was refined in hong kong and specializes in close contact combat quick punches and kicks are seen in wing chun which makes it appear somewhat impressive but is it any good in self-defense wing chun is a highly fluid style of self-defense which is designed to immediately shut down explosive and high-powered attacks basic wing chun concepts include simultaneous attack and defense center line control and constant forward pressure the techniques are designed to be performed in a relaxed manner with reflexive responses being used to off-balance attackers and turn their own attacks against them the martial art is designed to be used at high speed and when engaging at close range with this consistent forward pressure is emphasized and common striking targets include vulnerable soft tissue areas like the groin and throat sounds pretty vicious right it certainly can be what can be said about wing chun can be said about any form of martial art if you don't know how to use it effectively in a real fight scenario it's not going to be any good if you do wish to use wing chun effectively in a real fight practice and learn the art with self-defense in mind street fights usually randomly occur through aggression they usually start from a distance but get closer as the attacker gets aggressive verbally and gets close enough to push and punch there might be no warning of the attack but the attacker will get close enough to you to attack in terms of wing chun this is ideal as it is a close combat form of martial art in order to be effective in applying the moves and tactics your attacker or opponent needs to be fairly close to you they can be close enough to grapple you except with your speed and wing chun knowledge they won't be able to carry out their planned attack there are several aspects to wing chun that make it an effective form of self-defense first there is balance when practicing wing chun the center of mass is always under careful control rotating your form and leveraging gravity are used to generate powerful force this force can be used to deliver powerful strikes through limbs the hips and torso are rotated in order to provide effective striking and defense opportunities this type of rotation allows the fighter to remain firmly on his feet while accelerating weight without displacing center balance we're almost at the halfway mark now so just a reminder to like this video and subscribe to brutal tv for more top quality fighting videos but for now let's get back to wing chun the energy of wing chun comes across powerful but balanced this is essential in a fight where you need to physically stand your ground when striking or avoid falling when struck or pushed another aspect is direct using your energy to redirect your opponent's limbs trap them or deflect them all the time guarding your balance no leaning your torso or shifting your weight from one foot to the other remaining in your position relaxed ready and preemptive the main objective of wing chun is to attack the center of your opponent while using as little energy and motion as possible this is where being creative and innovative comes into play this martial art is designed to include strategic defensive blocking and trapping fighters are taught to have a strong forward focus in order to effectively jam or trap an attacker's limbs to buy enough time to attack this technique relies on the body's bone alignment and not on sheer muscular strength alone according to legend this martial art was created by a woman for women and older physically weaker people to effectively defend themselves against larger stronger and more powerful opponents traps are used to stop an opponent from defending against an attack these can include quick smacks poles and jerks with striking at the same time [Music] the basic wing chun techniques that are normally taught consist of hand strikes kicks blocks and traps hand strikes include the likes of punches chops finger jabs and hammer or back fist strikes all of these strikes when taught correctly can be brutally effective when it comes to kicks they can only be truly effective when carried out with speed and determination remembering all the time your center of balance kicks include the straight kick round kick and side kick blocks and traps really add emphasis to the functionality of wing chun moves these include press smack palm up center block low outward block high forward block and pull and jerk wing chun has been developed to be an empty hands self-defense system meaning you can defend yourself without a weapon which is pretty important as not many people are equipped with a knife or gun when suddenly cornered by a gang on a quiet road apart from being practical and adaptable wing chun is especially effective in combat against stronger opponents because it is a combat system based on tactile reflexes wing chun enables you to anticipate attacks and block them instinctively mental focus plays a big part especially focusing on internal strength as opposed to physical strength any person of any age size and gender can learn this system of self-defense another element to wing chun that will make it very useful in a street fight is that there are no rules the primary striking targets in wing chun include the back of the head fingers throat and groin most of which are illegal in most mixed martial arts competitions although many athletes do use hand trapping as a way of opening up strikes in their attacks the technique of wing chun was specifically designed to viciously incapacitate an attacker not score points in a sports competition wing chun hand strikes are designed to cause eye and throat damage and the kicks aim to tear through tendons and ligaments usually in the knees and ankles so with all of this said we believe it is safe to say that wing chun is definitely useful in a street fight both from the self-defense and attack aspects what do you
