        The fighting style that is easiest to learn and master is probably best.

        Wing chun doesn't look easy, and is definitely not for everyone.

          There are no styles in a real fight.

          Bruce knew this. In a real fight there are only concepts and principles.

              Fighting takes different forms and different people learn different styles....so you can take 2 masters of 2 different aspects of fighting and the winner will be determined by whom ever establishes his mastery first..meaning he makes his craft the theme of the fight

                  They simply master a certain set of principles, but when you define yourself with a specific style you are also confined by it.

                  Real fighting is too erratic. Mastering a style doesn't mean **** in a real fight if the concepts and principles associated with that style don't apply to real combat situations.

                  I practice wing chun, muay thai, boxing, jiu jitsu. I use whatever works and discard what is inefficient. Being a strict "boxer" in a real fight makes you predictable and therefore vulnerable. I use boxing principles when I throw punches, Muay Thai concepts when I kick, Jiu Jitsu principles when I grapple.

                    boxing vs wrestling vs bjj is kind of a fun debate

                    boxing vs wing chun isn't very interesting because wing chun isn't real

                    but I've noticed some people on this website are years behind the curve when it comes to "that **** isn't real"

                      Do you use Wing Chun principles when you do hilarious poses and make silly noises before the fight?
