Ok. .From what I know of it(don't bash me guys. But, I just put it in these terms because he has probably seen it.). Think Matrix style fighting without the high kicks and fancy stuff. It uses short circular movements and center line theory. Hope that helped

just to add a tad here, I believe the movements are short 'linear' and not so circular in WC whereas in JJ or Aikido the moves are very much circular

It uses short-linear movements and low kicks. It doesn't rely on raw power alone, but the power lies in its concepts like pulling your opponent into your punch or stomp kicking his knee as he advances forward so you are using momentum in your favor. Its a scientific style, like Western boxing because it emphasizes technique and strategy over power.

What impresses me about wing tsun fighters is their zen like ability to remain relaxed under fight pressure.

i thought it was wing chun, just a different lineage.

I agree, they stand their ground.

From what I've seen of Wing Tsun:
Awesome on paper, not usually as good in application. There are definitely some great WT/VT guys out there, but most of them are not straight Wing Tsun. Think Emin Boztepe.

sercuerdas: wing chun, whing tsun, ving tsun It is basically the same art differnt spellings (like jujitsu and jujutsu). when I think of VingTsun I think of Moy Yat who I think first used that spelling at least in the USA (but I might be wrong).

There is no circular motion but there whipping types of motion which may be confused for circular.
