Do you feel WC is easier or more difficult to learn compared to other Martial Arts? Do you think more coordination is needed for WC? How much time do you feel is needed to be proficient in WC? Are some people just better off studying something else?
Easy or difficult.
“Do you feel WC is easier or more difficult to learn compared to other Martial Arts?”
Depends on whether the level of instruction from the WC teacher matches that of the other art. Given a good teacher, one should be just as easy as others.
“Do you think more coordination is needed for WC?”
Wing Chun has everything.
“How much time do you feel is needed to be proficient in WC?”
A lifetime.
“Are some people just better off studying something else?”
Some people are better off studying JKD or Karate.
i think wing chun is a harder art compared to many styles. but like everything else, it is easier if you practice hard. i practiced tkd before and later when i went to wing chun, it took me a lot more concentration and dedication to understand the stuff i learned.
i think wing chun does require good hand coordination. i would say wing chun could be learned from anyone, but for some people it might be a little harder. i know it is for me. 
wing chun…
wing chun is easy to learn , but hard to master…

hard to master?
how do you know?
its hard to master because a punch isnt only a punch and a bong sau isnt only a bong sau, learning the correct internal alignment can take quite some time

Probably because, like you and everyone else who practices an art or craft, mastery is that to which he aspires. You, sir, are a condescending creep attempting to hide your bitterness and dubious knowledge behind a veil of arrogant pseudo-intellectualism. You dishonor your Wing Chun family.

I would say it is very difficult because it is very easy to turn it into something else!..Just a thought!

That didn’t really answer his question.
Is more coordination needed? Well, for WC you don’t need to be able to do the splits or bench 400lbs. You need to be coordinated, tho.

i agree.
i get a lot of different ways from different kwoon bros on how to do various things. like when i first learned double pushing tan and lop sau, a lot of different people corrected me. i usually end up having to ask my sifu for sure.
don’t be discouraged wingchunwsl..
you will find that a lot of techniques you learn can be done in a plethora of ways. there is not always one exact set-in-stone way to do many techniques. X can do it one way, Y can do it another. then sifu may show it to you another way. does taht mean that X and Y are wrong? no, because that is obviously the way that tehy learned and/or interpreted the techniques when they were taught. so think of it as more knowledge for you to have and to pass along. a good rule of thumb usually is: if it doesnt feel natural, it’s probably not right (useful). hope i have been some help!
In a fight you should never stick to principles; they should stick to you!

Wing Chun - Easy or Hard
I think other MA’s look at the relative simplicity of Wing Chun and think “that looks easy” - To do a hand shapes whilst in a stances in line during class is very easy, but to coordinate that block whilst attacking, whilst closing a gap, whilst defending your centre line, whilst trying to control your opponents centre line, whilst trying to maintain your root/structure, when your partner is trying to tear your head off (i think you get the picture) IS HARD
Most skills worth having are hard to acquire

I think that it’s easier myself. focusing on teh concepts of forward energy and stuff seem to make techniques fall into place. I’m not saying that I’m great or anything, but it seems to make more sense and flow better than say tkd, because there you really have more to think about rather than the comparative simplicity of wing chun, not the say that wing chun is without depth and very advanced techniques. wc strikes me as kind of like what the name translates to, beautiful springtime; a fresh start, it seems to start from the beginning with slt and then progresses. slt when combined with decent footwork is tough to fight against, and it doesn’t require you to have extreme physical conditioning either.
just a thought
great input, fellas
IMO, Wing Chun theories are not difficult to understand, but are much harder to apply due to the full body coordination that is required. I’ve taken a few different MA’s in the past and found WC to be more challenging both physically and mentally. So, in my humble opinion, I think WC is harder to learn than alot of other MA’s due to the coordination that is needed, but I also feel the payoff is far greater.
thanks mysteri.
whipping hand you are such a tit. you remind me of no_know in many ways. i can’t be bothered explaining these two statements. the first one won’t be a mistery to anyone else.
anyway, my point. if it takes a lifetime to become proficient in wing chun (or any other ma), what the hell is the point in learning it? I believe that it is possible to study wing chun for a lifetime, and to always be learning new things, but if you aren’t proficienct in a couple of years, to beat the average street thung, something is wrong.
Please stop trying to sound all clever and full of wisdom in your posts, and contribute to this forum in a useful way.
