting force. But the stick and move, in and out, rapid combinations and defensive strategies of western boxing, there was nothing in the original Chinese playbook to prepare for that. That is why marital artists almost always get knocked out by good boxers.

[heavymeddle]

This little spar session makes me feel like there's a little bit life left in martial arts. This is what its supposed to be. Fun, friendly and not about killing each others. Respect

[sharpEdgeism]

I dig this, this kung fu bro is doing things in a really good way. I really like this guy, he comes across as chill and earnest.

[Xur______]

crazy to see how far Q iLa La has come!

[MrHFam-stni]

Yay, a Wing Chun person who can actually fight in a sparring session

[codforlife]

Respectful, intelligent, martial artists willing to explore, fail and learn from their mistakes. Keyboard warriors take note.

[GiaoLong-kkk]

This is the meaning of friendly sparring to improve skills, reaction, experiment not to win or beat each other. Good job

[LearnTrainPlay]

Wing chun has an effective range, its between boxing and grappling which makes it hard to close the distance and apply against good strikers with good footwork. Yes alternating stances when fighting is very common in wing chun.

[loliH]

Could this be the start of TMA's redemption arc?

[pogdog]

It is common to switch stances in wing chun like qi la la. This is done in some of the training drills.

[timbarry]

I imagine the wing chun guys review of his performance is in Mandarin or something. It would be great if you translated it. I'd love to know his thoughts. Thanks!

[Aniontedone]

Correct chain punching even when closing the gap involves entering the opponents space with three things, the step, the trapping motion and the attack simultaneously. Without these he will always be countered coming in.

[Hbrute]

Hey Jerry, to contribute to you question about switching stances, in WC we dont put importance on having a dominant side cause we want to be able to be proficient in both SP and ortho stances. Heres a tid bit, we do the forms starting with the left side first in order to become comfortable with a typically non dominant hand, therefore to be ambidextrous. Little side note, love what youre doing with your channel man. Happy to hear you root for the kung fu underdog, especially the wc guys. Im def the same way.

[AndreyKrichevsky]

There's actually footwork and angles training in Wing Chun. A lot of side steps and pivots to make sure you're out of the oponent's line of attack but he's still in yours. But this guy didn't really use it.
I also think that this type of friendly sparring is a much better way of testing and learning then going straight to a competitive fight. Remove the competition and reputation aspect and just keep the focus on the fight

[Imagenation]

I'm admiring this qi la la guy more and more. Ive seen some of his other vids and what he's doing shows greater humility than what any of the kung fu "grandmasters" (so-called) from mainland China are willing to put out. I guess that's the advantage of being a nobody who doesn't have the pressure of maintaining some mythical BS title for a living.
