i asked sifu leung some time back about getting grabbed or shot in on-i am a a wing chun practitioner as well as some boxing experience and some grappling with penjak silat-he answered my question with great detail-now i understand the wing chun point of view as well as being able to do other things-so in my opinion its good to know some grappling-the wing chun has grappling from the chin-na part of the system-i guess it comes down to whos has better conditioning and timing etc-im sure sifu leung would agree that one must know how to take some sort of a blow to survive an encounter-and with his Hong Kong upbringing im sure he has seen many situations-im curious about sifu's answer too -
With WIng Chun in my soul-Conan
