Is Wing Chun and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu a good combination for self defence?

Question

Striking- Wing Chun
Clinch- Wing Chun and BJJ
Ground- BJJ

or would Wing Chun and Judo be better?

Answer 1

For self defense, from Judo, BJJ and Wing Chun all 3 are standalsone, andwhy do you need other arts for it. But as if you want for Striking, Clinch, Ground so. I would say you to do it like this.



BJJ Don't have stand up so much, neither too much grappling. It have superior ground fighting. And Wing Chun is not for that stand up of too much striking it's more trapping.



So, I would recommend you to take up Karate and BJJ or Judo. It would be a great combo for self defense. And believe me you would never need any Martial Art as an mixture if you have learned Karate and BJJ / Judo. Or Karate alone can do your job well, as it has Superior striking (Punching, kicking, Kneeing, Elbowing), fair clinching, grappling, ground work. And submission and grappling very well too.

Answer 2

MMA class are sports. Sports are taught to a set of rules that govern the sport. All the best self defense techniques are removed from all sports for the safety of the competitors. There are no rules in self defense, there are consequences but no rules. Wing Chun if it is taught as it was meant to be by a qualified instructor, is pure self defense. Now that is not to say that a sport cannot be used for self defense and work any more than just because you study a self defense art means it will work every time. It would be like using a butter knife for a screwdriver, in certain circumstances it will work, it just isn't the best choice. All martial arts / martial sports take time to be proficient with. You are training reflexes, that takes time and repetition. As Kelly said, any technique grappling or otherwise that can be applied standing can be applied while you are on the ground. The idea that there are "stand up" and "Ground" arts is a new theory put forth by the Gracies as a way to promote their art. You do need to practice all aspects of your art to be proficient and not all classes cover that. That doesn't mean the techniques aren't there, just that the instructor is not teaching all of the art. The trick is finding a good instructor that focuses on self defense and not as a dance or sport. In the end all martial arts are a buyer beware market, you should choose between instructors / schools not styles. It might be that another class is the best option in your area. Find out what is offered near you and visit all of them, if the offer a free class try it. Remember quality instruction in a realistic manner and your dedication to practice are more important than style.

Answer 3

If you're talking real self defense, and not sport applications then yes. I have found in my own experiences that Wing Chun, and Ju Jutsu are a good complement for each other. The hand trapping of Wing Chun makes "bridging the gap" easier, and somewhat less dangerous. This is of course only my opinion, but to paraphrase Bruce Lee whatever helps you defend yourself is time well spent learning.

Answer 4

lfmao everyone who says there is no ground fighting in wing chun is ignorant.



that is like saying there is no ground fighting in karate or there are no strikes in judo lmfao.



wing chun ground fighting is pretty good but chances are you won't be able to find a chunner who can grapple because 99% of them neglect it much like %99 percent of karateka do to and how judoka neglect striking even though it is part of their style.



Pay attention to your Taolu!!!!!!!!



On the ground you do what you do standing up just slightly different.



Now your centre line runs vertically from the ground up still which can be confusing lol but your chin na basically remains the same but your fajing is limited and you will have to rely more on your movements from chum kiu & biu jee.



I wrestled for 10 years, had a jr blue belt 2nd kyu in judo when I graduated high school and decided to take up wing chun and got a serious lesson in grappling from a kung fu man who only ever trained wing chun.



You will learn a lot about wing chun however by practicing with judoka, jujutsuka, bjjers & wrestlers as they will tend to have you on the ground a lot.



Also you should ask your sifu about wing chun ground fighting as he might have some info for you.



here is a book called bunkai jutsu and it is all about hidden applications in forms you should give it a check if you are already in wing chun.

Answer 5

Lose the wing chun, Take up Muay Thai or maybe Kyukushin. With that and BJJ and you got a good match.

Answer 6

Wing Chun And Bjj

Answer 7

To be honest attitude and determination are the biggest factors,learn to hit hard,drop the wing chin,keep the grappling but don't neglect hitting a heavy bag.

Answer 8
