opinion of boxing

[thecrowrains]

Greetings,

First time post here. I joined this forum to get the truth, sotospeak from the horse's mouth, regarding boxing.

I'm not a boxer, but in my studies of another form of fighting, Jeet Kune Do (JKD), I've come to respect boxing's influence on JKD. I realize my question might be like 'preaching to the choir', but there seems to be a disparaging outlook towards boxing in other martial arts groups, particularly the Wing Tsun (WT)group(s).

My training in JKD has obviously included having an understanding of Wing Chun, as JKD's founder started in Wing Chun, and he relied heavily on the principles of Wing Chun as well as boxing.

Of note, the WT groups seem to use boxing as an example of inefficient techniques whenever they teach to their students.

I personally think both are good in their own right, but I thought it would be wise hear from boxers themselves on their view of WT.

Lastly, I tend to think it's the man himself that determines the victor, not the style, art, etc.

regards,
Eric

Well, if what you say is true, the Wu Tang and the Shoalin could be dangerous.

Bruce Lee used to try to imitate Jersey Joe Walcott.

to get back to your post, If I'm understanding it correctly, your saying that teachers of Wing Tsun are using boxing as an example of how NOT to initiate offensively? I'd have to see offensive Wing Tsun to see how more effecient it is.

Thanks for the humor added to your replies,

I hope I'm addressing the right person who asked lastly, quoted loosely, "I'd need to see the offensive tools/skills of the Wing Tsun to comment."

I believe it was '2501' who asked?

Glad to help: YouTube has tons of video clips. Use "Wing Tsun" or "Emin Boztepe" as a keyword search on YouTube. Emin B is an accomplished, vicious fighter who uses boxing as an example all the time to display his Wing Tsun's effectiveness.

I tend to take his displays for a grain of salt.

peace.

All his demonstrations are against guys who seem to anticipate what he's already going to do. From what I can see, this style is dependent on whether the opponent has defense. Alot of these "attackers" just come in with no defense and get easily exposed.

how coindidental, they are exploring the Wing Tsun style on Human Weapon right now.
