This Is Why Wing Chun Master So Dangerous They're Banned in MMA!

[@stevebond4013]

Not banned, simply an exclusive stand-up striking art. Mostly fists, kicks no higher than waist. Close-quarter emphasis for self-defense using simultaneous defensive and counter-offensive striking. No emphasis on take-downs, throws, grappling, ground-technique, locks/ submission holds all essential to a rounded MMA fighter. As with all Traditional Martial Arts its confined to the repetoire of techniques mostly expressed in its standing forms. In Wing Chuns case 3 forms, Si Lum Tao, Chum Kil and Bil Jee. Aside from looking flashy in choreographed film sequences, the actual core emphasis in Wing Chun is developing awareness + superior counter-reflex/ reactivity to your opponents attacks through partner drills such as Chi Sau. While Chi Sau works on developing spontaneous flow of awareness and technique in close-quarter contact it is not free-sparring. I found Wing Chun immediately relatable in principle and practice as a stand-alone striking art and arguably my favourite Martial Art to learn as its combat principles are spot-on. While Bruce Lee acknowledged its effectiveness (likely thanks to the tutelage of his Legendary Grandmaster Ip Man) he recognised its limitations along with those of all Traditional Martial Arts. No single Blue-Print provides the theory on everything you might experience or require in a fighting situation. Thats how MMA was born. Mixed Martial Arts is as simple as that. Once fighters from different disciplines came together to test their styles head-on in arena's like UFC they discovered the limitations of single-style combat. Diversity of technique and understanding reduces the individual confining themselves to one mindset, one set of inevitably predictable tools. Big hitters dominated the early Octagon until the Gracie's stepped-in with BJJ. Once fighters got used to BJJ, Gracie dominance declined etc. Today almost all MMA fighters are the rounded product of training across disciplines. Its proven to work in the Octagon and what works in practice will work in reality when required. The only danger of using just Wing Chun in an MMA contest is that you might get out-kicked, out-punched from range, taken down and tied up. That simple.

It´s true. Wing Chun, Hung Gar, and other Kung Fu martial arts are not meant to be a sport but a real way to take down enemies quickly, which mean going straight for breaking knees, elbows, punching to the throat, eye gouging and other very dangerous moves that were never meant to be used in just a fighting sport. When in MMA, a very advanced Kung Fu practicioner would be holding back so many of their moves and training that it simply makes no sense to even be there at all. Kung Fu also teaches people to avoid fighting using these moves at all unless they´re really trying to harm someone, which should only happen when you´re trying to protect yourself, a loved one or somebody in very serious danger. Kung Fu is more of a lifestyle and not really meant for simply "fighting".

The concept of the non-application of dangerous moves is valid for pretty much every discipline. They all have moves fighters are not permitted to use. MMA is a sport and its rules are not a limit of the Kung Fu practitioners alone.

Jujitsu, Judo or wrestling (Sambo say) with Karate or Muay Thai with a boxing background and an agreement to stick to the rules for safety reasons... is necessary for success. On the streets... gouge eyes, kick groins, crush knees, throat strikes... against a possibly armed and determined attacker... is all fair play, just not in the Octagon.

[@voodooreptiles3553]

Sure it does.

[@Steve-xo5pq]

I knew the comments were gonna be salty lol. So in case anyone is curious I'll give the answer. First full disclosure. I am not a martial artists. I have no attachment to any martial arts practice, in simply an outside, non biased observer who enjoys learning about different things. It just so happy a martial arts is one of those things and I have learned a lot. So first of all when it comes to "what's best" there is a lot of subjectivity. Some martial arts are better in practice (against a resisting opponent) simply because practicing against a resisting opponent is PART of the practice. That's why some traditional martial arts like akiodo get flack and are generally looked down upon by the self defense folk. Akaido usually (emphisis on usually) is not practiced competitively or against someone who is actually fighting back. That being said not all martial arts are meant for self defense. Some are strictly for competing against other practitioners of the same type. Others are simply just good exercise and muscle control (although the definiton, especially the "martial" part, becomes a bit blurred in that case.) Be that at is may there is usually always a take away from each art form that can be learned and applied to a larger mma practice. There have also been some mma fighters who have innovated in a way that allows them to use art forms that were previously thought to not be practical to great effect. So yes the title is click bait, wing chun is not banned. It is also, in and of itself, not considered a very effective martial art when it comes to practical self defense. As a matter of fact there is a lot of propaganda in China around traditional martial arts. So much so that they have gone after mma practitioners for calling out traditional martial arts as ineffective and basically ruined their lives. There some guy (I forgot his name but in sure someone will remember) whos name often comes up when you search this. He has actually effortless beaten wing chun "masters" to prove a point after they ruined him and made it impossible for him to get a job and such. Lastly its important to realize when it comes to self defense there really is no perfect substitute for the real thing. Obviously in the gym you aren't trying to cause each other serious injury. Your also practicing on a padded mat, wearing a gee or just gym shorts, against other people who also know martial arts and are unarmed. That's not to say practice doesn't help. But on the street, people aren't going to tell you they are going to attack you. They have no qualms about how much they injury you, they may or may not outnumber you, and they are likely armed. The best self defense is preparation and awareness. Be aware of your surroundings, avoid fighting unless you need to, and even then your goal should be your own safety not to beat the crap out of your attackers. Get away and get safe!

[@dearrevenant1270]

There are maybe 50 techniques or moves banned from the UFC and some traditional martial art styles do all of them as a big part of their style. So I would say that’s pretty much the same thing as banning

[@floaded27]

Never let your enemy control the pace of the battle. Utilize every available skill you have to end any and all fights as quickly as possible, never ever underestimate an opponent Because overconfidence will get you destroyed in a street fight.

It's a strict rigid form marshal art. It doesn't matter what flavor you pick, You lose to the first fighter that has experience with any additional discipline. Google wing Chung master VS MM.A fighter. The reality is there. You will find it.

[@joelucas1017]

Give me a break,mma world champion vs. Wing Jung master wing Jung master would be destroyed in one minute or less like I said GIVE ME A BREAK

I think I recognize this VO. Chris?? I just heard Dan in a clip yesterday

[@firebladeclements]

Been watching ufc for 30 years. Throat strikes not allowed? Hmm? Seriously?

[@justintime41776]

Jean Claude Van Damme and his ballet fu is banned too. Way too deadly.

[@timmurphy3609]

The only thing banned in MMA are firearms...lol

[@eparock]

untrue... no eye gouges, throat or groin strikes, or many other known dangerous debilitating moves that would be commonly used in warfare but not competition. mma is like dueling with sticks and not swords... there are rules and most of these martial arts are designed for battle without rules. they are designed for warfare not competition.

[@freshcobar966]

Banned in mma lmao( jon jones walks in to wing chun dojo) "uhh im here to fight the master?" They all point at eachother lol

[@djehutisundaka7998]

Wing Chun has never been banned in MMA. It simply doesn't work for practitioners without regular sparing experience with people from outside of the system. Classical mess doesn't work! Real world experience and adaptation works. Just about all martial arts have deadly techniques that are banned from MMA so it's no more an excuse for Wing Chun than it is for anything else. Other striking martial arts practitioners also train on being able to stay on their feet or in getting out of ground hold positions when taken down. Wing Chun practitioners could do that as well if they only chose to. They could also focus on the Chin Na arm-locking techniques inherent to Wing Chun and most Chinese systems. In short, it's not Wing Chun that's the actual failure, it's the impractical experience of its practitioners that's the failure.

[@sciWraith]

I imagine all fighting styles have effective qualities, but they are not equal, and nor are their learning curves. I think that mastering boxing is much easier than mastering wing chun. By the time mastery is achieved in wing chun, those few who have are probably too old or unwilling to use it for sport of this kind. Thus the pool of representatives is extremely small.

[@richardcampbell1876]

It looks cool until you get hit then it doesn't work so well

[@Mr.Cockney]

Wing Chun was created for selfdefense (as Karate, Kung fu, and so on…) MMA is a sport, a hard sport. But it is not selfdefense. A weak and untrained person cannot fight in MMA, but can kill or cripple another human being if he/she knows how to. People have some weak spots relatively easy to attack if you know where and how to.

[@Vvrroommm]

Wing Chun chin na is not nice for arena fighting. Eyes, throat, groin in addition to chin na is a focus of high level wing chun and other Kung fu styles.

[@DICEBOY22]

Observation of the comments section... Wow... This is the normie joe version of anime character versus debate chest puff flexing... Its actually freaking hysterical.

[@anthonylove6639]

Wing Chun can be use if the fighter limits its purposeful directed strikes like hitting of the groins, throat and eyes. Which are already banned by the MMA. 👍🏻

[@dorkangel1076]

If only they had showed up to the UFC when all that was still legal.

[@albertusanggo3912]

wing chun always use slow movement when defend, like there is someone want to punch you but his punch is all slow and blocked by wing chun skill, yeah looks good, but if someone punch for real, can wing chun block it... maybe ancient practitioner can really use wing chun to fight, but modern wing chun is just flower with no thorn

[@eduardogalindo4517]

Combat and sports are two different things.

[@GeorgeFranquiz]

Jeet Kune Do can be banned since it not sports, kicking in the groin and bites, JKD it is full contact.

[@kingtimmy88]

The title is lying so much, its asleep.

[@franckauger9490]

Bullshit. Wing chun is not banned from MMA. You have juste to follow MMA rules.

[@melchizedekful]

Wing chun and kung fu in general is a nice sport, gives you health but as a combat system is utterly useless. It is not a surprise that there is no any law enforcement unit in the world that where any kind of kung fu is practiced.

[@Viking2Jedi]

Wing Chun is for combat not sport. I'm 216 lbs and my wing Chun would kill anybody but the most elite MMA.

That wasn’t Bruce Lee’s first discipline. Everyone forgets because of Ipman.

[@aaronwashington8662]

‘…Lee's first introduction to martial arts was through his father, from whom he learned the fundamentals of Wu-style tai chi…In his teens, Lee became involved in Hong Kong gang conflicts, which led to frequent street fights…’

Wing Chun is dangerous because who ever is on the opposite side of this SOON TO BE ASS WHUPPING is never gonna RECOVER from the beating that is SURE TO FOLLOW.😂

[@manelsan2002]

It is ridiculous to belive that bcs neck and joint strikes are forbidden in MMA, an MMA fighter doesn't know how to perform them.

[@ioanbota9397]

Its so powerful I like it

[@Tksangma1987]

It's depends on themselves, every martial arts techniques can defeat each other,if practitoner man is strong and big jkd, wingchun practitioners will dominate others.you forgot Anderson Silva,Tony Ferguson.

[@MichaelMooreMoore-u1k]

If the MMA is worried about safety why compete at all for Kung Fu practitioners it's like declawing a cat and saying defend yourself

[@thecolt45a]

I agree completely. All the rules make Kung Fu completely useless. The moves in Kung Fu are for permanently disabling your opponent. It's not something you do for sport. It's a completely different way of life. I was lucky enough to see some real stuff with no rules in mind and just....damn it's brutal and has no place in competition sports.

[@gerrittenberkdeboer7763]

Hey! let's do wing chung ball! goals have to be made but the players are allowed to destroy each other.... pop corn...perfect

How can a movie show the effectiveness of a martial art?

That thumbnail thou 😂😂😂😂💀

[@HermanSpaans]

😅 😅 WING CHUN 😂 😂

[@menschalter1582]

If you cant practice your fighting under realistic circumstances aka full contact sparing your not learning how to fight, you learn ho to practice a sport. There are no rules in selfdefense. If you can grab a hold of a fork and borderline lobotomies the guy coming for you thats perfectly legit.

[@wingdeusrex7866]

Who the Chinese mma guy that beat up the wing chun master again

[@maczanescorpious]

Chicken Wing wins! When people know often its not the technique or art but just the ability to hit before ur hit!

[@AleksanderSchmajke]

Wing chun banned? For being ineffective perhaps. No martial art is banned from mma, but there are some martial arts that are too weak to compete, like wing chun unfortunatelly.

[@rustycann6887]

the name of the sport is mixed martial arts ...almost no single art fighter is going to compete .weather a boxer or wrestler .as the name implies

[@goldemann1]

Well the title is missleading in my opinion...though there are points he mentions that are true , alot of martial art trains ppl to atack soft tissues, in a sport like arena wing chun would have hard time if thats the onlything you know

[@jacobtooley8688]

Muya Tai can be dangerous to with the knees to the face can kill
