Wing chun with appropriate practice can be adapted to different contexts…boxing gloves, mma gloves. The context can limit using every tool in the box but wing chun has plenty of tools IMO

I view WC itself as the tool vs. thinking of it in terms of ‘having tools’. Eh, maybe that’s too deep for a thursday… 
And I have experienced the velcro & stitching burn marks on my arms for sparring & bridge work with gloves on. I have a scar on the soft part/palm side of my forearm to show for it.
The only thing is that the edges of the velcro tabbing around the wrists might cause light lacerations to the face. No big deal really.
True, but I’ve had those just from wrestling in a gi. I’ve just had to learn to live with the occasional transient blemish on my handsome visage.
[QUOTE=bennyvt;1159748]I think I came back to the wrong forum. Too much sense here. I have never cut any one with the sides of the gloves or the velcro in vt sparing but left some bad burn marks grappling[/QUOTE]
yep definitely the wrong forum indeed…everyone is agreeing…
we need someone to play devils advocate to keep the thread going…
