Fighting fair will get you killed!
Do predators and home invaders fight fair? How about muggers . . . will they fight fair?
If the criminals won’t fight fair, why should you?
Do you think you could survive an attack by a larger, faster, and more powerful person than you?
Could you save your family from several attackers at once?
Wing Chun is a Chinese fighting art that was created from all the dirty tricks and most efficient techniques of Kung Fu. These techniques and tricks do not require great strength or speed because they use your opponents’ power against them.
Learn to Fight Dirty, and Survive!
Training matters. The type of training matters even more. You will not rise to the occasion. You will fall to the level of your preparation.
Recent events have shown that a 120 pound woman could not grapple or box a 200 pound man without major physical harm, but she could disable, cripple or even kill if the need arose, using the methods of Wing Chun. Wing Chun will teach you all of the dirty tricks needed to end a fight quickly, so that you can go home safely to your family.
Wing Chun will teach you to literally break down your assailant by attacking the weak points of his body that cannot be built up with weights or other physical training.
“The art of Wing Chun was developed by a woman, no doubt smaller and not as strong as her male counterparts. The underlying premise of using Wing Chun is that you are fighting a bigger, stronger opponent. Trading kicks and punches is clearly not the ideal strategy.” Paul Vunak, R.A.T. FIGHT, Combat Secrets of the World’s Deadliest Fighters, (pg. 26)
UFC, Mixed Martial Arts (MMA), Brazilian Jujitsu (BJJ), Muay Thai, Tae Kwon Do, American boxing, etc., are all fought in a ring, against a single opponent, with rules and a referee and medical personnel standing by that is why these contests are deemed Fair Fights. The Wing Chun Boxing Academy does not participate in tournaments or other events that have rules. Rules make “fighting” a sport and sport is not based on reality. Wing Chun is a martial–or military–art. In a fight for your life, you can’t afford rules; there are no referees, and the only medical personnel you will find are those who come after the altercation is over… You must be ready and able to do whatever you have to do to go home safe.
We have all seen that we are living in increasingly more dangerous times. Politics and personal disputes are increasing and often leading to violent encounters and tragic ends. The Wing Chun Boxing Academy will teach YOU to DEFEND yourself and your loved ones from these and other threats.
Learn Wing Chun. Learn to fight dirty.
Brilliantly designed by a woman…
(Around 300 years ago) Yim Wing Chun was a beautiful Chinese girl who lived happily until her beauty attracted the attention of a local bully. The bully boasted publicly he would have Wing Chun for his wife, and began to pester, intimidate, and even threaten the girl until she no longer had any peace. So she fled to a nearby mountain for refuge.
There a Shaolin nun named Ng Mui decided to help her. She proposed to teach Wing Chun to defend herself, so that she would be free to choose whom she would marry. The nun went to the bully and offered a challenge. Wing Chun would train with her for a year. At the end of the year, she would meet the bully for a fight. If the bully won, Wing Chun would marry him. If she won, however, the bully must agree to leave her alone forever.
In the following year, Ng Mui taught Wing Chun the secret fighting techniques of Kung Fu. She chose and taught the young girl only the most simple, direct, and destructive techniques devised in the Kung Fu curriculum. Ng Mui taught her how to fight dirty. The methods she taught to Wing Chun did not rely on strength or speed because she had so little time to prepare for the fight. Wing Chun needed and got the information necessary for her to have the upper hand in the fight that determined her life.
The year passed and Wing Chun met the bully at the agreed place. The thug and his lackeys felt certain that it was Wing Chun’s wedding day. The little, delicate woman half his size approached set herself for battle. All of the men laughed at her unorthodox stance. Wing Chun motioned for the fight to begin. He stepped toward her and raised his hand to hit her in a typical manner. Wing Chun shifted slightly and raised her hands and Smash! He reeled back, clutching his broken nose as blood ran down the front of his robe.
The bully shook his head and roared in rage. He no longer intended to just dominate and then own the girl. Now he wanted to punish her. He bared his teeth, drew back his fist and prepared to knock her unconscious. He stepped in with his attack, and that was all. As he stepped forward, before his body ever followed, she twisted, lifted her knee and stomped. The bully screamed out in pain as his knee shattered, and his leg folded side ways.
Wing Chun looked at the broken, moaning thug and said: “Remember our agreement” And the bully was never seen again. Ng Mui named the new system of Chinese boxing Wing Chun after her first student which when translated encapsulates the true spirit of the art and demeanor of a practitioner of it. Translated Wing Chun means “Humming a tune in Spring.”
BRUCE LEE CONNECTION
Wing Chun is the only fighting art that Bruce Lee ever formally studied. It is the skills that he learned in Wing Chun that catapulted him to stardom in the martial arts world. Wing Chun formed the core of his Jun Fan/Jeet Kune Do. He stated on several occasions after creating JKD that he would use Wing Chun (NOT Jeet Kune Do) if he were in a fight for his life.
His teacher was Master Yip Man. He introduced Duncan S.H. Leung to Yip Man and Wing Chun as a fighting art because they were childhood friends. Master Yip Man taught Duncan S.H. Leung as a closed-door student and formal disciple. Master Leung’s line is continued by SiFu Dustan Carroll, who was trained as a formal disciple and closed-door student by a disciple of SiFu Dave Meadows who was a disciple and closed door student of Master Duncan Leung.

Robbie Lawler’s Ruthless Wing Chun
Tags: EliteXC, MMA (Mixed Martial Arts), rules, self-defense, Wing Chun
I’ve always known that, sooner or later, the Chinese art of Wing Chun Kuen would be represented in a professional mixed martial arts bout. I just didn’t expect to see it in MMA’s historic prime-time debut.
Robbie Lawler
On May 31, 2008, “Ruthless” Robbie Lawler forever settled any reasonable doubts about Wing Chun’s viability in real combat. And he did it by accident.
Robbie Lawler faced Scott “Hands of Steel” Smith in the inaugural broadcast of CBS’ Saturday Night Fights. During the first two rounds of this title bout, both men fought according to New Jersey’s Unified Rules of Mixed Martial Arts: no headbutts, biting, groin attacks, or rabbit punches; no hair-pulling or small joint manipulation; no fish-hooking or strikes to the trachea.
For more than ten minutes, Lawler and Smith used their training in boxing, Muay Thai, wrestling and BJJ to soften each other up. Neither fighter held a clear advantage, and so the exchange continued. Then “Ruthless” Lawler stuck his fingers in Smith’s eye.
Referee Dan Miragliotta halted the fight immediately. Scott “Hands of Steel” Smith hoped to continue after a five-minute rest to regain his vision, but the doctor forbid it. The match was called: no contest.
Lawler’s eye poke, unintentional though it was, ended the bout in seconds. There is little doubt in my mind that, if the referee had allowed it, Lawler could have followed up with an uncontested knockout.

Ring Fighting vs. Real-World Self-Defense
As a professional fighter, Scott Smith followed the match rules, and he was reasonable to assume that Robbie Lawler would do the same. However, it would also be reasonable to assume that, in a five-round fight with fingerless gloves, a stray finger could land in your eye, and to defend against such an accident.
If only such a thing were possible. The eyes are the most sensitive area on the body, and especially difficult to protect. If the opponent can so much as touch your eyes, they can damage them permanently, so the threat demands a conservative game. (The same principle applies, to a lesser degree, to defending the throat and genitals.)
Effective defense of vital areas cannot be an afterthought; it must be integrated into a fighting strategy from the outset, and supported by coherent tactics. The approach must be conservative, but also vicious, in order to eliminate the threat as rapidly as possible.
Does any of this sound familiar? These are the precepts of Wing Chun Kuen, Bruce Lee’s original martial art. Wing Chun starts where MMA ends; it is brutal and direct. Rules, community standards, and basic human decency prevent it from being fully applied in the competitive arena, but as Robbie Lawler reminded us yesterday, the ruthless hands of Wing Chun should not be discounted.
