There are plenty of elbows in the Biu Jee form.

You do know some WC lineages has an elbow form right?
Ne way...even in small space you may not be in elbow range. If try to launch an elbow from the outside your going to get trapped or controlled. The best time to throw an elbow is when you are too close for your opponent to stop you from making contact.
Elbows should be thrown when your in the lions mouth!
haha, I was joking/messing with you. From everything I've seen, nothing stan does is even remotely close to realistic anythying. That's why I asked you to describe what you think is 'training realistically', so people can get a baseline of your understanding of the term :)
I love Wing Chun. It's what I like to do in my free time.
...but boxing, MT, etc have 'pockets of power' as well. While large looping punches are often seen in boxing - hooks, uppercuts, body shots, etc were developed when the range got closer and straight lines didn't work (opponent covers up, gloves are in the way of their face, etc).
So, yes: Wing Chun would excel in a phone booth, but if you're in there with a boxer, watch your ribcage.

Oh yeah? How often do you train in phone booths and porta-loos?Quote:
Your argument is pretty invalid because most WC schools STILL don't train realistically.
Alan ORR. Yes, but he's not the only one. He is the only one with a good video series.Quote:
Unless it's an Alan OR student of course.
Can't I just give the guy 50 cents and save my floating ribs? Sheesh!
In all seriousness I agree with you. I can't stand WC people who insist that the only effective and real power generation can come out of a Wing Chun structure, especially since there is a very easy way to prove that is not the case.
