It was a bad move to make this thread man... so not worth it.
Wing Chun was designed for brutal self-defense- in Asia. So was Aikido and Ninjutsu... Maybe Amerians just need to quit trying to adapt this stuff? Maybe we're screwing it up. I know we screwed up the two latter mentioned arts.
I don't think we screwed these MAs up. I think aikido has a place, actual fighting isn't it. This isn't the fault of Americans.
