@@joek613 exactly. We use to teach wing chun back then, and people always asked if it was ip man's lineage. I responded in kind that ours was yuen kay shan's and proceeded to tell them that lineages don't matter because not ip man, nor yuen kay shan is doing the fighting, you are.
@blackrhinomartialarts9298 you'll have to forgive me. Lineage still doesn't matter, the artist does. No matter how great the supposed lineage is, you are doing the translating into techniques. In this case, he probably isn't that good of a wing chun practitioner which is why he got beat up, but that is basically most of the wing chunners especially on youtube because they refuse to evolve. I have only seen 2 videos where wing chun won, one was against a karate master who was smaller and shorter, and two against a muay thai guy being pushed towards a mirror, breaking it. With the latter being the only legit win. People get stuck up on lineages and I have seen that play out since I used to teach the art. Lineages don't matter, the martial artist does. So I applaud Nate because he managed to get a few shots in, can't say the same for most chunners since most kwoons are stuck on drilling instead of pressure testing it on sparring. Jeff emphasized that well, he made wing chun techniques work, so did UFC LW champion Jon Jones, or Ben Saunders. Focus on the artist not the lineage. You can get a sucky lineage and still be a better chunner than a guy with a "legit" lineage but doesn't have the knack for it.
@@ferdi6594 good no need to kill someone over a fucking RUclips video. Muay Thai fighters don’t do that shit cause it’s no benefit. Your chin gets weak with every punch and so does your brain it’s smarter to save the hard shit for fight day
What separates you from other mma practitioners is that your very respectful and open minded about the opponents discipline. As always great video and always learning something new.
@@MMAShredded I give straight forward factual review. Jeff won if this is actual fighting competition. Nate's hands are often guarding too low & at few times he dropped the hand entirely leaving huge gap for Jeff to punch. When wearing 8-12oz boxing 🥊 mitt, numbers of kungfu hand techniques should be avoided as doing so will end up cumbersome and left dangling far requiring extra energy just to draw them back to guard the head. Of course lighter 4oz open hand gloves used in MMA & original kungfu stage fight in 60's will be more practical & realistic.
@@jayjay53313 Jeff is a professional fighter. Of course he won. Nate is a good fighter, but just because you are a good fighter it doesn't mean you can beat a professional fighter.
There are good concepts in Wing Chun that absolutely do work. The difference here is that Jeff has clearly studied and integrated Wing Chun hand trapping into his mixed martial arts 🥋. I started in kung fu and still use hand trapping and straight blast i.e. vertical punches 👊 to this day. They work as both men prove here. But the lack of footwork and head movement makes it a death sentence to rely on it as a fighting style exclusively. Since Bruce Lee's spirit is so prominent here, let's remember his core philosophy: Take what works for yourself and ditch the rest. Absolute props to both men here. To Nate for his bravery and Jeff for his mastery.
Muay Thai fighter and boxers are better at hand traping compared to wing chun guys. You don't need Wing chun to use guard manipulation or hand traping or parries.
Thanks my friend. Well said, his time at New York Martial Arts Academy and lot of fighting experience definitely made it difficult due to his familiarity. Jeff is amazingly adaptable and doesn’t just do what most mma or boxing do. Thanks so much and it was a fun experience and I learned a lot in the exchange.
@@ryu3019A lot of Wing Chun fighters don't spar enough leading to their techniques being bad because they don't actually train them. But Wing Chun definitely provides things in terms of leverage and timing that Boxing and MT don't have. It is just that boxers and MT practitioners often train more efficiently, so the arts can seem superior to Wing Chun in that area because their techniques have actually been trained.
Nate definitely needs to work on his striking more, but this is a real breath of fresh air. Two different arts sparing humbly with no narcissism in sight, just a whole lot of situational actions to break down and learn from. It's a rather rare sight to see a gym with this much flexibility and tolerance toward the idea.
Loved seeing his hand traps actually be somewhat affective. Respect giving this guy a chance to test his abilities. Also love that he's taking the sparring well and not getting emotional when his moves don't exactly go his way
Man you are the perfect sparring partner a lot of traditional martial artist should spar with you to demonstrate their styles for safety and educational purposes I learned soo much watching this
I do yin style Baguazhang and I would loveeee the chance to spar Jeff if he ever came to Texas lol (I’m a bit camera shy though). Sparrings super important for traditional martial arts to practice and get comfortable with. Luckily you’re seeing more and more of it with this younger generation of practitioners.
Mixed martial arts is better than one martial art because you can take something useful from each one and compensate for their limitations. Wing Chun is great if you use it in tandem with other fighting styles/techniques.
There's nothing sad about this, show some respect. These are 2 high level guys. You can't even see what the wing chun guy is bringing to the table clearly. Watch again and notice his level of poise when performing the parry strike etc.
Love Ninja Nate to death man, but props to you as well man for keeping a unbiased view on Martial Arts. Alot of people throw shade at Wing Chun and other Kung Fu styles, but you actually take the time to spar some these guys upload it to YT and learn from it. Amazing Video😁
Without traditional Martial arts, there would be no MMA.🤷🏾♂️ MMA guys dissing traditional Martial arts would be the equivalent of someone dissing their grandfather.
The matched energy is so impressive. I always find guys wanting to up the energy for advantage and ruin the flow. This was so nice to watch. Thank you.
Great Wing Chun sparring sesh and commentary. I would have loved to have seen (and probably benefited from ) a conversation between the 2 of you afterwards about the sparring sesh. You make awesome, educational content - keep it up!
Very cool to see the trapping. Glad to see angled fighting stances and more boxing techniques, not the usual square stance of wing chun, which gets then into trouble in sparring with other styles. Thanks for sharing!
Wing Chun has very underrated parries and wrist control. They have a higher than normal share of weirdo, but there's some very good pieces that I feel could shine if Wing Chun put more of an emphasis on hard sparring.
@@eclipsis1999 I definitely agree, people shouldn't be regularly killing each other in the gym. However I also strongly feel the first time you get cracked should NOT be in a real fight. Much better to be in a safer environment with people that have some marginal investment in you continuing to breathe. Like everything there's a time and place for it. That's to say nothing of the more art side of understanding what works or doesn't against real harm.
Pak Sao and other elbow/forearm blocks can easily be retrofitted into a strike. It was lost for the longest but Wing Chun is essentially just Boxing but with different executions; though doesn't help that the practitioners nowadays don't emphasize the nowadays boxing format of striking. Even though there are methods of dodging in Kung Fu, like what a boxer would call "rope-a-dope" or bobbing and weaving, none of that is really used in the system. On that note, I do believe that what you call "Hard Sparring" is the type of sparing shown in the video? Since anything that could be considered "hard sparring" past what is portrayed in this video is just a full-blown fight.
Any chance of you showing a new spar with a relative first timer? Demonstrating beginning sparring methodology and etiquette, with everything that you've learned? I think it would be a great video to direct to people beginning their journey, so the next generation can evolve in the best way possible
I'm a big late to the show but I simply had to say how much I appreciate this video. You show genuine respect for Sifu Nate and his art, but your sparring is still an uncompromising stress test. If you saw an opening, you took it (and vice versa). Thank you for putting out such great content.
There's a martial artist at the Dojo I go to named Dion who's background is wing Chun, Kung fu , and kickboxing style. He's one of my best sparring partners. This was cool to see!
Sparred a wing chun guy like this before, I noticed he was much better in closer range, where I (a tkd and sanda practitioner) was worse at, he also was able to apply some of his hand trapping techniques and they were very interesting to see performed, very fast as well, trying to throw many hits after a successful parry or trap. After noticing that though I just kept to the outside and outboxed, working my jab and cross, and then trying to be quicker and smarter when infighting him
That was awesome gentleman, I'm a student of Shaolin Kempo and Japanese Kyokushin, and really enjoyed them both. Lots of hands and head movement.. Love it... Will look you both up . Again thank you very much.
Nice demonstration of Wing Chun. You can see the Pros and Cons of really staying within the movements of WC. Since hand speed is so vital to WC, I'd like to see the same match with headgear and MMA gloves.
Theres a big difference wotg intensity concerning those complacent with training and those who are really attempting to apply technique for more dmg output. Without being aware of it thd average person can be alot more snappy and precise at any level by being fully immersed which is what proper sparring is for
Because Jeff is soo experienced and masters alot of Styles that give him an advantage, just look how he immediately adapted to his style and applied wing chung trapping, that is thanks to the experience of having practiced many styles of martial arts
Love this collaboration! It's refreshing to have a Wing Chun practitioner sparring! It does work, it's just most people don't spend the time needed in sparring to see how it all fits together. Only things I would harp on, having a lot of WC experience, are the footwork and guard. It's cool to see the addition of boxing style head bobbing, but the Wing Chun fighting stance has the arms in place as a set of extremely powerful frames guarding the centerline with the desire to engage with the opponent's limbs, not dodge them. If they don't engage your guard, only more roundabout attacks are open, but the same guard can handle those initial attacks with minimal shifting of the hands or torso. All the techniques like lap sau, pak sau, etc. are follow ups to engaging that guard, not standalone blocks. This may seem rigid, but that's where the angled footwork comes in, cutting angles shortly after contact to get off of the line of attack or get to an advantageous position. Now I can't read his mind to know his intent, and he obviously handled himself pretty well, so I'm just going to say I'm super happy to see Sifu Nate putting his skills to the test. Hope to see even better Wing Chun sparring in the future!
What I'd really like to see is a conversation between the two of you afterwards, discussing what worked and didn't work, thought processes, etc. True knowledge comes from understanding both sides of the equation.
Your footwork and movement patterns often remind me of Dominic Cruz, especially in this session Great breakdown! Trapping is in a lot of arts so it stands to reason that it's a functional thing when trained properly
@@guillaumebartys4437 i always felt that follow up kick is lacking on MMA. You combo punch and as you dodge back while on block. At the same time, you are kicking up. It's great for when they are following your body to punch you. It's so open from below. Kicking the leg, body or head. Or combo punch moving forward then front kick.
@@algladyou Cruz has that wrestling debuff going on that allows him to get away with not getting kicked in the face, as he could easily set his head movement up to dodge follow up kicks with his awkward movement and the threat of a takedown making strikers hesitate on launching those kicks in the first place. A lot of other good wrestleboxers have this going for them, actually.
I very enjoyed to watch the sparring... I myself JKD partitioner, and before that studied Thai Boxing and Karate... It is great to see this wing chan techniques properly implemented... I will myself try to do everything you did when i spar... Thanks a lot...
Absolutely wonderful. This is what martial arts is all about. Two disciplines come together to better one another. Both parties come out learning more and still have mutual respect for one another. Jeff, when are you going to fight again!?
WC is an easy target to ridicule coz a HUGE amount of its practitioners refuse to acknowledge its shortcomings and adapt to real/modern fighting, and also refuse to stress-test their skills in actual sparring. As if strictly adhering to a tradition that s divorced from reality is a badge of honour. And whenever a WC practitioner loses, “that’s not real WC”
@@austinsavage People often mistake what real fighting is. In real fighting you often don't know when or who you are going to fight. Sometimes it's in the street, other times in confined spaces. Might involve weapons or multiple attackers. There are no rules, no rounds, no protective gear, no weightclasses and no refferees. The gap is often closed emmediatly. You are literally fighting to survive and get away. A lot of "Streetfights" happen because of ego. In many cases you can just walk away without fighting but people start to act tough, get close, push and shove before striking or grappling. In real unavoidable violence you have no choice and the attacker often closes the gap in order to attack. To get better at handeling real violence you need certain attributes. Having some good awareness, basic punches and anti wresteling is enough for most situations in your life if you try to avoid violence at all costs. Stuff like this might look like real fighting, but it's easy to forget how many things are still certain. ruclips.net/video/Ie5QQowQiKU/видео.html&ab_channel=manneredchimpanzee Everything you do in a martial art has pro's and con's, but the goal is to apply the right thing at the right time. Combat sports athletes figure out what is effective by feeling out their opponent at a distance, using feints and setups to land their heavier strikes. Although these techniques are very dangerous the fight has become more of a physical chessgame. Real wing-chun focusses on unavoidable violence and assumes the coherent context. If you take wing-chun out of the context it's designed for and put it in an combat sports environment it will have to change in order to be the most effective in that situation. This is possible but you would have to understand the system really well, which brings me to my next point. Wing-chun has been watered down and therefore most don't understand it well. Ip Man only had a hand full of students that were actual fighters, many after just taught for the money and removed the combat aspects in change for more chi sao. Most of the real fighters went to teach in Europe rather than the US, so the wing-chun there is even worse. Take a look at the examples below, can you guess which type of training and techniques is more fit for actual fighting? A) ruclips.net/video/3dbrbRPiXww/видео.html&ab_channel=RedBoatWingChunkungFuDenmark B)ruclips.net/video/pZPdcljdWW4/видео.html&ab_channel=SifuJanosKonya C) ruclips.net/video/Y5c6M1IfUTA/видео.html&ab_channel=VTCombatScience
They shouldn't. The Wing Chun dude was getting hit clean over and over and over and over again. If this sparring wasn't at like 30%, dude would've gotten knocked out a dozen times
Hey Jeff, I am not one to write a comment, but I just wanted to thank you for all your videos. I just started training mma at Factory X in CO. I am 24 years old and was pursuing a professional soccer dream that came to an end. I just saw your video, "Is it too late?". You have inspired me to see what could possibly happen with consistency and discipline in MMA... At the very least I'm gaining a ton of knowledge and it keeps my ego in check which is much needed!! You're a blessing Jeff! Can't wait to keep learning from your videos.
Proves that hybrid styles work as you apply what's in front of you at that second. Well done to the wing chun guy, not a fan of that style as its very linear and restrictive. You can see that he also is hybrid in his approach too. I would say to any youngster starting out to take that as a the single most important lesson in developing yourself, don't restrict yourself to your style, mix it up and borrow and spar with as many different styles as you can so you can learn.
Thank you Jeff for this superb trapping demonstration (yes of course it works), its really fascinating to me and i would buy any trapping course on your homepage instantly! People in the comments should realize, that advanced Biu Gee Concepts involves head movement, curved hooks, good angles (wooden dummy form and application) and advcanced foot work. People mistake the basic beginner techniques like straight punches for the whole system; its only a first fraction believe me! The MMA World is ready to accept that trapping techniques (pak / lap / jut sao) work in sparring, redirecting is an important concept here as well, shoulder / ellbow rolls (bong / quan sao) did always work in boxing, the vertical jap is used by bas rutten exclusively in his mma teaching style as well as the square stand (IRAS), that you could see in Ramon Deckers and Mike Tysons approach (i dont claim they had any JKD or WC influences only similar concepts). I could go on with those examples. Finally as Wing Chun is a southern kung fu boxing style, it is dumm to say, that it looks like boxing: Because its a short range, infight kung fu boxing style! And yes i train a lot of styles, but people need to pay the heritage of traditional styles some respect! You could say that JKD was the first MMA approach, but still respected its origin...
@@MMAShredded Thank you Jeff for every technique video that you did over the years! I bought your head movement course today and the quality is again really impressive. If you could do a trapping video with small mma gloves, that would be really fascinating to see! Thanks again!
I think we get to see more wing chin techniques, if you guys sparred with mma gloves since it’s more open handed. A lot of the techniques involves palm and grabbing, which is hard to utilize w/ big Thai gloves. But overall it was pretty dope
@@alexhoward1884 well yeah, they’re not gonna spar 100% pwr w/ smaller gloves, a light and controlled spar. In jeet kune do & wing chun classes we do spar lightly with mma gloves, obs wearing more protective gear. Similar to Kyokushin.
great video 👏, jeff's experience in sparring is visible, that's why even though I am a wing chun teacher, I study SANDA and jiu jitsu and stay active in combats and sparring.. jeff chan is excellent, respect!
Respeito e treino wing chun. Fui faixa preta Taekwondo, marrom de karatê e grau vermelho de Muay Thai, mas o wing chun não sai bem contra a mão do boxe. No treino é uma coisa, na tática. Mas na luta.... dá não
Great vid. I started in JKD school which taught Jun Fan and Muay Thai. I learned things there that didn't get taught in other places and they are little sneaky deviations that I've been able to add into my game.
I know it's a small thing but I would kind of like to see this if they were wearing MMA gloves, I find when I'm sparring and trying to practise Wing Chun the chunky boxing gloves make it such a pain in the ass it's like wearing over mits while trying to work on something. xD Loved it all the same tho, thanks Jeff.
As a Brazilian jiujitsu blackbelt who spent way too many years in traditional wing Chung… (before I was ever a JJ black belt), No disrespect to the WC practitioner, but this is a perfect example of what, putting so many years and time into Wing Chun will get you. Sad but true. It’s nearly as bad as aikido in terms of real applicable combat. It’s not as bad but it’s a close second. Maybe it worked 500 years ago? Who knows…
Give the guy a break man. Your comparing an active practitioner of the wing chun and jkd style and comparing him to a man who has learned multiple martial arts and has fought inside the cage. This is what wing chun is supposed to be. Not a bunch of slapping bs that u see all over the internet.
Awesome to see guys. Having practiced mma and wing chun, it’s great to see true martial artists showcasing a purist sparring bout. Great offensive and countering techniques from you guys! I personally feel Nate would have a better edge without having to use gloves since wing chun is mainly practiced without the gloves and he’ll have better feel and power deflection usage of his hands. The gloves prob feel to bulky for him to flow with. But again it’s sparring you don’t want to get real fists landing in your face. 😂🤜 like Bruce Lee’s says, adapt, absorb what is useful and discard what isn’t applies to martial arts fighting 👊
Yes exactly but definitely been adapting to the gloves for safety of sparring partners. It’s possible but definitely not as efficient since you have to make slightly wider movements.
@@SifuNate Insetad of boxing style sparring gloves I would suggest MMA sparring gloves which can be worn without wraps if you like (so they don't restrict hand movement). These are open handed like MMA competition gloves but they have thicker padding on the hand/knuckle area. I think these would be superior to boxing style gloves for a style like wing chun.
@@MMAShredded yeah would love to see that guys! Mma grapper style gloves like enter the dragon hahah True martial arts spirit! Keep at it 👊love yout content and channel Jeff!
I’m curious to see how the trapping during sparring would look if you both wore MMA gloves? I think believe that Wing Chun / JKD trapping is more effective in MMA gloves. Thoughts?
Well, one would better hand dexterity in MMA gloves, but boxing/Thai gloves are bigger, so there is more to "catch/latch on" to. It might depend on the individual, or maybe there's enough of a difference.
It was cool to see wing chun get battle tested like this. I think that wing chun can work on normal soft humans that never train in any way. However, I wouldn’t rely on it verse anyone better. Just a strong athletic person can muscle thru the hand traps, pick you up and slam you. Or just slug you. I do think that practicing it, while honing your other skills, it can become a very useful tool in your bag of tricks. I hand trap jabs sometimes myself, and I can see how it can be effective. Just not gonna work if you only use wing chun. It’ll be good for parry’s and counters, and maybe even to redirect an opponent’s attack, but, I don’t believe only wing chun will be the most effective. There’s also other martial arts and techniques that can be used the same way as wing chun.
I think Wing Chun system from Sifu Martin Dragos has improved the usability of Wing Chun big time I have been practicing it for a while and it had big impact on my sparring and overall ability because it covers many weaknesses in the traditional Wing Chun Thanks for the video!! Keep it up 💪💪 I have been watching and learning from you for a while as well, appereciate your work!!
For all those who say "wing chung doesn't work".. Man come on Jeff is a professional fighter, who has practiced several styles and has perfected his technique by sparring with other fighters.. it is obvious that Jeff is going to look better, no matter what practice martial art that if someone with more experience and more techniques comes, they will always take the lead 🤣🤣. I mean, he also used wing chung principles in sparring, so wing chung works if you combine it with other styles, it gives you more tools to complement your arsenal so... IT'S NOT THE MARTIAL ART, IT'S THE FIGHTER... REMEMBER IT 👊🏿
Bullshit. It is the martial art and it is the fighter. For example you can't put a boxer to fight in muy thai the boxer has no training in leg kicks and his shin would not be conditioned for that. One kick to his face and he's out because he has no experience defending it. You put a bullshit unrealistic martial art like aikido or wing chun against mma obviously the mma fighter would win. To an extent it is the fighter but it is also the martial art. You can't cpmpare a completely useless martial art to something that is effective. Jeff was going super easy here and making this guy look like an amateur. Do you know how bad you have to be for someone to play around with you and make your style look that ineffective
honestly this will benefit Sifu Nate so much in terms of sparring without getting hurt while at the same time it was awesome to see that you adopted a few of his trapping techniques
Y'all are being way too nice 😅. Exaggerated head movement, pawing instead of properly parrying, lazy arm punches, leaning back in fear while throwing, plodding footwork. Worst of all, low fight IQ. "Hand trap, jab cross, slip in" over and over. Falling for all of Jeff's feints and traps. Not that there's shame in Jeff getting the better of you.. But he obviously has done little real sparring, or wing Chung is really that bad. If we didn't know he was a Wing Chung superstar we might think he has half a year of training. Don't know
Wing chun is just bad. Jeff just trying to lend a hand to a dying dance/aerobics discipline like tai chi, wing chun isn’t a combat art at least not in its current form today. Maybe it never was because even Bruce Lee said a “person who trains boxing or wrestling for one year will defeat any martial artist” by martial artist he was referring to stuff like wing chun…
Wing Chun is really good at blocking punches with your face. This superstar really shows us how to use minimal effort to allow your opponent get the most hits on your face as possible

Great video! Clear demonstration of wing chun’s limitations once you add footwork / distance control to the mix. Kudos to both of you for doing this!
thanks for watching!
Jeff beat him at his own trapping game to be honest
Mixed martial arts is better than one martial art because you can take something useful from each one and compensate for their limitations. Wing Chun is great if you use it in tandem with other fighting styles/techniques.
This is not wing chun, this is half decent JKD
I see the wing chun fighter at a clear disadvantage giving solely to a lack of sparring experience. That makes a big difference!
Jeff always bringing the good stuff. Thanks for the bid and the breakdowns.
thanks for the support :))
The sad part is that you are doing more wing Chun moves than him…
Guess you didn't really pay attention to video...
Well this shows that is not the martial art but the fighter
There's nothing sad about this, show some respect. These are 2 high level guys. You can't even see what the wing chun guy is bringing to the table clearly. Watch again and notice his level of poise when performing the parry strike etc.
It’s about who trains more realistically, sparring is the most important thing. Wing chun is purely theory and no reality.
I love how calm and collected your sparring is
thank you!!
Not always hahaha
Nice to see the analysis and actually pointing out hand traps during the sparring, makes it easier to see the Wing Chun actually being used.
Good on Nate for taking the gentle beating. Can't say I'd fare any better than him 😅
You wouldn’t survive a spar against him
@@Deoslatt he'd wreck me.
@@SakanLam id wreck you too. And im not talking about fighting 😩
@@Deoslatt okay dude 😒
Love Ninja Nate to death man, but props to you as well man for keeping a unbiased view on Martial Arts.
Alot of people throw shade at Wing Chun and other Kung Fu styles, but you actually take the time to spar some these guys upload it to YT and learn from it.
Amazing Video😁
thank you!!
Without traditional Martial arts, there would be no MMA.🤷🏾♂️
MMA guys dissing traditional Martial arts would be the equivalent of someone dissing their grandfather.
@@X-Factor-22 I agree 100%
@@dipayandey913 Well said Brother
@@X-Factor-22 hard to hate such old ass styles too. Yeah wing Chun isn't as good as MMA. Neither is late 1800s boxing.
The matched energy is so impressive. I always find guys wanting to up the energy for advantage and ruin the flow. This was so nice to watch. Thank you.
:)
Very inspiring to see you both work :) Thank you ❤🔥
Great Wing Chun sparring sesh and commentary. I would have loved to have seen (and probably benefited from ) a conversation between the 2 of you afterwards about the sparring sesh. You make awesome, educational content - keep it up!
thanks man!!
Very cool to see the trapping. Glad to see angled fighting stances and more boxing techniques, not the usual square stance of wing chun, which gets then into trouble in sparring with other styles. Thanks for sharing!
thanks for watching!
So incredibly proud that this happened at the martial arts school I go to and with one of the instructors!
Another excellent display functional application of tradittional concepts. Thanks Jeff!
Wing Chun has very underrated parries and wrist control. They have a higher than normal share of weirdo, but there's some very good pieces that I feel could shine if Wing Chun put more of an emphasis on hard sparring.
Cheers!
Nobody should put emphasis on hard sparring
@@eclipsis1999 I definitely agree, people shouldn't be regularly killing each other in the gym. However I also strongly feel the first time you get cracked should NOT be in a real fight. Much better to be in a safer environment with people that have some marginal investment in you continuing to breathe. Like everything there's a time and place for it. That's to say nothing of the more art side of understanding what works or doesn't against real harm.
Check out Alan Orr on RUclips. He is a legit Wing Chun instructor with students regularly competing in boxing and MMA
Pak Sao and other elbow/forearm blocks can easily be retrofitted into a strike. It was lost for the longest but Wing Chun is essentially just Boxing but with different executions; though doesn't help that the practitioners nowadays don't emphasize the nowadays boxing format of striking. Even though there are methods of dodging in Kung Fu, like what a boxer would call "rope-a-dope" or bobbing and weaving, none of that is really used in the system. On that note, I do believe that what you call "Hard Sparring" is the type of sparing shown in the video? Since anything that could be considered "hard sparring" past what is portrayed in this video is just a full-blown fight.
Any chance of you showing a new spar with a relative first timer? Demonstrating beginning sparring methodology and etiquette, with everything that you've learned? I think it would be a great video to direct to people beginning their journey, so the next generation can evolve in the best way possible
good video idea! will def see what I can do
I'm a big late to the show but I simply had to say how much I appreciate this video. You show genuine respect for Sifu Nate and his art, but your sparring is still an uncompromising stress test. If you saw an opening, you took it (and vice versa). Thank you for putting out such great content.
Absolutely schooled him! So nice of you to keep power at 20%
Different levels between a practitioner vs Jeff who has so much experience in real combat
Facts, Jeff is a profesional fighter..
There's a martial artist at the Dojo I go to named Dion who's background is wing Chun, Kung fu , and kickboxing style. He's one of my best sparring partners. This was cool to see!
Beautiful sparring,full of techniques and energy. Credit to both guys. Great job!
thanks for watching!!
Respect all round. Sparring done right and great to see it in the spirit it was intended.
Sparred a wing chun guy like this before, I noticed he was much better in closer range, where I (a tkd and sanda practitioner) was worse at, he also was able to apply some of his hand trapping techniques and they were very interesting to see performed, very fast as well, trying to throw many hits after a successful parry or trap. After noticing that though I just kept to the outside and outboxed, working my jab and cross, and then trying to be quicker and smarter when infighting him
That was awesome gentleman, I'm a student of Shaolin Kempo and Japanese Kyokushin, and really enjoyed them both. Lots of hands and head movement.. Love it... Will look you both up . Again thank you very much.
Thanks for watching !
Stop the cap,kyokushin doesn't have head movement it doesn't even allow punches and elbows to the face
@@ryu3019 not sure who you studied or if you did.. I know they're always be whack feedback...
@@MMAShredded again sir, that was an awesome video, thank you for sharing.
@@Stewcrew8 you don't need to be Sherlock Holmes just watch a few kyokushin match they never move their head
Respect to that sparing. Good job both.
Great content as always, Jeff! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you!!
Nice demonstration of Wing Chun. You can see the Pros and Cons of really staying within the movements of WC. Since hand speed is so vital to WC, I'd like to see the same match with headgear and MMA gloves.
or no gloves
i just feel a boxer would be able to tear through those hand traps and blocks with the speed and power of his punches, overwhelming that style.
How about merge with boxing?!
Sometimes. It depends on the range. Duran's inside techniques were very similar to wing-chun and Duran's arguably the GOAT of boxing.
Theres a big difference wotg intensity concerning those complacent with training and those who are really attempting to apply technique for more dmg output. Without being aware of it thd average person can be alot more snappy and precise at any level by being fully immersed which is what proper sparring is for
Liked as soon as this started man! Keep going you beauty! Can't wait to watch this!
thanks man!
Jeff has to be the best mma guy on RUclips thanks for all you do your really doing good work for those who don’t have access to mma gyms etc
thanks man!!
soooo...why is Jeff's Handtrapping more effective, then from the Guy who teaches a Martial Art based on Handtrappin? :/
Because Jeff's boxing works. The other guy is stuck in an IP Man movie
Because Jeff is soo experienced and masters alot of Styles that give him an advantage, just look how he immediately adapted to his style and applied wing chung trapping, that is thanks to the experience of having practiced many styles of martial arts
@@markmessi9020 Most likely the wing chun guy doesnt do much sparring.
@@veganninja5886 yeah thats other reason.. Jeff spar with everybody, also dont forget that he is a profesional fighter lol
Diff style of trapping ! :)
Love this collaboration! It's refreshing to have a Wing Chun practitioner sparring! It does work, it's just most people don't spend the time needed in sparring to see how it all fits together. Only things I would harp on, having a lot of WC experience, are the footwork and guard. It's cool to see the addition of boxing style head bobbing, but the Wing Chun fighting stance has the arms in place as a set of extremely powerful frames guarding the centerline with the desire to engage with the opponent's limbs, not dodge them. If they don't engage your guard, only more roundabout attacks are open, but the same guard can handle those initial attacks with minimal shifting of the hands or torso. All the techniques like lap sau, pak sau, etc. are follow ups to engaging that guard, not standalone blocks. This may seem rigid, but that's where the angled footwork comes in, cutting angles shortly after contact to get off of the line of attack or get to an advantageous position. Now I can't read his mind to know his intent, and he obviously handled himself pretty well, so I'm just going to say I'm super happy to see Sifu Nate putting his skills to the test. Hope to see even better Wing Chun sparring in the future!
thanks for watching!!
I LOVE THIS! I feel like Jeff is the best to do collabs with other more traditional art forms!
:)
What I'd really like to see is a conversation between the two of you afterwards, discussing what worked and didn't work, thought processes, etc. True knowledge comes from understanding both sides of the equation.
Your footwork and movement patterns often remind me of Dominic Cruz, especially in this session
Great breakdown!
Trapping is in a lot of arts so it stands to reason that it's a functional thing when trained properly
thank you!!
thought the same, also great reaction time, thie feels like watching Matrix
yeah but be careful of middle and high kick if you use often those head movement
@@guillaumebartys4437 i always felt that follow up kick is lacking on MMA. You combo punch and as you dodge back while on block. At the same time, you are kicking up. It's great for when they are following your body to punch you. It's so open from below. Kicking the leg, body or head. Or combo punch moving forward then front kick.
@@algladyou Cruz has that wrestling debuff going on that allows him to get away with not getting kicked in the face, as he could easily set his head movement up to dodge follow up kicks with his awkward movement and the threat of a takedown making strikers hesitate on launching those kicks in the first place.
A lot of other good wrestleboxers have this going for them, actually.
Pretty wild stuff! I've never seen this much trapping in sparring before with boxing gloves on.
cheers!
I very enjoyed to watch the sparring... I myself JKD partitioner, and before that studied Thai Boxing and Karate... It is great to see this wing chan techniques properly implemented... I will myself try to do everything you did when i spar... Thanks a lot...
Absolutely wonderful. This is what martial arts is all about. Two disciplines come together to better one another. Both parties come out learning more and still have mutual respect for one another. Jeff, when are you going to fight again!?
Thanks for watching !!
It is obvious that Jeff has a big respect on Wing Chun. I hope every MMA fighter has this kind of level of respect on Wing Chun.
Cheers!
WC is an easy target to ridicule coz a HUGE amount of its practitioners refuse to acknowledge its shortcomings and adapt to real/modern fighting, and also refuse to stress-test their skills in actual sparring. As if strictly adhering to a tradition that s divorced from reality is a badge of honour. And whenever a WC practitioner loses, “that’s not real WC”
@@austinsavage People often mistake what real fighting is. In real fighting you often don't know when or who you are going to fight. Sometimes it's in the street, other times in confined spaces. Might involve weapons or multiple attackers. There are no rules, no rounds, no protective gear, no weightclasses and no refferees. The gap is often closed emmediatly. You are literally fighting to survive and get away.
A lot of "Streetfights" happen because of ego. In many cases you can just walk away without fighting but people start to act tough, get close, push and shove before striking or grappling. In real unavoidable violence you have no choice and the attacker often closes the gap in order to attack. To get better at handeling real violence you need certain attributes. Having some good awareness, basic punches and anti wresteling is enough for most situations in your life if you try to avoid violence at all costs.
Stuff like this might look like real fighting, but it's easy to forget how many things are still certain. ruclips.net/video/Ie5QQowQiKU/видео.html&ab_channel=manneredchimpanzee
Everything you do in a martial art has pro's and con's, but the goal is to apply the right thing at the right time. Combat sports athletes figure out what is effective by feeling out their opponent at a distance, using feints and setups to land their heavier strikes. Although these techniques are very dangerous the fight has become more of a physical chessgame.
Real wing-chun focusses on unavoidable violence and assumes the coherent context. If you take wing-chun out of the context it's designed for and put it in an combat sports environment it will have to change in order to be the most effective in that situation. This is possible but you would have to understand the system really well, which brings me to my next point. Wing-chun has been watered down and therefore most don't understand it well. Ip Man only had a hand full of students that were actual fighters, many after just taught for the money and removed the combat aspects in change for more chi sao. Most of the real fighters went to teach in Europe rather than the US, so the wing-chun there is even worse.
Take a look at the examples below, can you guess which type of training and techniques is more fit for actual fighting?
A) ruclips.net/video/3dbrbRPiXww/видео.html&ab_channel=RedBoatWingChunkungFuDenmark
B)ruclips.net/video/pZPdcljdWW4/видео.html&ab_channel=SifuJanosKonya
C) ruclips.net/video/Y5c6M1IfUTA/видео.html&ab_channel=VTCombatScience
They shouldn't. The Wing Chun dude was getting hit clean over and over and over and over again. If this sparring wasn't at like 30%, dude would've gotten knocked out a dozen times
@TheGuyCalledX Jeff is a professional MMA fighter, who has typical MMA and traditional martial arts under his belt, what did you expect?
A collab I never saw coming, Nate’s one of the only people I’ve seen on the internet use real wing chun/jkd and how it is supposed to be. W video.
cheers!!
Thank you!
WING CHUN/Ving Tsun ≠ JKD
Hey Jeff, I am not one to write a comment, but I just wanted to thank you for all your videos. I just started training mma at Factory X in CO. I am 24 years old and was pursuing a professional soccer dream that
came to an end. I just saw your video, "Is it too late?". You have inspired me to see what could possibly happen with consistency and discipline in MMA... At the very least I'm gaining a ton of knowledge and it keeps my ego in check which is much needed!! You're a blessing Jeff! Can't wait to keep learning from your videos.
im so glad to hear man! im excited for your journey man. you are still a baby. keep it up!!
Never give up and never surrender man. It's never too late!
Very sharp! Some of your best head-movement yet
Thank you!!
Proves that hybrid styles work as you apply what's in front of you at that second. Well done to the wing chun guy, not a fan of that style as its very linear and restrictive. You can see that he also is hybrid in his approach too. I would say to any youngster starting out to take that as a the single most important lesson in developing yourself, don't restrict yourself to your style, mix it up and borrow and spar with as many different styles as you can so you can learn.
cheers!!
Thank you Jeff for this superb trapping demonstration (yes of course it works), its really fascinating to me and i would buy any trapping course on your homepage instantly! People in the comments should realize, that advanced Biu Gee Concepts involves head movement, curved hooks, good angles (wooden dummy form and application) and advcanced foot work. People mistake the basic beginner techniques like straight punches for the whole system; its only a first fraction believe me! The MMA World is ready to accept that trapping techniques (pak / lap / jut sao) work in sparring, redirecting is an important concept here as well, shoulder / ellbow rolls (bong / quan sao) did always work in boxing, the vertical jap is used by bas rutten exclusively in his mma teaching style as well as the square stand (IRAS), that you could see in Ramon Deckers and Mike Tysons approach (i dont claim they had any JKD or WC influences only similar concepts). I could go on with those examples. Finally as Wing Chun is a southern kung fu boxing style, it is dumm to say, that it looks like boxing: Because its a short range, infight kung fu boxing style! And yes i train a lot of styles, but people need to pay the heritage of traditional styles some respect! You could say that JKD was the first MMA approach, but still respected its origin...
thanks for your analysis and knowledge!
@@MMAShredded Thank you Jeff for every technique video that you did over the years! I bought your head movement course today and the quality is again really impressive. If you could do a trapping video with small mma gloves, that would be really fascinating to see! Thanks again!
Good exchange by both of you.
Very good channel. Nice to see martial artist stay open minded & show respect to one another.
thanks for watching!
YOOOO😮😮😮 Two of my favorite RUclipsrs. Early Christmas
:))
I think we get to see more wing chin techniques, if you guys sparred with mma gloves since it’s more open handed. A lot of the techniques involves palm and grabbing, which is hard to utilize w/ big Thai gloves. But overall it was pretty dope
cheers!
No one spars with 4 oz MMA gloves. And as an MMA fighter Jeff was at the same disadvantage in boxing gloves.
@@alexhoward1884 well yeah, they’re not gonna spar 100% pwr w/ smaller gloves, a light and controlled spar. In jeet kune do & wing chun classes we do spar lightly with mma gloves, obs wearing more protective gear. Similar to Kyokushin.
@@alvinli5587 dude light sparring is why people suck.. making it harder on yourself eventually makes it easier
@@mato2677 tell that to the Thai's. Light sparring with control and backforth play is a staple of good muay thai training.
That is great to see a guy who stress tests his wing chun. Good stuff.
Osss
really enjoyed watching this... thank you !
thanks!!
great video 👏, jeff's experience in sparring is visible, that's why even though I am a wing chun teacher, I study SANDA and jiu jitsu and stay active in combats and sparring.. jeff chan is excellent, respect!
thanks for watching!
Respeito e treino wing chun. Fui faixa preta Taekwondo, marrom de karatê e grau vermelho de Muay Thai, mas o wing chun não sai bem contra a mão do boxe. No treino é uma coisa, na tática. Mas na luta.... dá não
Jeff is such an amazing guy, he went super hyper gentle...if he'd push a little bit more, oh boy...
Thanks for watching !
Great vid. I started in JKD school which taught Jun Fan and Muay Thai. I learned things there that didn't get taught in other places and they are little sneaky deviations that I've been able to add into my game.
thanks for watching!
Such a great vid! Would have been great if you could have explained some more of Nates successful strikes, thanks!
I did wing chun and im sorry but in real life wing chun practionner would get ko in a sec
I know it's a small thing but I would kind of like to see this if they were wearing MMA gloves, I find when I'm sparring and trying to practise Wing Chun the chunky boxing gloves make it such a pain in the ass it's like wearing over mits while trying to work on something. xD Loved it all the same tho, thanks Jeff.
Next time !
Excellent control Jeff 🔥
thanks man!
Love this content!!
thank you!!
As a Brazilian jiujitsu blackbelt who spent way too many years in traditional wing Chung… (before I was ever a JJ black belt), No disrespect to the WC practitioner, but this is a perfect example of what, putting so many years and time into Wing Chun will get you. Sad but true. It’s nearly as bad as aikido in terms of real applicable combat. It’s not as bad but it’s a close second. Maybe it worked 500 years ago? Who knows…
Give the guy a break man. Your comparing an active practitioner of the wing chun and jkd style and comparing him to a man who has learned multiple martial arts and has fought inside the cage. This is what wing chun is supposed to be. Not a bunch of slapping bs that u see all over the internet.
Awesome to see guys. Having practiced mma and wing chun, it’s great to see true martial artists showcasing a purist sparring bout. Great offensive and countering techniques from you guys!
I personally feel Nate would have a better edge without having to use gloves since wing chun is mainly practiced without the gloves and he’ll have better feel and power deflection usage of his hands. The gloves prob feel to bulky for him to flow with. But again it’s sparring you don’t want to get real fists landing in your face. 😂🤜 like Bruce Lee’s says, adapt, absorb what is useful and discard what isn’t applies to martial arts fighting 👊
Yes exactly but definitely been adapting to the gloves for safety of sparring partners. It’s possible but definitely not as efficient since you have to make slightly wider movements.
@@SifuNate Insetad of boxing style sparring gloves I would suggest MMA sparring gloves which can be worn without wraps if you like (so they don't restrict hand movement).
These are open handed like MMA competition gloves but they have thicker padding on the hand/knuckle area.
I think these would be superior to boxing style gloves for a style like wing chun.
yes he def had a disadvantage due to the gloves! we can try mma gloves next time!
@@MMAShredded yeah would love to see that guys! Mma grapper style gloves like enter the dragon hahah True martial arts spirit! Keep at it 👊love yout content and channel Jeff!
I have so much respect for Sifu Nate, but I feel like I rarely see clips of him sparring. It's so awesome to see him on the channel!
cheers!
Fantastic. Much respect and you both want to improve. No egos.
thanks for watching!
I’m curious to see how the trapping during sparring would look if you both wore MMA gloves? I think believe that Wing Chun / JKD trapping is more effective in MMA gloves. Thoughts?
Well, one would better hand dexterity in MMA gloves, but boxing/Thai gloves are bigger, so there is more to "catch/latch on" to. It might depend on the individual, or maybe there's enough of a difference.
If you fought amateur 😂
I'm also curious to see how this would look if this weren't on a hard wooden floor and Jeff was allowed to sweep and use takedowns.
True we gotta try with mma gloves next time !
MMA gloves aren’t made for sparring though.
It was cool to see wing chun get battle tested like this.
I think that wing chun can work on normal soft humans that never train in any way.
However,
I wouldn’t rely on it verse anyone better. Just a strong athletic person can muscle thru the hand traps, pick you up and slam you. Or just slug you.
I do think that practicing it, while honing your other skills, it can become a very useful tool in your bag of tricks. I hand trap jabs sometimes myself, and I can see how it can be effective. Just not gonna work if you only use wing chun. It’ll be good for parry’s and counters, and maybe even to redirect an opponent’s attack, but, I don’t believe only wing chun will be the most effective. There’s also other martial arts and techniques that can be used the same way as wing chun.
Cheers!
I think Wing Chun system from Sifu Martin Dragos has improved the usability of Wing Chun big time I have been practicing it for a while and it had big impact on my sparring and overall ability because it covers many weaknesses in the traditional Wing Chun
Thanks for the video!! Keep it up 💪💪 I have been watching and learning from you for a while as well, appereciate your work!!
Love the respect, best part of the video.
thanks!
Great video! I see why Bruce lee had to modify his wing chun style, You dominated the whole fight! Donnie Yen makes it look so easy on film, lol.
wing is bets used without big puffy gloves also. Plus the wing chun guy didnt have good footwork
Best break down iv ever seen
thanks!!
This was a really cool video. Liked the mix of techniques
thanks for watching!!
The hand trapping is absolute porn! Love it! Going to bring that into sparring on Monday
Osssss
Jeff’s wing chun are better 😂😂
jeffs a professional fighter
Very nice sparring, there's a lot to learn from it!
thx!!
This is the one thing I never knew I needed but like BRO OH MY GOD
haha :)
Wing chun would never work in ufc. The same moves that do work are found in Muay Thai.
Exactly, ossu!
For all those who say "wing chung doesn't work"..
Man come on Jeff is a professional fighter, who has practiced several styles and has perfected his technique by sparring with other fighters.. it is obvious that Jeff is going to look better, no matter what practice martial art that if someone with more experience and more techniques comes, they will always take the lead 🤣🤣.
I mean, he also used wing chung principles in sparring, so wing chung works if you combine it with other styles, it gives you more tools to complement your arsenal so...
IT'S NOT THE MARTIAL ART, IT'S THE FIGHTER... REMEMBER IT 👊🏿
Bullshit. It is the martial art and it is the fighter. For example you can't put a boxer to fight in muy thai the boxer has no training in leg kicks and his shin would not be conditioned for that. One kick to his face and he's out because he has no experience defending it. You put a bullshit unrealistic martial art like aikido or wing chun against mma obviously the mma fighter would win. To an extent it is the fighter but it is also the martial art. You can't cpmpare a completely useless martial art to something that is effective. Jeff was going super easy here and making this guy look like an amateur. Do you know how bad you have to be for someone to play around with you and make your style look that ineffective
Yes always depending on the specific individual!
@@MMAShredded So why don't you make more videos practicing more aikido or wing chun or tai chi since its the person not the style?
I enjoyed this pace of sparring too. polite and respectful sparring.
cheers!!
honestly this will benefit Sifu Nate so much in terms of sparring without getting hurt while at the same time it was awesome to see that you adopted a few of his trapping techniques
Y'all are being way too nice 😅. Exaggerated head movement, pawing instead of properly parrying, lazy arm punches, leaning back in fear while throwing, plodding footwork.
Worst of all, low fight IQ. "Hand trap, jab cross, slip in" over and over. Falling for all of Jeff's feints and traps. Not that there's shame in Jeff getting the better of you..
But he obviously has done little real sparring, or wing Chung is really that bad. If we didn't know he was a Wing Chung superstar we might think he has half a year of training. Don't know
Wing chun is just bad. Jeff just trying to lend a hand to a dying dance/aerobics discipline like tai chi, wing chun isn’t a combat art at least not in its current form today. Maybe it never was because even Bruce Lee said a “person who trains boxing or wrestling for one year will defeat any martial artist” by martial artist he was referring to stuff like wing chun…
Wing Chun is really good at blocking punches with your face. This superstar really shows us how to use minimal effort to allow your opponent get the most hits on your face as possible
Terima kasih idolaku menghadirkan video ini.salam dari Indonesia

Lets be honest, he looks like an absolut beginner.. he gets tagged the most of all of your sparringspartners, by far
