YYlee posteda link to a Macao website several days ago.(Thanks again) The context was muay thai and wing chun.
People are stuck sometimes on uneven information. In any case
some of master Ho’s students have done quite well against the Thais.
There are some action shots (WC vMT) in the English language section on the Tam site.
In any case lete me share a posts via one of Tam’s students:
Dear Joy
I have seen master Tam. He is very happy to hear from you. He is no doubt Wing Chun is effective against Thai Boxing and he did actually. However, why there are many folks not believe in it because chinese martial arts normally is defined as a kindness, power in mind but not fight. you see thai boxing is different.
Master told me that you only strike in fist fighting with your feet moving in a straight line if you are a good fighter.
Chi Sau is a practice of your reaction but not always apply to the fight because your opponents don’t know Chi Sau so they will not play in this with you.
Chum Kiu, the second form of Wing Chun is able to knock out Thai Boxer. (we have a little introduction in original wing Chun in our web.site)
Actually, it is very difficult to tell you how in words. However, we will renew the information of webpage periodically. Please wait for that.
Can you please elaborate on the points raised below?
((Sure, I can try))
Master told me that you only strike in fist fighting with your feet moving in a straight line if you are a good fighter.
((Biu ma- moving straight in))
So if a person is not a good fighter, he should not attack in a straight line? Why?
((He should work harder first in learning how to move in straight-
before entering a match. Bouncy bouncy is not good wing chun-that is often the other person’s game))
Chum Kiu, the second form of Wing Chun is able to knock out Thai Boxer.
Does he mean that you have to be in Chum Kiu level before you can knockout a Thai boxer?
((No- an English problem- You can stilll get a knock out stepping in and punching. But the chum kiu helps you in close quarters elbows work. Of course the individual is a key variable and how much they have really learned and practiced)))

As I understand it, Chum Kiu is primarily about learning to track and follow a moving target - i.e. chasing/facing the centreline (the centreline being the two dimensional plane that interconnects your c.o.g with that of your opponent). In other words squaring up to an opponent who has in some way outflanked you. To me its obvious why its necessary to have this ability in a fight - it is unlikely that the opponent will just stand there.
hi guys i think if you think you can beat a guy doing thai boxing with chum kill if you think that and the guys good you will

Good thai kickboxers are no doubt good fighters, but you have the same is a lot of different styles and arts… kung fu, karate, bjj… etc. Wing Chun has always had a reputation of being a very direct and effective fighting art in China, and I can definitely say that over the years, WC fighters over there (specifically Hong Kong and Macau) have had quite a bit of success against Thai kickboxers. They’ve also had their butts whipped as well… really ultimately depends on the individuals themselves, how they trained, and who they trained under. Wing Chun, especially the conceptual side of it, will provide an individual with sufficient tools to match against an opponent, Thai kickboxer or not, but whether that individual is able to apply or not is another story, and pretty much is very dependent on that individual’s own background and training.
Like NTC said good fighter sare good fighters regardless of what style. It does tough seem like people talk about Thai fighters like they’re invincible. They can be checked like anyone else. Kyokushinkai gave Thai boxers a really hard time ;).

hi guys, ok in hk in the 50 :S if we are going to get smart about this the hong kong wing chun people were badly beaten by thai
boxers in a tounerment in marco i think they had a rematch led by a certain school who name starts with h took the challenge asked , from tang sang the presedent of the vtta at that time mr
h "S pupials got smashed by the thai boxers so sifu chow zse cheuin stephan chan sifu master can"S si dai wan chung took the challenge andbeat the thai boxers and was asked to sit beside grandmaster yip which was a great honer to chow and his clan know your facts joy russellsherry close range combat austalia
Lots of similar stories… I hear a lot of them all the time… Also, I know Stephen Chan personally as a friend, and we share stories from time to time… WC people kick some butt… WC people gets butt kicked. Honestly, not really matter who kicks whose butt or whose butt gets kicked, cause in the end, still boils down to the martial artist and not the art, nor where the artist is from.
Thai kickboxers are definitely good fighters, and I have first hand experience with this, but they are not unbeatable, just like from any art. But one thing is definitely true… if you really don’t know your art well or its mechanics or its foundation/basis, then it would seem very unlikely that you would be able to use it, regardless of whether you are going against kickboxers or not.
