I have noticed that most if not all the police train in some kind of grappling art and learn a few moves that help them capture a criminal or restrain someone. Iv also noticed that grappling is mostly used by strong people who like to face their opponent directly and overpower him or somehow bring him down. Striking arts on the other hand I see as more of a defensive way of fighting on the street. Why would someone need to grapple someone in the street and restrain him, maybe put him in some joint lock or something? Just hit, gouge eyes, bite or try to injure the person who attacked you and then get out. If you grapple someone to the ground and beat them and hold them in a headlock or arm lock people might see that and call police and they will think you were initiating the fight. My point I’m trying to get across is that on the streets a striking art would be more effective, because its 1) faster, 2) safer, because you just bash and get out without having to face any legal problems and 3) more practical on the street. If you thing I'm wrong please correct me and share your thoughts on this.

if i have to grapple ill combine my knowledge of freestile wrestling and some basic principles of TWC, not the made up so called wc anti-grappling.Comment

I think it would be useful for a striking art such as wing chun to have atleast a couple of basic grapling or joint locks teqs that anyone can do. but I suppose some wing chun schools would like to keep it traditional which is cool too but a real wing chun school would teach you how not to end up on to the ground. but I may be wrong but I don't think there are pro fighters on the street because if they were pro fighters they wouldn't use it unless they have to, most attacks on the street are strikes and sometimes they are grabs as well most of them can be easily countered, a wing chunschool that focues on self defense would teach about that as wellComment

WC uses counter grappling, not anti grappling.This type of combat resembles chi sau, they grapple, you counter grapple, then the combat chi sau version begins. WC grapples just drags you back into combat so theres no escape while they continuosly assault you. Very rare to see a WC doing ground fighting as it is hard to get them down in the first place hence why this is a "female kung fu" and why it works well with females.Originally posted by Thai BriRead what Ikken Hisatsu said.

with ever so friendly massively over compliant training partnerswhy do so many guys get this brainwashed stuff going on, think for yourself and step back with open eyes and look, watch, think, then get real and do something real.Originally posted by Oraenor

I choose "A", cause kungfu hand attacks never stop doing combinations until the opponent is sleeping on the ground......Originally posted by Oraenor
but there are plenty of situations that Grappling is recommended......Comment

Because most people who think "Kung Fu sucks" were Bruce Lee fans, enrolled in a Karate school, and were too far along before they realized that Bruce Lee never did anything BUT KUNG FU...Comment
