Can Wing Chun work with Wrestling? Absolutely it can. Let's talk about principles and concepts vs techniques and work off of the Wrestling Russian Tie Up!
Wing Chun Kung Fu taught by Retired Police Officer and Tactics Expert, Dominick Izzo.
Dominick Izzo has been training Wing Chun since 1998 and has been teaching in the Chicago area since 2008. He was the first American Wing Chun instructor to be published and published in back to back issues in Wing Chun Illustrated.
He is known for his realistic, aggressive and combative approach to Wing Chun Kung Fu.

KungFu practitioners were conditioned for decades since the 1940s to disassociate KungFu from grappling / wrestling, even to this day. I think it’s because after the Dynastic Era, the men with superior wrestling skill lost their military posts and were forced to become street performers. But, if you look at all the big cities that were major hubs for KungFu - especially Henan where Shaolin is - the sport of choice was Chinese Wrestling. It’s the base roots of ALL KungFu, along with bladed weaponry. Tai Chi tournaments are literally grip fighting competitions but they will shout you down if you state the obvious lol. “In the context of Henan province, "Shuai Jiao" refers to a long-standing tradition of Chinese wrestling, deeply rooted in the region's history, where it was practiced extensively as a martial art and military combat technique, often associated with the "Shan Pu Ying" (Battalion of Excellency in Catching) unit within the Imperial Household Department based in Beijing, which codified the style; essentially making Henan a key area for the development and practice of Shuai Jiao throughout Chinese history.”

I wrestled in HS and I find it is a good back up system for my other martial arts training(Goju,Wing Chun,etc.). Wrestling has helped me tremendously in self-defense.

My buddy is a Mongolian national FS champ and was 4th in the Worlds as a junior.He showed our club a combat bong sau (?) strike under the opponents tricep from the tie as opposed to the Chael head roll.I instantly saw WC similarity.The Mongol did not know any thing other than FS and Sambo.

[@IzzoWingChun]

@@jessebriggs3181 I’d be very interested in hearing more about your experiences.

[@jordanrock3494]

I could do a whole video series on "modified chi sao" drills. Chi sao wrestling/judo was one of the first modifications me and my cousins made after we put in hundreds of hours of blindfold chi sao.

[@ryancorley1442]

Great video. Love your explanation and how you broke it down.

[@jasonjobsis6535]

Love your journey brother. I've always seen Wing Chun and some other forms of Kung Fu like Tai Chi as grappling arts combined with striking. BJJ helped my Wing Chun and vice versa. When it comes to self defense a Wing Chun practitioner that has properly pressure tested techniques is far more prepared then most other martial arts.

[@Frankie1622]

Would it be accurate to say that most of the "techniques" of Wing Chun are not actually "techniques", but "technical terms"? Like, you don't need to block with a Bong Sao, but most people call it a block. I guess it "became a block" because that's how it ended up being applied by most practitioners, but in actuality the application depends on person and situation? The analogy I am working with is, since the body is a "system", within the Wing Chun "body", rather than simply calling each hand/strike; "hand", like each bone in the body has a name, each "hand/strike" has a name

[@willtherealrustyschacklefo3812]

Yeah basically. It isn't a "block", and would generally be performed after you have already made contact to redirect their strike. But yes it can be used as one, mostly against body kicks. Tan Sao and pak sao are much better concepts for actually blocking with tho.

[@MrBer203]

It's a delefector

[@MrBer203]

Not a block

[@justinheckel5191]

Totally agree with the lack of intention, tenacity, etc. and the agreement of tying up. I went back to my old HS years ago to help out with wrestling. They have a hard time with that “popping” energy and pain compliance.

[@IzzoWingChun]

It is INSANE how they don't seem to have any fight in them

[@justinheckel5191]

@ the mutual tie up and rocking anymore, which my old coach called slow dancing, is the wrestling equivalent of push hands.

[@fernandonunez9689]

[@dirtygeazer9266]

Seems like i found me in the future I've been studying wrestling and bjj and at first totally dismissed bruce lee and wing chun looked at tao of jkd and seeing the use of calf slicers catch wrestling esc spine and neck cranks loved seeing the drawings the use of hair, bite, pinch, scratch, eye poke, groin shots being advocated

[@Rodz1874]

C'mon Izzo, that Tyson/Paul fight was fixed. Tyson could've knocked him out, but if he did, he wouldn't get paid. He threw the fight for the money.

[@MrCBTman]

It wasn’t fixed.

Yeah, I mean if you watched any of his training videos, he was a BEAST! There is no fucking way that he was trying to box when he got in the ring with paul.... It was like 2 COMPLETELY different people!

[@brettbond1546]

Great video. I agree with you 100%.

[@knw-seeker6836]

Would you recommend to learn wrestling/ judo before or parallel to wing Chung?

[@mrevolutiom6134]

Forgive me for soundling like a troll. For context, are these wrestlers you dominated the kids you coach? Do you have footage of this live in the wrestling room? It might illustrate your point better.

[@IzzoWingChun]

You don't sound like a troll. Yes, I said they were the HS wrestlers and they could have kicked my a** if I didn't have more experience how to deal with wrestlers. And no, we don't film practice footage.

[@christopherkeech2795]

5:01 don't you do squats tho with weights ?, it's just manoeuvres in adapting , it's basically what you was saying with Bruce Lee an the cobra an squating an 1inch power an warming up , (I thought you was gonna say that) at this 5:01 into video

[@wingchun-sc]

Spot on. "Meet what enters. Stick to it and escort it away. CLOSE THE GAP." (Who says "Closing the Gap" or "Filling the Void" is about punching only?) ALL Strikes (hands, elbows, feet, shoulders, shoots, et al) are a transfer of weight. Nothing else. No weight transfer, no strike - the body part or parts are irrelevant. Great stuff. Keep it coming.

[@DaftyBoi412]

I bet you'd love training Kyusho Jitsu (small circle jujitsu). I had exactly the same feeling when I started to learn it after doing WingChun for a few years "Oh man this is made to work seamlessly with wing chun!". Sadly it's riddled with fake mystical BS with the whole no touch knockout stuff, but the actual pressure point stuff, the locks etc, and the physical pressure point KOs are all seriously legit, and a perfect marriage to wing chun. It's highly effective at putting people on their ass in a world of pain lol. I used to use wing chun to close the distance and often found myself utilising Kyusho Jitsu once I'd tied up or got through the guard to "end" the contact. 😉👍

[@delanchan699]

Was wondering if you disappeared or not. Lets get more wrestling videos!

[@Frankie1622]

I totally agree now that Wing Chun shouldn't be the first martial art you learn. The more I watch videos of Wing Chun in application within other martial arts, and seeing Wing Chun concepts within the martial art I currently practice (obviously not Wing Chun, but I do want to pick up Wing Chun later on), the more I am finding this true. The question I have is, should I learn only 1 martial art first then move to Wing Chun and then stop there, or learn as many martial arts as possible with Wing Chun included as long as Wing Chun isn't learned first?

[@modern_wing_chun]

Make wing chun your base art, BUT study every other art and style to see the corelation between arts and to better understand wing chun, it was meant to be expanded upon infinitely!

[@Mrcashewww]

@@modern_wing_chun wing chunners are probably the most delusional of all martial artists.

[@macruizphotography]

IZZO reach out to VLMA wing chun, he wants to do a collab with you. you all have alot in common about how u discuss wing chun

[@2gpowell]

Seems like chi-sao has overcome all other things in wing chun. It's required to learn but not master. Chi sao does not win fights It's the fighting application that is neglected.

[@user-om6if1nv3d]

Point in case , Sifu Izzo: Wing Chun is useful for self defense even at an older age. I've used it. It works, but since it's not seen frequently in rings or octagons , people disbelieve it. But, it should not be bound by rules. Like krav maga: it's not a sport... it's a defense/attack method. Much respect.🤜🏻🫷🏻
