To whom it it may concern:
I
may be wrong but nothing is certain in fighting and no particular
system can grant absolute victory. It is my opinion, the only
certain things from any martial practice is our own ability to
defense/attack, self confidence, and faith.
While wing chun
is a stand up fighting art and she is not a specialist in ground
fighting. However within her forms, there are possible solutions to
ground fighting tactics.
According to Duncan Leung, the each
movement within the forms of wing chun is an isolated
symbol
like letter A in the alphabets. A means nothing bu itself, but if
you combine other letters you may form a word like cat. In theory,
one can create techniques to address groundfighting if one share the
same paradigm of the wing chun forms like Duncan Leung. I believe
this is an interesting concept and it is not like the conventional
katas where you can't create any new techniques. Wing chun gives her
children some room for creativity and growth.
It must be
clear and honest that many of wing chun masters of the past didnt
fight many talented ground fighters today. So the present wing chun
techniques to counter groundfighting is very experimental and
perhaps trial and error of some students today will show what will
work and wont work?
If you feel ground fighting is a true
and valid fighting reality for you, then I suggest you study ground
fighting. Ex, if my experience of fighting is based on guns, then I
would certainly want to study the way of the gun and learn as much
as I can in order to survive.
Once again no one particular
style is better or worst, however remember what I mentioned before
that no one style can promise absolute
victory.
