Boxing Vs Wing Chun Which Is Better?

A lot of times, you will hear boxers say that Wing Chun does not work. However, they often utilize trapping techniques while in the ring or during sparring. Trapping involves briefly immobilizing an opponent's limbs to create a momentary opportunity for striking when they are unable to defend themselves. This technique effectively eliminates your opponent's defensive barriers. Wing Chun specializes in controlling the centerline and employing trapping techniques. Although Wing Chun is considered a traditional martial art, trapping and seizing an opponent's center can also be observed in various sport martial arts such as boxing. Kevin Goat discusses how boxers incorporate trapping into their strategies and suggests that the two disciplines should collaborate instead of competing against each other.

I feel that a hybrid system is the way to go, but people just do what you are comfortable with and look at combat sports to see what is effective versus just cool technique with iffy results. Always feel this channel and Kevin's solo specifically, do a good job of this. Giving options 👌

Trapping is also a thing in Filipino Martial Arts, just done outside angles

1:40 his going to destroy that open liver. Game Over.
If that technique has any application what so ever it's not that side.
However I would argue in the opposite side will still end bad with hard punch on the ribs followed by knockout punch to the chin

Now try it with a real opponent who is not standing still but fighting

Always thought a style composed of both boxing and wing chun would be dangerous.

Master can I suggest to apply a sweeping techique in this exercise? Another great video as always

Love traditional wing chun lap sao, especially, when it's in Ip man's movies, and you can even see that lap sao, in the movie the legend is born - Ip Man

It would be interesting to see you try this approach against a half decent boxer real time, not a compliant demo. And by the way most of wing chuns principles work fine with boxing gloves, jut, huen, gum, tan, lan, pak, jum, fuk all work just fine under pressure. Lap sao isn’t the only tool in wing chun…

They are both there such catch and shoot...watch Floyd it's all a matter styles that have the constant changes...

[martialgeeks]

Wing chun is both overrated and underrated, thanks for being realistic with it though, your videos are some of the best wing chun application tutarials

Very good video! The biggest downfall in a “fight” between Wing Chun vs Boxing is the opposite perspective on fighting. Wing Chun practitioners don’t by default have the stamina or strength to compete in a boxing match; especially considering that kicks elbows and finger strikes are forbidden. But in a street fight, unless it’s’ make believe it is even worse. But here is the real conundrum. The Boxer Rebellion is what prompted growth and investment into Boxing and Wrestling/BJJ. Wing Chun is the advanced Kung fu so master to master in a school setting there is a definite learning curve that Wing Chun has over Boxing.

I like this video explaining the mitt issue. A good approach towards shared learning, which Master Wong promotes, is practice sparring both with gloves then after practice Wing Chun techniques of trapping and hand wrist to elbow block and strikes.❤

But u forget one very important concept. Boxers fight in the ring every day. They learn controlled aggression. And have the guts to fight. Wing chun never fight .2 things will happen. They will either freeze up or loose there . Cool. They simply won't have the heart.

[kamikazi]

I know how boxers train to develop knockout power and you can see it in action.I’ve never seen a wing chun person knock anyone out and how does wing chun train for power punching

[Jupiterxice]

Coming from my boxing experience our foot work and ability to catch opponents timing makes up lethal. So I advise wing chun guys learn from pro boxers first.

For the street WC is geared at maiming and deleting people, not punching them. All or nothing, now or never. 5-second fights. If it gets to 10 seconds then you're not being aggressive enough. Or you're in over your head. That's not at all unique to WC, either.

For the ring sports where there are gloves and limitations on targets, using straight WC just about can't work regardless of the skill level. Adding in some centerline and *multiple trapping combinations* to a striker's game has some potential benefit in a controlled environment in the ring. But there's definitely a point of diminishing returns when the rules don't allow to follow the sequence to the end. An MMA fighter wouldn't have much use for anything other than some basics into the low intermediate levels. Better ROI to stop at a certain point to spend more time on their other skills.

Using a single trap isn't even a thing in WC except as an introductory step for the beginners. That's because the opposition will *always* follow up. That's where training to handle multiple reactions comes in handy. WC trapping is about closing the distance, initiating and maintaining contact with the intent of defeating 3-4 or more followups, not zero followups. And pulling the opposition off their structure before going after the end target. There is no clash/back off to a distance as in boxing; it's clash and stay there toe-to-toe until it's over. 1 block/parry+ 1 punch is a raw beginner move, not a plan. 5 blocks/traps prior to any offense is more typical in legit WC training, which TBH is rare in the McDojo world.

Of the Yip brothers in WC, the older brother always had *much* more legit form than the younger brother or anyone who came up in that line. You can see it when comparing the older brother's form to that of the old man. Samuel Kwok came up under the older brother and he/his people have great form. Very clean when compared to the variants which trace back to the younger brother. There are some others who came up via the older brother, too. (I say that as a complete outsider to the Hong Kong versions of WC).

You can also rip the elbow up (toy sao) to expose the body for the shovel hook. I'm also partial to pinning the elbow after a roll. Theres far more room for combination than there is reason to complain. Just ask Bruce Lee or Vasily Lomachenko.

Wing Chun is just a brand of dirty boxing native to southern Chinese rivers and port cities.

Of course, Boxing is better than Wing Chun, what is Wing Tzun for then?

[georgerodrigues]

Hello I can't understand why are you keep on trying to mix a competition based fighting sport like boxing with a theory based self-defense martial art like Wing Chun first of all in boxing they really spar and boxers know how to take a punch and know how react to being punched . And Wing Chun their so-called sparring is actually role-playing in boxing we don't teach cross blocking although some gifted boxers can get away with cross blocking that is still considered unorthodox and yes some fighters like lomachenko can get away with pulling down the guard and punching but not everyone is a lomachenko as I had said before in one of your other videos show us and real-time against a real boxer that these techniques work against the boxer and I will be the first one to admit that this works I've been coaching for or 20 years in boxing and theories like this just don't work even for the seasoned professional boxer all due respect and cheers
