Working out some combos. Being a short man is hard in a world of tall folks.
We must bring the fight to the tall folks. Close the distance. Get within in-fighting radius. Most people are not taught how to defend against extreme close combat situations, therefore the clinch or shielding up is the most common defence.
Wing Chun is a very very aggressive style. Always forward, no retreat; always flowing, always an angle of attack. Intercepting clinches with elbow combinations and groin grabs/tears (from the Crane/Claw arts - first section of "Siu Lim Tau" within the opening stance); breaking shields with the Lap Sau (Seizing Hand); or Hoon Sau (Circling Hands) to spin our enemy off center (this must be coupled with the "Cham Kiu" shifting footwork; or with "Cham Kiu" uppercuts since when our enemy is shielded from the front, their entire side organs are open for a Chinese Buffet. This is where the boxing comes in very handy.
If they shield the front, we hit the side organs. If they brace and protect the solar plexus, their head is wide open for the Wing Chun centerline punch combos. If you are then using other martial styles, we can Leopard/Panther fist to the throat, either in a straight angle (if they are still upright), or from a uppercut angle (if after hitting their organs/solar plexus, they are bent over from impact) right to the throat.
Wing Chun is to kill, not for combat sport. Practice to kill. Take no chances.
