Wing Chun athlete vs Kick Boxer
Reading time: 2 minutes
This video from the versus series shows a Wing Chun athlete vs Kick Boxer in which two different boxing styles are once again testing their differences.
Common misconceptions
This short encounter between two athletes shows more than what you would expect. In fact, both fighters could be described as equally good. The match finishes with parity. A great misconception of Wing Chun sees this style as a martial art referred to inner energies and scenographic useless movements. However, the truth could not be further away.
Both styles are very practical and down to Earth, and this match shows it perfectly. Of course, there are some differences.
Two different styles, but how much?
In Wing Chun, Â punches focus on the center line. In this way, the attack is accompanied by self-defense. However, it takes some time to be able to strike a powerful punch. Consequently, constancy in training and a very practical approach is the basis of this style. If not, you'll end up with the worst Wing Chun possible. Boxer's training is very different since this style of box expects its athletes to train hard. Long training is focused on gaining muscles too. On the contrary, Wing Chun doesn't make of strength it's the primary weapon.
Both styles are very efficient when practiced well. Unluckily, Wing Chun might be much more challenging.
