Well you should just do both as there's very usefull techniques in each.

It was a style originally developed by a female for females.

The idea is; you can do your thing on someone who's bigger and stronger with force.

Ok so I'm not exactly sure where to post this but here we go.

I've been thinking for a while now that it would be a good idea to introduce several elements of Wing Chun Gung Fu into Boxing. It occured to me after reading a book on Bruce Lee, apparently Bruce was in a Boxing fight when he was around 14 and was loosing. Only after he began to use some of the Wing Chun techniques he was learning did he win the fight. So I was just wondering whether people think it would be a good idea to incorporate Wing Chun into Boxing training? The I think it could benefit people a great deal because most of the blocks and parrys in Wing Chun are much less damaging than the cover up method largely used in Boxing, and things like a parry and strike delivered at the same time could be very effective in boxing.

Please note that I am not in any way in favor of Wing Chun over Boxing or vice versa because I don't believe in styles, it's just something i've been thinking about.

Yeah, sounds like you read a bruce lee book.

What in Wing Chun do you think could be added to boxing?

To be honest if your only wanting to learn so you can have a ruck on the
street then learning an art like Wing Chun would be a waste of time..
Im not saying the art isnt effective what im sayin is it would take
years to learn and you would have to be 100% percent fully tuned into
wanting to learn it....
Forms of grappling judo etc are the best to learn for that cuz its like a real
fight.Rarely does a real fight last for more then a 2 minutes maybe even 1
and rarely do you stand and exchange..Most times the geezer is gonna grab
you and your gonna go over rolling about on the fall..
Thats where grappling comes into play cuz they train you for these
situations like real fight situations...
