A martial arts club in Vietnam regularly organizes offline meetings at the park for realistic exchanges in martial arts technique. Exponents from different martial arts face each other using modified MMA rules.
In this fight, a Wing Chun exponent fights a gentleman whose background is in fighting, on the streets, rather than the gym.
When someone distinctly trying a martial art fails, others from that particular discipline claim that he was not in fact actually doing the martial art in question. This is a bizarre response.
The only way to never lose in martial arts is to never play. And the only way to always lose is to never play. If someone tries a martial art under realistic circumstances, they should be commended, not condemned and shunned.
So good job Wing Chun man, you are head and shoulders above the rest, win or lose.
