Wing Chun is a great martial art, but here’s what happens when you ignore the universal principles of combat! As in any fight, you still need to abide by the universal basics of Distance Control, Footwork, and Timing. These attributes have nothing to do with actual Wing Chun techniques, but just fighting.

Many people assume that if you learn Wing Chun that you will be unable to fight at a long range or cope with basic boxing or kickboxing combinations. Granted that Wing Chun is an exceptional martial art at close quarter fighting, but it can be used effectively over a long range of fighting. The notion that “Wing Chun does not work” comes from a misunderstanding of the training methodology of Wing Chun. We did a video (see youtu.be/BCAtNKZcGYE) explaining how Wing Chun can be used effectively over a long distance, while introducing the basic concept of improving footwork mobility. Surprisingly there are some people outside of the Wing Chun community that have the opinion that Wing Chun does not work a fight. Of course defining a real fight is difficult, as the term can mean different things to different people. This is where the misconceptions about Wing Chun begin. As in any martial art it is necessary to develop the ability to manage and control distance to the person that is attacking you. This involves the attribute of developing good mobility and footwork.
