{"product_id":"2940156796090","title":"Wing Chun for MMA: How to use Wing Chun for modern fighting, self-defense, and sport","description":"Does Wing Chun Suck?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the 80s we had The Karate Kid. In the 2000s we have MMA. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAmong MMA fighters, Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiujitsu are among the most popular art forms. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSomehow, Wing Chun, also known as Wing Tsun or Ving Tsun depending on your lineage, has managed to stay afloat and remain quite popular. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRecently, this popularity can be attributed to the new Ip Man movies starring Donnie Yen. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYet at the same time, it is well known that most people involved with the MMA community think Wing Chun is complete nonsense! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJoe Rogan famously called out Wing Chun for being ineffective. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEven Bruce Lee, considered to be the grandfather of MMA, said traditional styles and kata were ineffective - and he spent years learning Wing Chun from Ip Man himself! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo what's the deal? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIs Wing Chun really as bad as people say it is? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this book you will find out. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this book we will expose outright lies people have been telling about Wing Chun - for example - did Bruce Lee really \"throw away\" his Wing Chun because he thought boxing and fencing would be more effective? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe will dispel these Bruce Lee myths. Not myths told by Bruce Lee himself, but myths propagated by those practicing his style in the MMA era. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe will also discuss in this book what Wing Chun REALLY is and HOW it can be applied in modern-day fighting - both in the street and in sport. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHint: It does NOT involve chain-punching the air wildly. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Gracies have famously showed the superiority of Brazilian Jiujitsu (BJJ), and this book will discuss how and why this is important for Wing Chun. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFinally, at the end of this book we will show you how to REALLY train. Contrary to the movies, you will not be practicing wooden dummy forms all day. Instead, our training regimen is inspired by the spirit of MMA and Jeet Kune Do. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo get an idea of what we're really trying to say, think of a boxing workout. If you've never done it, take a free trial class in your area. You arms and your core will be very sore after the workout. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you don't train as hard as a boxer, you will not beat a boxer. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you don't kick as hard as a Muay Thai fighter and train to take kicks of the same hardness, you will not beat a Muay Thai fighter. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is our philosophy. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStop the nonsense about putting your foot at an exact 45 degree angle to generate the maximum force, and just FIGHT. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFight and train as hard as the people you are fighting. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA simple and direct rule, for a martial art whose roots are simplicity and directness. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is about taking Wing Chun back to its roots, and not getting lost in the details.","brand":"Master Tang","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47083607392496,"sku":"2940156796090","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940156796090_p0.jpg?v=1764087729","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940156796090","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
