Wing Chun in the MMA

[Alyda Rodriguez82]

Hey everyone!!

I was listening to Joe Rogan who was talking to Robert Downey JR talk about his journey in WC. Rogan mentioned that one of his favorite fighters uses WC in the octagon and of course, I had to check him out! I guess he also uses the dummy quite a bit.

Here is one of his fights: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8uLVcFiqH8&feature=share

Id love to get some feedback from everyone on what you thought about his use of Wing Chun. Plus, its an awesome fight to watch. *Disclaimer: this one gets pretty bloody, so if thats not your thing. you might just want to look at his fighting highlights. *

Love you all!!

I have a love/hate relationship with MMA.

I feel like saying that the majority of MMA athletes look like great athletes, but look like mediocre martial arts.

It is good that there are some good representations of Wing Chun in MMA, especially since there is so much bad representation already. My question is, do we validation from MMA that traditional gung fu works? I for one don’t, because MMA derives from traditional gung fu.

Anyhow, I wrote a longer rant about this and then decided to dial it back.

Thanks Alyda for sharing and that you do!
