Hi,
just found the following WT Fight Club Video:
Go to “Fight Club” (duh). Watch out, it’s about 11 Mbytes.

You just broke rule #1!
Cool Video! Thanks!
Alpha Dog: What’s “rule # 1”?

rule #1 - never talk about fight club.
In this case - definitely true.

6th RULE: No shirts, no shoes.
7th RULE: Fights will go on as long as they have to.
8th RULE: If this is your first night at Fight Club, you HAVE to fight.
Can’t wait `til I get home from school so I can check the videos out.
Imagine if they actually had a stance ! Fun to watch though.
i dont think i saw one shot with good structure in the whole thing.
it seems like their insistance on “straight blasting” (i prefer calling it chain punching) prevented them from doing any WC.
but mabye i’m being too harsh 
at least they spar - although i’m pretty sure it wasn’t full power.
they sure have a gorgeous club.
thats true… wish my hole-in-the-wall school looked like that 
even our wooden man is falling apart! (or is that my fault…)
Looks good! Most of these students seem to be from 1 to 3 years experience - definitely too much chainpunching, headhunting and one-dimensional footwork, but as a sparring format seems very good - I especially like how the support beam was used as a valid part of the environment.
Good video, always nice to see Wing Chun people applying their art. Not much Wing Chun there though, was there? No bong sau, no tan sau. Just chain punching back and forth. Hmmm. Quite a few of those bouts ended up on the floor too, didn’t they? I guess no one likes to be hit. Much easier to close and clinch.
If you have a look at the Escrima clip and then the Wing Tsun clip, you’ll see the sifu seems to have merged the two arts. Is this common in WT kwoons?
That kind of sparring will definatley make them better fighters though i think, good stuff.
Good for them. Takes guts. Anyone who disses should please post a clip of themselves doing better.
BTW- The term head hunting makes me laugh. So does Bas’ “Jezuzgriiist, Liver shot!”
Yes it is quite common to teach escrima and WT at the same school.
Looks like a slapfest. They’ll learn. They’re stepping up to spar so they’ll get it right soon.
1-3 years experience. You’re kidding, right? I would have thought 1 year at the most.
Most people can’t even kick above their waist after 1 year, especially if they have no athletic background. I thought most of them were between 1.5 and 2 years exp.
True that one solid shot would be worth more than 3 of those “chainpunches,” I blame the teacher for that.
But consider that this looked to be alot better than just Chi-sao, push hands, or point-sparring.

If they are with Wing Chun, why would they?

Just an observation regarding the average martial arts class. Of course some people will progress alot more quickly.
But there are reasons to kick above your waist in class: Stretching, big target, conforms with some sporting rules or friendly testing of skills, or so that your partner can practice against such kicks.

I have NO athletic background except for early teens, am 36 now, and have been training under a year, I am not in great shape YET, and I can kick well above my waist.
I must be a freak of nature LOL.
when two cars crash head on the out come is always ugly
ah if there were only such things as angles , distance and timing what a wonderful world it could be.
but they got heart and there doing what they know under pressure , hats off to them
at least there getting a good work and learning balance in motion
Not bad, but I still prefer my Pride videos.
