It is true that wing chung may be difficult to
adjust to. It is not true, however, that it is
impossible to defeat. Not that you said it was impossible,
just follow the following:<br> The key to a
knowledgable martial artist is the ability to adapt to his/her
surroundings. This includes the environment, but also the type
of fighter that one comes up against. A WC
practioner labors hard to control the centerline. His blocks
and strikes seem to perfectly be assimilated to the
strikes that a practioner of the chinese martial arts
might throw. However, his abilities are weak when you
fight from the ground, (low fighting). Also, many of
dragon techniques (double striking) are not easily
countered in wing chung.<br> A practiced Wing Chung
practioner will not attack readily, but will wait for a
chance to take control of the center line and finish the
fight. Knowing this is important because every first few
strikes must have the purpose of setting up the WC
practioner for a technique such as the ones mentioned b4.
The idea is to be able to create a centerline that
you are attempting to have the WC practioner acquire.
Doing so will set him up for your technique.<br>
Finally, if his defense become too strong for you to
develope this faulty center line... and/or he is on to
your attempt at deceiving him... IT might be best to
resort to leopard fighting. In some leopard techniques
you are taught to attack the weapons of the attacker.
If you are able to disaable the wing chung
practioners arms, or at least limit their movement with
certain strikes, you will greatly improve yoru ability to
survive the fight.
