If get the chance go visit Kevin Secours. He’s a Systema guy which by itself sounds laughable, but he’s an interesting guy who can show you a lot of cool stuff. And he spars! haha
If my background was Wing Chun I would try to feel the strength of fighters from Ashihara or maybe Kyokushin for the purpose of finding a method to protect myself against that kind of brutal attacks. I would start with Ashihara myself.
Great observation. I noticed this years ago in one of his “over the hill, out of retirement” fights. He was always using one hand to pin the opponent’s. When you’re much older and slower, you fight smarter
That's because the "cross guard" came into boxing directly from wing Chun /Chinese boxing. (The cross guard being where the "philly shell" came from too btw) Although it actually exists in a few other martial arts as well such as traditional jujitsu.
Great video ! Greg Nelson definitely embodies the whole absorb what is useful, reject what is uselesss, and add what is essentially your own. A fantastic coach!
DUDE!!! For the longest time I show and tell many people that wing chun is very useful on the back on the floor too! I’m so glad he was able to show it!!! You really leverage the floor on your back to chi sao while laying on the floor! His hands look extremely heavy too! He is definitely an experienced Wing Chun practitioner
I've been saying this for decades, "It's NOT the art, it's the practitioner. Their training in the understanding of the engagement that determines the outcome."
Everyone can go through the same medical or law school, but the outcome is different. It is up to the individual to understand and apply the skill learned. It makes no sense to say that this martial art is better than the other martial arts.
I am a former amateur boxer and was a top ranked fighter USKBA kickboxing…. Used small bits of wing chun ALL THE TIME. And the sensitivity training so useful on the inside… as well as grip fighting in grappling
Yes! I love that you covered how it isn't about the art, more so the person! A key can open many doors and keep others locked. However, what use is a key if we want to bake a cake? People tend to struggle using the right art in the right way:) Expand the MA toolkit but also love and appreciate each art. Every single one can offer us something if our minds are open. Everything has a use and application! Thanks Kevin!
Remember guys, there is no such thing as works, or doesn't, it depends on an individual master, you can't say boxing doesn't work in a street fight, as well as kickboxing, wing chun, no. Every marital art is unique, the thing is, wing chun uniqueness is this: you can punch his neck, eyes, you also can use legs, and break opponents leg, boxing uniqueness is this: you can knock out your opponent with one powerful strike, you can do fake punches that works very well, and i can continue this with every martial art, every martial art is best, it's just you, you decide how good you are, the problem isn't in styles, look at Kevin, he's a great master, he would destroy us in wing chun, look at donnie yen, he knows mma, Kung fu, bbj etc. he destroyed nine big guys in the bar, defending himself and his girlfriend, using kung fu, mixing with every martial arts he knew, just to know, every ma is great
This master proves that Wing Chun, when used in combination with other arts, works in the UFC. What he's doing is very similar to the JKD approach to cross-training popularized by Dan Inosanto and his students.
The ufc, and mma as a whole all exist today because of wing chun. Bruce Lee popularized mixing martial arts with his invention of Jeet Kune Do, which the primary art in Jeet Kune Do is Wing Chun.
@@Haydean06Or Bruce Lee realised Wing Chun wasn't enough on its own so he added a lot of stuff from other styles. Bit like the UFC where BJJ and wrestling dominated, then the strikers started learning take down and grappling defences forcing the grapplers to learn more stand up skills until we got the hybrid style we have now.
Greg (white dude in the video) trains under Dan inasanto the last student of Bruce Lee. He owns the academy and is right down the road from my place. Greg soon will also be "Ajarn".. grand master of Muay Thai in America
The "Sensitivity Drill" section seems like normal hand fighting stuff in bjj, at least we do this at our gym. If it originates from wing chun that is awesome. Greg Nelson is such a legendary coach, trained a lot of fighters.
When I was learning JKD this is exactly what we did. I would be shocked if my teacher and him hadn't been to some of the same seminars because everything, even the language, is the same.
Great video, very compelling stuff! And that's something that most of us over 30 have learned, it's the artist, not the art. Of course some of these kids commenting here on UA-cam are so locked into whatever they practice that they're convinced it is the only effective thing. And I include mainstream MMA in that ("only MT/BJJ works! Karate/Judo is ineffective!"). Everything is effective in its way, it's a question of how skilled you are in applying those tools. It's the artist, not the art. 🙂
Kevin, great video and interview. His trapping insights were brilliant. Can you do a trapping video? He's so quick in his movements that it's difficult to follow. Can you slow it down and do a video on the subject?
When I first started Bjj, I was about throwing everything away I trained in my Kung fu days. But after training several years, I’ve been seeing how Kung Fu helps with grappling.
Most ppl that see Wing Chun application in the cage don't know it is Wing Chun, they just automatically assume it is muay thai, boxing etc. Too many casuals watching MMA these days.
@@silveriver9 Nice try. But work on taming your insecurities about an art that has as much practicality as a tai chi master on crack isn't believable. The real truth is, it is boxing, Muay Thai, have techniques that work, not the wing chun. As someone who has been in a few real life and death struggles, I would never suggest wing chun. I would bet my life on that and have. Not buying into the cult fees and kool aid.
@@silveriver9 Hey leaving you a gift: Why Wing Chun Gets Destroyed by Lawrence Kenshin Striking Breakdowns. It funny, he mentions those names you throw outta hope for proof. Only if you have the courage to look.
@gregory4154 Sitting on your armchair doesn't automatically grant you the rank of "expert" 😂. Keep typing piffle to compensate for your insecurity and lack of knowledge of the game.
Great episode again! Tbh i feel like there should be more videos about this topic. Wing Chun at this point is attached to such a stigma where the martial art is really suffering. We as Wing Chun practitioner are stereotyped as you do Wing Chun so it must be bad cause there are 0 UFC fighters that use Wing Chun. In fact there are definitely good Wing Chun fighters out there. I hope this voice/message can be heard and vocalized to a wider public.
That ground trap was great, would love to see a fighter pull that off but they often are too far into trying to finish w/ hammer fists/blows to stop and take the time to think about trapping the defending arm like that, but thats a secure way to finish pretty quickly and give the ref no choice.
Enjoy your channel Kevin. My Sifu, Alan Orr, has also taught Wing Chun as the stand up and striking art to coach his fighters for MMA and other combat sports with great success.
I myself Practicing the Native Kali of Philippines. I find Wing Chun concept of Defense and attack similarities and effectiveness only closed Combat Actions. He's right to utilized his knowledged of Filipino martial arts and Wing Chun if it's needed to shift into these modes immediately when needed. Of course if the attacker prefers to long distance high kick and rolling over hitting it's time to shift to another grabbing, trapping , like Judo or JetKundo or Muay Thai boxing, I actually see you in these videos. It's like these five martial arts are coming out of your way of fighting. For me I see these 5 martial arts works effectively to get the opponent to play your system and put him down & win the fight . Not the other way around. Totally Agree with him.
Its foolish to say that any true martial art is useless in ufc, theyre all forms and movements of the human body. Everything I see in life is useful, it just depends on the situation. Tbh as of late I've been most impressed by Tai chi chuan movements, id love to see someone in ufc applying it.
Every single art that the early UFCs proved "don't work against the best" has come back and won fighters some belts. I still remember when every muay thai guy lost in early UFCs, and kicking was considered rarely useful. Now the mma GOAT ( Jon Jones) looks 1/2 chinese with his praying mantis hands handfighting, foot sweeps, hip tosses, high kicks, kicks to the knee, standing shoulder break, open hands, spinning strikes, and standing elbows not from a clinch.
Chi Sau sticking hands is one of the most useful fighting skills Yes because its fantastic for setting up moves and its freely spontaneous what a joke if some one doesn't have these skill sets it exists in a crude form in some systems although they don't train it as a separate skill.
I realize now wing Chun like other Chinese martial can be highly effective in any situation when you understand the applications and when too apply them. I went to several wing Chun schools to train and always would better some students that had been there for sometime and the students would get frustrated to find out while I was getting better of them that I was moving on angles while they moved straight ahead to try take my centerline and I thought I was something else but discovered later the reason I was beating these particular students was because I was unknowingly using principles of attacking while other wing Chun students did not understand while wing Chun and other Chinese martial take center line you must present the angles of attack were much more effective at 45 degrees and not just straight on attack which can leave yourself more vulnerable to a counter attack. So yes Wing Chun is an effective art for street , MMA and other applications for self defense as it was designed for. I quess I am still learning but once I figure it out I will be better martial artist.
If you can take a love tap, that's all it is, you can beat anyone in a street fight. Take the hits and deliver strong punches right back. That's a fight, no questions about it.
Indeed. The 'knife hands' are a big clue, aren't they. It's just the term 'boxing,' I think, that gives people the wrong idea about its key open hand philosophy. As without swords or spears, it needs to rely on elbows to get the job done - to pressure for a 'bind' (sticky arms), and then trap for the elbow finish. Tony Ferguson Vs Petis is a good example to follow and shows the efficacy of such an approach. You gotta keep constant pressure on and hunt down the opponent whilst looking for the trap and elbow, though - as he says, space to run away is the problem.
Well the empty handed movements of wing Chun are largely based on the knives form of wing Chun. That's the same for most martial arts. You wouldn't train a soldier to fight one way with a weapon then a completely different way empty-handed, you would base them off of each other and use the same movements for both.
@@willtherealrustyschacklefo3812yup, and the swivelling butterfly knives give a clue to the heart of style more than the chain punching, perhaps - the necessity for the change of ranges from outside the phonebooth to inside the phonebooth.
@@Erime well "chain punching" is actually just a training exercise for developing certain things, it's not a "technique" intended to be used in a fight but to develop movements/ways of moving which you will use in a fight.
Love it, we just don't see it being applied in the cage. I feel like a well rounded mma fighter that could incorporate these Jkd concepts could really gain notoriety. TKD/ muay thai into boxing/ wrestling and really dominating the game inside trapping & finding those ko's more frequently. Typically its a dance to find that 1 hit quitter or transition to ground fighting.
Wing Chun has always worked in ufc, it was banned from being your “main art” because of the brutality of some of the moves. Lot of throat, eye, and groin attacks. It was invented to be the ultimate self defense system in China, it’s idea was that anyone could use it, big, small, weak, or strong. It was invented by a woman and the art consists of using the proper angles and pressure points to your advantage.
You still need to have basic strength for any martial art. Weak people do not train martial arts. Tendon and ligament strength being even more important than muscle strength.
I’ve never seen taking the arm and trapping it under the thigh from top mount, it’s like like the straight jacket from back but now in front! In pure grappling That could be a great set up for Ezekiel chokes
I see it, not often but i do spot it here n there, most ppl wre too focused on wrestleing but ufc was made for it, wasnt made for real MMA. In the BKFC it could also be used alot but ppl dont train it
An eon or two ago I was sparring with a guy who was so much better than me it wasn't funny. Well, not to me. He was a 3rd dan in kenpo. Also a shotokan, kickboxing and bjj background. I can't remember what ranks he had in those. We didn't do any ground sparring at that time. But he was coming at me hard. Especially a shot to my sternum left me messed up for a while.The only time I really managed to hit him was with a Wing Chun thing I had seen in a video the previous day. Only had practiced it in the air. He came in with a flurry of strikes. From a regular semi boxing guard in one motion I went to a tan sao (palm up) into a high sort of bong sao which momentarily intercepted his lead arm. I immediately shot a finger jab (bil jee) under his attacking arm and pulled him in to three rapid vertical punches in the kisser. He was surprised and even a little complimentary. I was just as surprised. Nothing else I was doing really did much. But the feeling of flow in that moment I can't describe.
IMO - a lot of martial arts can and do work. But we don't train them in a way that lets them be effective any more. Seeing stuff more and more like this where UFC is providing a place where we can get that back and incorporate some of these things in an effective way again.
Great philosophy...every type of martial arts is a tool.. depending what tool you need for the job, you use..the more tools you have the more likely you'll be covered for ALL scenarios 😉
What he saying is your hands can read the body with feeling movements n muscle twitch and after awhile especially if you wrestled or your a Gracie head it starts to become second nature almost incrained in you that was first minute after that I'm pretty sure you got the jist even though he's not the best talker this guy
It has absolutely nothing to do with style. It’s all about how the practitioner trains it. If u spend all your time hitting the air, that’s great training, but that’s only a piece of the pie. You have to also be drilling against different opponents, in a controlled learning/scripted manner and in an unscripted manner. That’s what majority of popular combat sports typically train and hence why it “works”. Not because of the inherent nature of the style, but because of how it’s trained
Thanks for watching! Don’t forget to subscribe! What should I do next?

An eon or two ago I was sparring with a guy who was so much better than me it wasn't funny. Well, not to me. He was a 3rd dan in kenpo. Also a shotokan, kickboxing and bjj background. I can't remember what ranks he had in those. We didn't do any ground sparring at that time. But he was coming at me hard. Especially a shot to my sternum left me messed up for a while.The only time I really managed to hit him was with a Wing Chun thing I had seen in a video the previous day. Only had practiced it in the air. He came in with a flurry of strikes. From a regular semi boxing guard in one motion I went to a tan sao (palm up) into a high sort of bong sao which momentarily intercepted his lead arm. I immediately shot a finger jab (bil jee) under his attacking arm and pulled him in to three rapid vertical punches in the kisser. He was surprised and even a little complimentary. I was just as surprised. Nothing else I was doing really did much. But the feeling of flow in that moment I can't describe.

IMO - a lot of martial arts can and do work.
But we don't train them in a way that lets them be effective any more.
Seeing stuff more and more like this where UFC is providing a place where we can get that back and incorporate some of these things in an effective way again.
Great philosophy...every type of martial arts is a tool.. depending what tool you need for the job, you use..the more tools you have the more likely you'll be covered for ALL scenarios 😉
Yeah I thought hang on a second, this looks like FMA, and then hubud comes up and all the rest hahah. Awesome video.
Experience also Kurodaiya the revolution in Martial art
Mr. Nelson is one of the most knowledgeable martial artists in the world. Amazing man.
What he saying is your hands can read the body with feeling movements n muscle twitch and after awhile especially if you wrestled or your a Gracie head it starts to become second nature almost incrained in you that was first minute after that I'm pretty sure you got the jist even though he's not the best talker this guy
Great video!
It's crazy how anyone would think that wing chin dose t work period. It does. Tell master IP that and he would show ya.
i appteciate your thoughts about absorbing pertinent aspects of the many disciplines
It has absolutely nothing to do with style. It’s all about how the practitioner trains it. If u spend all your time hitting the air, that’s great training, but that’s only a piece of the pie. You have to also be drilling against different opponents, in a controlled learning/scripted manner and in an unscripted manner. That’s what majority of popular combat sports typically train and hence why it “works”. Not because of the inherent nature of the style, but because of how it’s trained
One of the best
That was awesome! Real application and not form based religion.
Came her looking for the "proves" portion of the video. It was nowhere to be found.
Lol
Amazing video!
Kung Fu is used all the time in MMA, by the definition of Kung Fu.
Shaolin Quan is used too. Many of the techniques are seen in many martial arts.
What does Rose Namajunas have to do with wing chun?
Rose has trained with this coach for many years.
She had her hair slapped off?
