Wing Chun vs Kung Fu

One of the reasons why people learn martial arts is to be able to defend themselves in dangerous situations. But with hundreds of martial arts styles in the world today, deciding on which one to learn can be a difficult choice. That is why most people want to know whether a martial art style is effective for street fighting before committing years to learn it.

Wing Chun is a form of Kung Fu! It’s like saying Karate vs Shotokan

[AlStone]

"Wing Chun Vs Kung Fu" is like saying pizza Vs Italian food

[BrianBrazilHarmonica]

In case you weren't aware of it. Which it seems you aren't, Wing Chun is a Kung Fu Style. There are hundreds of Kung Fu styles all over China. Some more well known than others, due to the lack of people in this country having limited access to the history of Chinese Martial arts.

Wing Chun is a great base in my opinion for self defense. I've been in more fights than I'm proud of, but defending the center line as Wing Chun instructs has saved me on more than one occasion. However, no single style of martial arts is the answer. I've studied several. I'm sure most of you have heard the phrase "jack of all trades, but a master of none, " but there is a second part to that. The second part is "better to be a jack of all trades than a master of one." Don't limit yourself.

I am 69 yrs old now and have been studying martial arts since my mid-teens, starting with 12 yrs of Wing Chun, then TKD reaching 3rd dan and a couple of years of judo and western boxing along the way. I have had to defend myself a few times in my life after learning fighting systems and both times I used a combination of Wing Chun and boxing that go together very well I might add as I was successful every time blocking with several Wing Chun blocks, mainly Tan Sau and Bong Sau and then very quickly ended the fights with a couple of punches from boxing, a lead jab to confuse my attacker followed by a well-timed right cross! Most importantly learning martial arts gives you confidence and the ability to keep a calm mind whilst fighting. At the end of the day, it is more about the man than the style and if I had to encourage any youngster to learn quickly how to defend themselves by choosing only one style, I would recommend boxing

[CrtveAmbitions]

Yes I have used these techniques in my street fights and escaping with my life. I used "Tiger style" Kungfu to defeat my enemies more than once in my life.

[cmillerpa]

The confidence and muscle memory and training will be the difference in a street fight more than style.

[emmanueldenniss]

They are both kung fu as a lot people said in the comms, wing Chung it’s close range combat while shaolin and other kung fu styles like silat wushu tai chi are long range too

[BigNateN]

I learned and trained Wing Chun back in the early 90s. I have used Wing Chun in fights. It does not exactly look the same as in training but the blocks, counters and strikes do work in hand to hand combat. It helped shape me as a person.

[banditvinchenzo]

Uhh... I'm a Wing Chun practitioner and licensed insteuctor under the Internation Wing Chun Association, and I can tell you with 100% certainty Wing Chun IS Kung Fu. It's just a southern style. You should have titled it Wing Chun Kung Fu vs Shaolin Kung fu or something. The title makes no sense😅 it's not separate from the rest of Kung Fu in any way. The breakdown of the style itself wasn't bad, but it's very similar to chow gar or mantis style and again, is just another souther Kung fu style

[RichardKefalos]

Wing chun in and of itself has been pretty useless to me - but if you mix it up with other martial arts (thai boxing, grappling focused martial arts like judo/BJJ), it truly shines. I would never go into a street fight just using wing chun, but if I am in one, I am very happy to have knowledge of it.

[anthonymoore]

Ummm last time I checked Wing Chung is a form of kung-fu 🤦🏾‍♂️

[chinesebob]

This video is really about shaolin vs wing chun. One problem with wing chun is it works mainly at close range.

[johnchen]

Bruce Lee already proved that Wing Chun was more effective than Kung Fu, when he fought and defeated Wong Jack Man in a one sided hand to hand combat in the early 60's, you see Wong Jack Man was a expert in Chinese king Fu or the national Chinese sholin style.woo shu to be exact, In my opinion it would depends on the individual fighter.

[peterlee]

Kung Fu? Basically means an art form, it may be dancing or being a gymnast. Like saying martial arts vs Wing Chun which is also another martial art. Perhaps is better to say Shaolin animal stye vs Shaolin Wing Chun style because Wing Chun also originated from Shaolin.

[kerravon]

Kung Fu is a broad category of Chinese martial arts encompassing many different styles of which Wing Chun is one. So already the title of this video suggests that the narrator has no clue what they're talking about.

[coreyfeldhaus]

Kung fu is the name of this style of fighting . Wing Chin is one of the styles of fighting within it.

[HolyHadou]

As informative as this was, it was not what I thought it was going to be.

[mizukarate]

Studied Wing Chun for one year. Never used it in a street fighter but utilized some of the kicking in sparring. I have used the front oblique kick in conjunction with Goju Karate.

Also found that the front oblique kick useful in Wing Chun Class. If I could not control a more skillful opponent my go to attack was the front oblique kick. It shuts down many Wing Chun arm movements.
