Roy…wing chun is a brawling art…
Valn…you feel that way because your mixing 2 stand up arts that are way different from eachother…

I think cross-training is defintely a good idea so long as you don’t lose focus. Like maybe applying WC principles to your ground work, studying what needs to be done in certain positions, etc..
Just remember KISS - keep it simple, stupid. If you see an opening where a simple punch would work, but instead you want to take the guy down and get him in to a neck crank, then I know I personally would re-examine the whats and the whys.

coming from a kid, with one year of training, who just started highschool, and who is planning on organizing fights from his back yard… you can fill the rest.
Don’t put WC in a nutshell.

Well, your post is painfully obvious. but yeah.
Kung Fu is an art which was made with multiple attackers in mind, it wasn’t developed as a sport. Whatever =P I don’t feel like adding on to this =P

I may have one year of training but I have figured out alot in a short time.
Just starting highschool could mean something…if i was stupid…
I never said I was planning organized fights in my backyard,that was CanadianBadAss…

By the way,what did you think of what i typed out for crosstraining??

i can’t figure out if whipping hand is really clever or really stupid. he does indeed know about wing chun, but just chooses to try and appear superior to us all. He’s like a less annoying, wing chun version of sifu abel.

I don’t read long posts, but I skimmed through yours. What do I think about your post? If you need to cross train, then you’re learning Wing Chun from the wrong person. Not that there’s many WC teachers out there who actually know the complete system, unless you’re really lucky.
Maybe your totaly wrong and you dont know what your talking about.My Sifu knows what hes doing.He has learned from the best.Wing Chun is incredible.I want to learne how to fight on the ground aswell.You say all this crap and you didnt even really read my post…

It is kinda funny how I respond to what you say and you respond to what I didnt say,you just add more stuff that really means nothing and is incorrect…
Example…I said this…
“I may have one year of training but I have figured out alot in a short time”
and you replied with if I need to cross train I am learning from the wrong guy.
Another…
I said you mistook me for BadAss and you didnt say anything about that.You just ignore things when your wrong and try and play them off like these things never took place.It is quite pathetic…

At this point it’s best to ignore Wiping Hand. I don’t really think he has a very realistic view of modern combat as the lineage he is from does not spar or encourage much contact. I love Ving Tsun but I also am trained to be a fighter( not just a Chi Sao player) so I realize that like any other art ours has strengths and weaknesses. Crosstraining will prepare you for what your opponent is going to do if nothing else. Learn a little Muay Thai or a grappling art and see how well most of your kung fu brothers fare against those arts…my guess would be not very well. Too many of our fellow WC/VT/WT practitioners are arrogant or misinformed because of a lack of fighting experience or experience against other arts.
Interestingly enough I read recently where someone asked Sum Nung why previous generations of Ving Tsun practioners were so much better than those today. I believe his response was that “nobody fights today”. There’s a lot of truth in that.
I have learned silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind; yet, strange, I am ungrateful to these teachers.

You must be taking that “higher road”, that Sihing73 was talking about… good for you.
