Muay Thai vs Wing Chun Sparring

[@SifuNate]

Great sparring with you again bro!!! Glad we got to do this sequel with kicks and more trapping! Always fun and interesting to see how we move and apply our styles together.

[@ilovecteasy582]

That was embarrassing you didn't check or block any kick you have no defence 😂 making wing Chun look bad once again. Jeff chan could knock you out anytime he want. You literally got surprised when Jeff just jabbed you showing you have don't have good experience. No one should learn from you, fraud. Don't call yourselfa Sifu. Pisses me off to know that people actually learn from this fraud

[@MMAShredded]

thanks for the good work Sifu nate! until next time!!!

[@konkyolife]

Wing Chun is great to learn from for Muay Thai clinching! More people need to know this.

[@davidjones8043]

Nate seems like a cool guy

[@Zack1440]

👍🏽

[@Shojushoju]

Glad you listened to the feedback and let Sifu Nate wear MMA gloves. It looks like the Savate style doubling up of side and front kicks worked pretty well for him.

[@MMAShredded]

cheers!

[@VTLille]

Much respect to Nate for stepping in there with you. I feel like he was often (due to your footwork and distance management) overextended with the rear hand down, which left him open to your counters.

[@MMAShredded]

osss!

[@MartialArtsMoves]

*Yep, that's why JKD has an advantage over Wing Chun, cause it helps with distance control.*

[@AjaychinuShah]

Bro, huh (?), what the hell is wrong with you. Stop devaluing humans and disvaloring Angel people. Thank you ...

​@@marketingwithwilliamI agree, it's the best sparring I've seen as well.

Jeff - you went easy on him! But allowed him to show his style. Kudos.

[@rackinfrackinvarmint]

Every time I watch a video about Wing Chun it falls apart so fast. Where has this guy been this whole time?! Nate is the man, thank you for showing functional Wing Chun! Looks great. As always, your videos are awesome Jeff. Thanks!

[@jestfullgremblim8002]

Also look for Mark Phillips!! His Wing Chun ain't falling apart! He's a bit old now tho and won't be sparring a whole lot, very sad

[@MMAShredded]

Sifu nate is awesome!

[@jovanleon7]

It's called JKD. That's exactly what Bruce Lee did, made Wing Chun functional and effective. The problem is they were going 50%. Next time they should wear head gears and vests and go 80-90% because JKD's true prowess is in timing, precision and speed.

[@smartresearchwingchun494]

Ot still fell apart and became kickboxing or JKD.

[@dracolich345]

Jeff I really love how you can travel across the world entering all these dojos with respect to unpack the knowledge and share with us. Incredible work 🎉🎉🎉

[@NairJKD]

Jeff you a real one for training with sifu nate and helping him get better! i had a friend who did the same for me. I do jkd and he did muay thai and boy did his thai techniques make my technique 10 times better. You are a real one jeff and that’s why i love your vids. Keep ‘em up, they are appreciated

[@MMAShredded]

thanks man :)

[@cringusmoss9937]

You can really see the advantages of Jeff's insane conditioning as the fight continues. Props to Nate for keeping it up the entire time! I love seeing each fighter adapt as the session continues. After getting his feet knocked around so many times nate turning a lead leg kick into a pendulum step into side kick was so cool.

[@MMAShredded]

osss!

[@metalslug97]

Awesome video, Jeff. Super interesting to see two different styles clash because it really shows to me how no style is better than the other, but how each have their own strengths and weaknesses. Asymmetrical stances really push the frontiers of thinking.

[@MMAShredded]

[@CopperheadCustoms]

Saw alot of very nicely executed Wing Chun techniques in there, very nice sparring session from you both

[@MMAShredded]

[@danteeudora6330]

I love this! I'm the only guy I know who regularly incorporates wingchun into his sparring, so it's fascinating to see someone else not only do it but do it in high level, intelligent sparring like this. 👍👍👍

[@philliplanos]

My favorite part of this video in the second round you can see Nate begin to incorporate feints and generally show adaptation based on the additional techniques and styles Jeff began to insert into his movements. Excellent because it's educational but also because it's celebrates martial arts as a whole instead of throwing politics into the mix.

[@sum_andres31]

Really interesting to see Jkd in an athletic practitioner. It is not often that you are able to see that. Hope to see more sparring with Sifu.

Really cool sparring session! Looks like Nate seems dangerous in the middle distance but you were better at long range and in the clinch. Really cool both ways.

[@MMAShredded]

[@DirectorHMAN]

As someone who used to train kickboxing and JKD this was such an amazing watch. 👏

[@BenFroidevaux]

Hey Jeff, Thanks for yet another great Sparring Video, and your MMA/Muay Thai style vs Wing Chun is a dream match up! You and and Sifu Nate are so well matched: Both of you have that persistant forward intention of attacking each other's attacks (each with your own fluid combinations), and your evasive ever-changing footwork made it difficult!cult for Nate to apply his close quarter WC techniques. However, very refreshing to see a WC practitioner effectively apply sidekicks and front kicks to "stop" or check an on-rushing opponent. Bravo guys and keep up the great work...!👍👍👍

[@MMAShredded]

thanks man!!!!

[@raphael_2d878]

Dude, Sifu Nate is insane. The fact that you can spar with him and look good while doing it... DAMN. Respect.

[@MMAShredded]

:) thanks!

[@woodstockcarrie]

I loved this sparring. Today I only do muay thai, but I came from kung-fu. One thing I always feel about wing chun is that it looks very strong if it comes at close range without the opponent expecting it. It seems very effective to me in a real close-range defense situation.

[@MMAShredded]

:)

[@mexicovillage]

conclusion is that more you spar more you get experience and cleverness in fight...the wing chun guy does not seem to have a lot experience in sparing but we can notice that the difference between round 1 and round 2.. in round 2 wing chun guy developps more understanding of situation and developp more tactics

[@edmondlau511]

This is a great way to start the weekend. Two of my favorite KZbin channels. Hope you guys went out for dinner afterwards.

[@MMAShredded]

:) we did!

[@ScoobyDoo-kt9pv]

Hey y'all! That's what got me into wing Chun was that feeling of "oh no, I have to fight far away from this person." I like Kung Fu and boxing and feel better about your great diverse skills both of you the more you cross styles so multiple styles get the limelight. My JKD wing Chun is a bit more street brawl, but I really personally love Kung Fu but Thai is very loved for the skill. I'm not sure if anyone mentioned it but those kicks were all dangerous from both opponents. Side kicks are usually either super easy on you or the worst kick to be hit with (broken bones ribs etc) and leg kicks and mid round house hurt and mid roundhouse can break things. Low kick is very painful I grin and bear it and like to counter too it's a very difficult thing to train.

[@NexusJunisBlue]

Great breakdown! Thanks for sharing, and thank you for continuing to keep an open mind and explore Chinese martial arts! Happy New Year! 🙂

[@MMAShredded]

happy new year brother!!

[@shogunhua7746]

Jeff your head movement and footwork are next level 👏

[@MMAShredded]

Jeffs head movement is insane. Absolute master class

[@MMAShredded]

[@MMAShredded]

thank you!!

[@ZeusEBoy]

Amazing video, was a lot of fun to watch and learn from. Both did a great job, so good work too. Keep it up brothers. Happy to see that wing chun working too. Jeff is a good mma fighter so I feel like his head movement and slip helped a lot to not get trapped and pressured as much vs even Muay Thai he had more trouble countering because of limiting himself

[@MMAShredded]

thank you!!!!

[@jordanmurray4061]

[@MMAShredded]

thank you shi fu as always!!

[@anthonyt1t5]

Bruce lee did say that when most of chinas kung fu masters went to fight against muay thai fighters, only one style seemed to do well against the thais which was choy li fut, not wing chun. And then choy li fut influenced the creation of sanda which is basically kickboxing mixed with kung fu grappling or take downs and kicks.

[@andrewmk8514]

Thank you for letting your partner explain what he was doing! Great to hear both perspectives! All technique, not power. Great sparring and sharing.

[@MMAShredded]

thank you!!

[@algore3462]

I noticed WC practitioners often get surprised by the leg-sweeps from MT... puts the WC fighter in an immediate disadvantage when he/she actually falls

[@clapdrix72]

The difference in athleticism makes this a difficult apples to apples comparison of styles, but even taking that into account it's clear wing chun has nothing for sweeps and clinch and the hand fighting is inferior to western boxing (or even MT boxing) imo.

[@AjaychinuShah]

Proud Odour-ful Big Nate strikes out Lord Conor in 1 movement. WAY TO GO!!

I love this sparring videos when you face a stile to another different, congrats jeff, did the "best tactics used by" video series will come back?

[@MMAShredded]

I make short videos on tactics used by fighters but it is getting tough to do full videos as most fighters use the same techniques. I can really only make a full video if a fighter is very very unique/different!

[@MMAShredded]

[@enochdarkk7871]

Ive seen Wing Chun use clinch and knees when they get inside because most ppl duck their heads to avoid those machine gun punches.. What I like about their style is the pace and the barrages.. but it was always designed to setup a power shot.. daze / overwhelm the opponent than land your best punch / kick which is what I rarely see in these wing chun videos.

[@Grizzscratch]

I saw the pros and cons of both art, which was great. Learned a lot from this video

[@MMAShredded]

[@sergebeaulieu7956]

wing chun is played by grudging from all sides with the alignement, and the hands is where the ribs are at you need space and patience too and lightness and heavyness in slow motion start by tacking out the trap tricks.

[@swang2489]

I love watching your sparring videos. I always think people put too much emphasis on which discipline is better. You show you have to adapt to what the opponent is doing and working on basics of using footwork, feints and movement no matter what discipline you study is more important than strictly sticking to just muay thai or just kung fu. I studied kung fu and always would be annoyed when people put it down. Even though within kung fu there are different styles I think there is more emphasis on movement, quickness and trickiness than some other martial arts. Whereas other martial arts tend to emphasize more defense or more power.

[@MMAShredded]

thanks man!!

[@one4theditch38]

Stumbled on this, glad I did, sir. new subscriber!!

[@astonprice-lockhart7261]

Most traditional forms of combat had a tendency to overwhelm there opponents because they weren't doing this for rounds. This doesn't mean they didn't condition. Low kicks and sweeps were favored especially stomps to the feet, shin, knee and thigh. This way it was a lot harder to be off balanced, have your leg caught or have your own leg stomped out. I'm just saying this as analysis. These preferences were found in almost all forms of combat. Finally there was no culture that did not have wrestling because it was expected for you to possibly have to get close to your opponent. More similarities than differences. Thank you for another great video!

[@MMAShredded]

As someone that likes to grab wrists and win with elbows, I can confirm grappling with boxing gloves is a billion times harder. But can kinda also train your long arm deflections i guess where you stuff a punch with your forearm?

Dear Jeff, I hope I may share my humble thoughts with you. This video is a respectable demonstration that TMA can indeed be effective. I always say: TMA were developed in ancient times when MA were used in life or death scenarios -- wars have been waged with them; one cannot get away with an impractical mindset and produce methods that our contemporary world misunderstands as superfluous or "flowery." Chinese martial arts took a tremendous hit when made illegal and persecuted during the cultural revolution, and modern schools usually do not teach combat-oriented (absenting/being scarce in sparring). From Jesse Enkamp's Karate Nerd channel, I seem to remember that Karate lost much of its original capacity due to adaptations to a sports-like competitive environment. Hence, I often feel the traditional arts are not represented in their original capacity in our modern day. Who knows how the old masters fought? In the video "Kung Fu is 90% Wrestling " by Rokus (Martial Arts Journey) he demonstrates Kung Fu contains much grappling/wrestling, where it is often accused to lack such methods. Similarly, on his channel the MMA/boxing gentle giant Ramsey Dewey accounts for having been defeated by an eighty-year-old Chen Tai Chi master, explaining this is actually a grappling art. Apparently, and according to my own experience, much of the martial applications have been forgotten due to the erosions of time: legal banishment, persecution, unfortunate choices in adaptation to a sports-environment, and perhaps modernisation in general. Having seen the post-cultural revolution world of China, where religion and martial arts were banished and persecuted, one can easily detect, and is indeed reputed in religious circles, to have lost much of its quality. Monks giving in to alcohol, walking up to prostitutes, greedily selling their arts to unexpecting foreigners, giving in to discrimination, and being all but meditative. Who now knows what it means to be a professional meditator but also a martial artist? Who now can represent the professional yogi who is also a warrior? Whenever the internal aspect is mentioned, it saddens me it is received with derision and a foreordained form of scepticism.

One thing I’ve noticed a lot is that in the fighting styles that do more sparring or rolling, there’s a lot more in-the-moment strategizing going on compared to traditional martial arts that don’t spar. A lot of mental going on. I don’t think that’s emphasized nearly enough

As fas as I know and experienced, you're the only professional martial artist who answers everyone. Thankyou sir Q: why there are long combinations in boxing? My opponent will not go according to my long combination! I have seen floyd, Dimitry bivol and other boxers practicing long combos of 12 to 20 Punches combined with head movement Please sir explain me why to learn such long combos

[@MMAShredded]

I will throw long combos on the pads or bad to develop flow fluidity and cardio. Long combos are used when you have your opponent rocked and you're going for the finish. Or if you just feel you can overwhelm and bully your opponent from the start because they have no defense!
