Defeat jeff chan with wing chun in a mma cage fight, now that you had lessons
Or if he is too big for you, start with defeating gabriel varga with wing chun. Have a look at his signature moves, most professional fighters specialise in a small set. Like jeff with his double leg takedown, two step low kick and his intercepting cross. Then go to the coach or fong and ask them how to cope with it, finally crush him with wing chun.
If get the chance go visit Kevin Secours. He’s a Systema guy which by itself sounds laughable, but he’s an interesting guy who can show you a lot of cool stuff. And he spars! haha
Some type of esgrima! or hema!!
If my background was Wing Chun I would try to feel the strength of fighters from Ashihara or maybe Kyokushin for the purpose of finding a method to protect myself against that kind of brutal attacks. I would start with Ashihara myself.
DUDE!!! For the longest time I show and tell many people that wing chun is very useful on the back on the floor too! I’m so glad he was able to show it!!! You really leverage the floor on your back to chi sao while laying on the floor! His hands look extremely heavy too! He is definitely an experienced Wing Chun practitioner
En Brother Not a practioner myself.but I Always SAW that application. BTW in Fraizer v Foreman you also will se some Wing Chun esque techniques.
I been saying that too! But I do admit it never occurred to me that it’s effective against the cage!
@@kalterverwalter4516its just chinese bare knuckle boxing
Boxers have been using trapping and frames forever . George Foreman really implemented them in his comeback fights
Great observation. I noticed this years ago in one of his “over the hill, out of retirement” fights. He was always using one hand to pin the opponent’s. When you’re much older and slower, you fight smarter
@@guanonline Exactly . Duran is another one I finally picked it up while re-watching as well.
That's because the "cross guard" came into boxing directly from wing Chun /Chinese boxing. (The cross guard being where the "philly shell" came from too btw) Although it actually exists in a few other martial arts as well such as traditional jujitsu.
@@willtherealrustyschacklefo3812The cross guard is in European pugilism forever. And yes, many other styles too.
@@willtherealrustyschacklefo3812play current boxing known today had influence from Filipino martial arts.
Great video ! Greg Nelson definitely embodies the whole absorb what is useful, reject what is uselesss, and add what is essentially your own. A fantastic coach!
Ok this is propably your best vid for information how to apply trapping. Gorgeous.
Thanks for sharing this video Kevin ! TMMA is def key to everything and in life. I appreciate you for showing us this video
Yes! I love that you covered how it isn't about the art, more so the person! A key can open many doors and keep others locked. However, what use is a key if we want to bake a cake? People tend to struggle using the right art in the right way:) Expand the MA toolkit but also love and appreciate each art. Every single one can offer us something if our minds are open. Everything has a use and application! Thanks Kevin!
So cool watching Nelson move! All his fighters use tuishou all the time! Now we know why! Great video Kev!
Amazing stuff!! Thank you both!
Hey! Excellent demonstration and explanation of applying sensitivity drills. You did great Greg!!
Once again, Good Stuff! Thank you 🙏
One of the best episodes Kevin! Have him back soon
Love this- Great examples. Been doing Jeet Kune Do past 2 years now and love learning trapping…👊🏽👊🏽
SO AWESOME, yet again great interview & video Kevin, top of your game!
The elbow hand trapping while in guard! I've done it, but now I know I should train it more
Kevin, great video and interview. His trapping insights were brilliant. Can you do a trapping video? He's so quick in his movements that it's difficult to follow. Can you slow it down and do a video on the subject?
This was great, thank you
That ground trap was great, would love to see a fighter pull that off but they often are too far into trying to finish w/ hammer fists/blows to stop and take the time to think about trapping the defending arm like that, but thats a secure way to finish pretty quickly and give the ref no choice.
This guys got some great moves 👏👏👏
Best post ever, Mr Nelson is incredible
Enjoy your channel Kevin. My Sifu, Alan Orr, has also taught Wing Chun as the stand up and striking art to coach his fighters for MMA and other combat sports with great success.
Not enough people talk about Alan Orr. He's been training fighters for many years using Wing Chun as the base martial art.
Alan Orr is the best at applying wing chun into MMA!
great video as always 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Great video! Thank you! Where can I buy so wonderful sports trousers in old Chinese style ?
wow!!! this is Gold!!
A great video !!!! Thanks. And excellent new word : TMMA
Greg is such a Great teacher! What a Master and a Champion Maker he is.
Excellent presentation, respect
i appteciate your thoughts about absorbing pertinent aspects of the many disciplines
Guy is in great shape to be instructing, actively thinking about what Kevin and he will do next, countering, for that long and not being tired
Great video, very compelling stuff! And that's something that most of us over 30 have learned, it's the artist, not the art. Of course some of these kids commenting here on KZhead are so locked into whatever they practice that they're convinced it is the only effective thing. And I include mainstream MMA in that ("only MT/BJJ works! Karate/Judo is ineffective!"). Everything is effective in its way, it's a question of how skilled you are in applying those tools. It's the artist, not the art. 🙂
Kevin, Greg can play the character Stick from Daredevil! Great VIDEO!
Great episode again! Tbh i feel like there should be more videos about this topic. Wing Chun at this point is attached to such a stigma where the martial art is really suffering. We as Wing Chun practitioner are stereotyped as you do Wing Chun so it must be bad cause there are 0 UFC fighters that use Wing Chun. In fact there are definitely good Wing Chun fighters out there. I hope this voice/message can be heard and vocalized to a wider public.
Greg Nelson is a legend, his techniques to enter the clinch and clinch work is awesome. He's one of the main reasons Brock Lesnar did so well
A true martial artist 🙏
I’ve never seen taking the arm and trapping it under the thigh from top mount, it’s like like the straight jacket from back but now in front! In pure grappling That could be a great set up for Ezekiel chokes
Good ideas come from everywhere and anyone.
Really nice 🙌
Amazing video!
Experience also Kurodaiya the revolution in Martial art
Looks very effective
I like Greg Nelson's use of chi sao and bong sau it's really effective Wing Chun which means He's been practicing for a long time with a partner
wing chun always reminds me of HEMA just hand to hand instead of with weapons
Indeed. The 'knife hands' are a big clue, aren't they. It's just the term 'boxing,' I think, that gives people the wrong idea about its key open hand philosophy. As without swords or spears, it needs to rely on elbows to get the job done - to pressure for a 'bind' (sticky arms), and then trap for the elbow finish. Tony Ferguson Vs Petis is a good example to follow and shows the efficacy of such an approach. You gotta keep constant pressure on and hunt down the opponent whilst looking for the trap and elbow, though - as he says, space to run away is the problem.
Well the empty handed movements of wing Chun are largely based on the knives form of wing Chun. That's the same for most martial arts. You wouldn't train a soldier to fight one way with a weapon then a completely different way empty-handed, you would base them off of each other and use the same movements for both.
@@willtherealrustyschacklefo3812yup, and the swivelling butterfly knives give a clue to the heart of style more than the chain punching, perhaps - the necessity for the change of ranges from outside the phonebooth to inside the phonebooth.
@@Erime well "chain punching" is actually just a training exercise for developing certain things, it's not a "technique" intended to be used in a fight but to develop movements/ways of moving which you will use in a fight.
@@Erime although it too is also part of the knife from
This master proves that Wing Chun, when used in combination with other arts, works in the UFC. What he's doing is very similar to the JKD approach to cross-training popularized by Dan Inosanto and his students.
Love this guy’s work and open approach.
Yeah I thought hang on a second, this looks like FMA, and then hubud comes up and all the rest hahah. Awesome video.
Most ppl that see Wing Chun application in the cage don't know it is Wing Chun, they just automatically assume it is muay thai, boxing etc. Too many casuals watching MMA these days.
Dude, you are on a fantasy trip. Any way to justify a martial art that is crap.
@gregory4154 Anderson Silva, Tony Ferguson and Jon Jones disagree with you. Sit down casual.
@@silveriver9 Nice try. But work on taming your insecurities about an art that has as much practicality as a tai chi master on crack isn't believable. The real truth is, it is boxing, Muay Thai, have techniques that work, not the wing chun. As someone who has been in a few real life and death struggles, I would never suggest wing chun. I would bet my life on that and have. Not buying into the cult fees and kool aid.
@@silveriver9 Hey leaving you a gift: Why Wing Chun Gets Destroyed by Lawrence Kenshin Striking Breakdowns. It funny, he mentions those names you throw outta hope for proof. Only if you have the courage to look.
@gregory4154 Sitting on your armchair doesn't automatically grant you the rank of "expert" 😂. Keep typing piffle to compensate for your insecurity and lack of knowledge of the game.
One of the best
lets gooooo!
😁😁😁😁
Is this a repost? I swear he posted this video before under a different title?
I just made a video about this a day ago, mentioned Greg and Rose, perfect timing lol
I watched it. Great work 👏
@@TheKillaMethod 🙏👌
Great video :)
When I first started Bjj, I was about throwing everything away I trained in my Kung fu days. But after training several years, I’ve been seeing how Kung Fu helps with grappling.
Heck I’m starting wing chun this week hopefully it improves my Brazilian jujitsu game
Some kung fu styles are stand up grappling it makes sense
When Master Chigurh speaks, we listen! 👊
Everything can be implemented from any martial art and add to another one just like MMA mixed martial arts
Thats the point of mma take the best of everything the jabronies miss that point
Chi Sau sticking hands is one of the most useful fighting skills Yes because its fantastic for setting up moves and its freely spontaneous what a joke if some one doesn't have these skill sets it exists in a crude form in some systems although they don't train it as a separate skill.
Problem is that many kung fu teachers know the drills but they cannot apply it in a real situation because they have no experience or knowledge in that. They have good sales techniques only. Then people try to fight like they do during a training drill and they fail and then they say kung fu stinks. Sticky hands is just one drill, a game, to train specific skills. People do that game all day and then try to apply it from a long distance and without reap experience
This is very good teaching and extremely effective but yet haters put down Bruce Lee saying he wasn’t a real fighter when he was a master at this.
Good video.
From where does this "whobad" come? I have heard of Chi Sau of course. With time it will almost be as if you are reading their mind, or you feel as if Sifu is reading yours. Sensitivity to the max.
Dude looks like Sensei Benny 20 years ago.
hubud? so more about kali/silat than wing chun?
Vincent Meng in the ufc
Kung Fu is used all the time in MMA, by the definition of Kung Fu. Shaolin Quan is used too. Many of the techniques are seen in many martial arts.
Using Wing Chun in the UFC is not allowed. I thought it was banned. This makes sense to me because Wing Chun done properly is unstopperable. I am proof of that, I have never lost a streetfight in my life. 50 years on and this still holds true. I have been self-thought from the age of 4, I learnt from the one and only true master. Bruce Lee. I know my lessons only came from watching all of his movies repeatedly, but I am very creative. Please tell me if I am getting it wrong, about whether or not Wing Chun is banned in the UFC. ty
“No, we’re just trapping 🔥💰💯”
Thank you!
nice
Mientras el adversario se mantenga en equilibrio durante el golpeo habrá intercambio por lo que la base es mantener fuera de su centro incluso cada vez que golpea o chequea cada pak sao ,tan sao o golpeó el adversario hay que mantenerlo fuera de su centro.🙏🙏🙏
the best style for a muscleman is tai chi. Western boxing is tai chi used with a fist.
Great video 😊
It's about how one trains & he was innovative.
Bagua
That was awesome! Real application and not form based religion.
When it comes to MMA,I think people have a mindset and mentality that If it’s Kung fu are Karate it should look clean. Real fights don’t work that way and sloppy techniques go out the back door. When another man threatens you are a loved one people tend to forget about looking fancy. 🙏
What does Rose Namajunas have to do with wing chun?
Rose has trained with this coach for many years.
She had her hair slapped off?
Good morning to the Dragon Lee make nice video 💛💛❤️❤️💝🧡🧡💘💘🌟🌟🤎🤎🖤🖤🖤🖤
Isn't this a reupload?
It is I think, I used clips from this video and couldn't find it afterwards
Hate to be that guy but @3:46 somebody ripped a mean one.
What is who bud? Looks like bong lap sau mixed with pax sau?
Jeet kun do

Great thanks
This would make Bruce Lee smile.
He has the bruce lee mentality, use what u need and disregard what you dont nice.
He trained under Dan insansto so not surprising
Wing chun + bjj 😅😅
@jacobharris954 he trained with bruce lee as a student...
@@ssrocky4gaming no, Dan insanstos
The last five years, they've been realizing 99% of the things that got made fun of actually work better than the martial arts they worship
Cause things they made fun are most for self defense, só for it to work in a duel scenario like sports combat it needs some adaptations and they never got time to try to adapt. Until now. Better late than never I guess
WOW...GREAT INFO KEVIN !!!!!
I have been watching MMA and UFC for the last so many decades and I haven't seen anyone who is a expert in these sort of martial arts win in the ring or octagon, great showmanship that's all. I might be wrong but this is only my opinion, peace people.

Some funny shit
It isn't MMA if you don't MIX the MA

Fighting was one thing in the begining of humanity. After millenias of being split and specializing each in their distant corners of the world, it's slowly becoming one again :)
It's almost like MMA is a sport and most of the older traditional martial arts use the empty hand to create muscle memory for learning and becoming proficient at weapons. Hell, give a wushu practitioner a real weapon and watch how ineffective MMA would be against it. MMA is a game, a gladiatorial sport that has as much to do with real world combatives as did the gladiators to the Roman legions, that is, none at all. Every battle in history was won with weapons based martial arts. Even the modern firearms used in combat are a martial art. Why do they train modern militaries in empty handed combat? To make space or create situations where they can break from melee to use their real weapons. If any battle has ever been won by empty handed combatants, it was early in history or it was a freak occurrence. That's the problem with MMA, people want to pretend it is combat and forget the sport part. That's the problem with MMA fanboys, they forget most traditional martial arts use weapons.
BaGuaZhang video?
Mr. Nelson is one of the most knowledgeable martial artists in the world. Amazing man.
People that say “gung- fu” doesn’t work are victims of limited binary thinking; they’re “give a man fish” rather than “teach him how to fish”. All high level martial an artist understand that learning to fight is techniques and attribute development in the beginning… but about principles in the higher levels. But to be fair (as a gung-fu practitioner myself), gung-fu people are the ones mostly responsible for creating the reputation that it has…
❤👍🙏
It's good to see traditional arts transition into MMA more. There is a lot more to Wing Chun then just the sensitivity. My Wing Chun teacher has a lot more to say about the effectiveness of Wing Chun in a real fight that might even translate into MMA success. Check it out and consider what he has to say: www.youtube.com/@SifuWayne
lol it can be useful in fighting like all things but many things its not....wing chun has it good parts and lacks other parts...just like all martial arts..
Brock Lesner..🤣
not just wing chun, something like tong long has huge application to ufc. particulary on inside , with its circular style. Having a deadly pei sau and gow choy is 100% transferable. everytime you see a kung fu guy get beaten up its because the guy is shit and just cannot fight and are from china and in china kung fu was wiped out by ccp and the training is more about performance than warfare
my former sifu in tong long now trains mma fighters
