2.) Aside from my small knowledge in TKD, most of my Martial Arts training have in Ving Tsun. In this competition, I actually did exactly how I have learned Ving Tsun.
Fighting in my center line. Trying to keep my punches to the inside and force his hands to the outside, thus if i was hit, the punches would be to the upper or sides of my head. Not being afraid of taking hits as well. I chased the body and not the hands. Thus a lot of times I really wasn’t sure what his hands were doing.

You really believe that you actually “did” what you learned in WCK? Seriously?
OK, where was tan sao, bong sao, fook sao, etc.? Or, didn’t you learn those movements? Where was the YJKYM, the bik ma, the turning horse, etc.? More stuff you didn’t learn? Where was the movement that the forms and drills teach? Didn’t learn that as well? Oh, I see, you did WCK without using any WCK movement. Interesting idea.
Next you should try boxing without using any boxing movement.
I guess the “VT” you were taught was to stand and move like a kickboxer, and to over-extend your straight punches, to drop your hands while kicking, to just charge forward indiscriminately, etc. A real interesting take on WCK.
You were doing kickboxing. Really bad kickboxing at that. You didn’t need any WCK training to do what you did. Most, if not all,of your WCK went out the window. In fact, your performance is a great example of how NOT to do it. Thank you.
And please, don’t retort with “but I was able to beat my unskilled scrub opponent who also didn’t know WCK.”
BTW, your reliance on hackneyed WCK phrases of “fighting in my center line”, “not chasing hands”, “keeping punches to the inside” doesn’t validate your approach of just charging in with relentless straight punches – arguably not even WCK punches. All it shows is that you have a superficial grasp of WCK.
