Like someone said before. Never Box a Boxer. Try and disrupt the rhythm and kick the hell out of the inside of the legs. Do things in a unorthodox manner to dishevel the opponent. If that doesn't work get the hell out of there quick! Or if your a wrestler, close the gap and try for the takedown. I would love to see a Shuai Jiao guy against a Western Boxer.
Theres nothing wrong with boxing a boxer if your a better boxer. (I'm just stating a fact, not suggesting anything about my personal ability).
It wasn't meant as a threat at all, just that slip knows his stuff. You said that evidence can be argued over and over, but there is no evidence of the wing chun assault working against a trained boxer. So nothing to argue it over with. By saying that evidence can be argued over and over are you saying that it has no use and cannot be used to prove a point? If that were true the entire foundation on which law and science are based would crumble.
Here's a computer simulation of what the OP's fight might actually look like: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ag7wqjZgxgw"]YouTube[/ame]
The one holding the camera - of course! I dunno - it's just the first boxing v wing chun vid that came up on youtube.
There isn't one it doesn't look like. Looks like a wing chun guy and a guy who comes in with his head down, swinging for the fences.
Where's the boxer's footwork? Where's the jab? Why can't he judge distance properly? What sort of boxer covers like that? For the Chunner, where's the ground power? (yes I can tell just by looking) Why is he massaging the top of his scalp when he gets in to hit? He should land a punch, DRIVE IN, stepping forward driving in again and again. This can done light contact with a palm under the chin, hell we do it in gwoh sau. There are also numerous technical mistakes I don't have time to go over. Actually to be honest with you, it looks like two McChunners one playing a boxer.
so we had the sparring session - i'm sure you've all be waiting with baited breath. just to answer a couple of questions that have come up.... it went pretty well, i found that my wing chun chain punches came in handy along with a few biu and bong saus. managed to pull off some basic trapping and kept him at bay with leg kicks etc. it ended up 3 x 3min rounds and i was knackered by the end (due to my own fitness levels!) he's obviously more used to going the distance than i am. we had an impartial mate adjudicate and the concensus was that i won. he landed a few good punches but i messed up his legs with the kicks and his movement and footwork was hindered quite alot so i was able to take advantage working him from the outside etc. we're going to do it again soon and video the results to put on youtube!
Beknar's got it right. The two best reasons for cross-training are 1. to learn something and, 2. to have some fun. If you are just out to prove something you are wasting your time. I'm a WT/WC guy, but my FMA instructor has a solid boxing background. And he knows enough WC that I can't surprise him. When it comes to sparring...er, let me put it this way...I'm really glad he's my friend.
