I love at 2:22 I can hear you doing the chain punches in the air as you say it lmao

[Saviohno]

Hey guys, here's some extra context as a Hong Konger. At the start of the match it said WC guy is from 趙學賢詠春拳會 which is a legit WC school from Wong Shun Leung lineage. The students there have won a lot of Sanda and Muay Thai competitions here in HK, so this isn't that surprising. Wether he used WC I dunno, but he's definitely a WC practitioner

[ssths]

what im seeing, is a wing chun guy who has figured out that you can use the arm movements from wing chun defense, in order to throw strikes.
Like, it still looks like the wing chun straight punch, but its done off center line, and the way he moves his shoulder blades and elbows when punching, looks like how you apply pressure when youre doing the different sau movements.

[redrenegade]

Jerry, those kicks are perfectly acceptable to any wing chunner who has a traditional kung fu base. This idea that wing chun only has the oblique kick or straight front kick needs to end!

[wrz-rnzu]

That's definitely Wing Chun!
In Wing Chun, we DO have hook（抽撞锤）and swing（横撞锤）, but most practicers ingnores them.
This Wingchun guy alternated straight punches with hooks and swings in a chain punch attack, which is a quite smart way to avoid the extra defence provided by gloves

[martialgeeks]

Oh My God, why do we still have comments "nOt rEaL wINg cHun" Fighting should Look Like Fighting, wing chun people who spar know what they're looking at

[EzeHSK]

Great fight! I think the WC guy is throwing more hooks because he knew the muay thai guy would have a more solid defense against jabs So instead of chaining straight punches he chained hooks and it worked. And at the end of the day what makes a great fighter I believe is knowing how to adapt to your opponent with the tools that you have.

Because 99.999% of Wing Chun people have zero clue.

[TheMisterGuy]

I like both, FCB! It's sometimes a nice surprise when I don't know which way it's going to go.

[mervinmarias]

Seeing his cardio and ability to vary his strikes, I believe he has some kickboxing skills alongside his wing chun. There's nothing wrong with that and it should be the foundation of any fighter.

[CharlesBetancourt-iqoe]

Looks more like wingchun/ choy li fut. Good fighter. How old is the footage?

[NostalgicTribe]

i couldnt figure out which one was doing wing chun. LOL for real. It just normal punches

[kevinlobos]

Yea this guy probably mixed his training with something else, but there's some wing chun principles in there, he is constantly blitzing in, keeping the pressure on and he completely overwhelmed the oponent during the entire match thanks to it. His use of basically only hooks was a good choice too since his oponent raised a very front heavy guard all match, which didn't protect his sides, so throwing punches down the middle would be throwing punches at his guard which makes no sense.
Wing chun guy just capitalized on the mistake over and over to beat him up. It's weird that the judges declared it a draw. It was very clearly a heavily one sided match.

Honestly, that didn't even look like Wing Chun at all. When have we ever seen Wing Chun guys constantly throwing hooks?

[AztecUnshaven]

Jerry have you not ever had a chance to see WSL Wing Chun student Jai Harman in action? He whooped a Thai boxer in sparring, and easily held his own sparring in multiple sport formats, including boxing only, and MMA rules.

[JL-stjf]

Been watching your commentary since back in the Xu Xiaodong days when he exposed and challenged other chinese martial art styles. Good channel. Keep it up!! 👍👊💪

[viobull]

Wing Chun guy realized if you're going to play, you have to play with the right moves. Trying to use Wing Chun with Boxing gloves is like trying to play Hockey with a Golf Club. You can kind of make it work, but it looks terrible.

[TruNorth]

Well he's got the continuous pressuring concept right and it really is more about the concept

[jasonkurtrix]

I know this not related to video. I had went and watched choy li fut training, what i see is basic warm up and from I see is basically Chinese Muay thai. I would like said I am not part of the group or a student.
