Day One of Project San Shou

In my humble opinion Wing Chun is a very special martial art that focuses on fighting for a self defence context. Being tired of the criticism levelled against the style of fighting that I hold true to my heart, I started an experiment to prove that the skills of Wing Chun can be transferred to any other environment of fighting.

Of course, we’ve had to make adaptations to our training and approach to fighting, but to fight in the ring you have to utilise universal fighting methods. Effectively, I’ve taken ordinary Wing Chun students and instructed them in a range of skills that require timing, distance judgement and true fighting spirit. Over a period of time they’ve learnt to kick, punch and wrestle like any other fighter, but with one difference they’ve kept the concepts of Wing Chun in the forefront of their minds.

The concept of this experiment is simple: all martial arts must have a common variable to function effectively. If we train and prepare these variables, then any Martial Art is comparable to each other.

I hope over the period of time that you’ll find this Blog informative enough to follow our progression to the final destination. We’ll share our highs and lows, good techniques, what’s worked, what hasn’t, and more importantly our eventual success in competition format.

You’ll follow the progress of Student A in his own words, and I will drop in from time to time to share my experiences on coaching Wing Chun fighters for a whole new world of combat.

So here goes the journey of a Wing Chun Fighter…

3 BEST Takedowns in Wing Chun, San Da, MMA



http://www.londonwingchun.co.uk/best-takedown-techniques-wing-chun ► Takedown techniques for Wing Chun. Here are 2 of the best takedowns that can easily be added to your Wing Chun Chi Sao training. We use them in San Da (San Shou Kickboxing), but they can easily be used with a range of Wing Chun techniques in sparring and Chi Sao. This technique can also be used in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) as well, in fact you will often see high level wrestlers, Judo, and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu fighters using this takedown technique. This video covers how to take someone down, and then what to do if they defend the takedown by sprawling their leg backwards.

If you like this video then check out our Wing Chun vs MMA video on how to avoid a wrestling shoot or takedown in MMA. Normally it is challenging at best especially when the takedown is combined with punches and kicks. So we also covered 3 simple Wing Chun vs MMA strategies that may help your takedown defence. These techniques are flexible and can be used for San Shou Kickboxing or Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) training. Even for those that wish to test their Wing Chun skills against other styles of martial arts, especially Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) or Wrestling.
