I think it will be good to cover HOW to actually USE PWC for combat. The combat stance, footwork, entering..How to defend Jab, cross, Uppercut, kicks, elbows, knees, takedowns...what to use in each range, and how to drill these techniques solo and with partner..In other words, how to hold your ground against other striking Arts.

Why Chain-punches?
Wing Chun uses chain punches because they are a rapid and efficient way to overwhelm an opponent. The primary reasons for using chain punches include: Speed and Efficiency: Chain punches are delivered in quick succession, allowing the practitioner to strike multiple times within a short period. This can overwhelm an opponent and prevent them from effectively defending or counterattacking. Straight Line Principle Wing Chun emphasizes the shortest distance between two points, which is a straight line. Chain punches follow this principle, allowing for direct and fast strikes to the target. Centerline Control By focusing attacks on the opponent’s centerline, a you can disrupt their balance and defense. Chain punches help maintain control over this central axis, keeping the attacker in a dominant position. Simplicity and Economy of Motion The repetitive nature of chain punches allows for minimal movement, conserving energy and reducing the risk of telegraphing attacks. This makes the strikes harder to predict and counter. Continuous Pressure The relentless nature of chain punches can psychologically and physically pressure an opponent, reducing their ability to respond effectively. Other Martial Arts Styles with Similar Techniques ⤵️ Jeet Kune Do (JKD) Bruce Lee, the founder of JKD, integrated chain punches into his system, emphasizing speed, efficiency, and directness. Boxing While traditional boxing doesn’t use chain punches in the same way, combinations of straight punches (jabs and crosses) can serve a similar purpose by rapidly targeting the opponent's head and body to overwhelm and confuse. Krav Maga This self-defense system often employs rapid, successive strikes to incapacitate an attacker quickly. While not identical to Wing Chun's chain punches, the concept of continuous, aggressive striking is similar. Additional Benefits of Chain Punches ⤵️ Cardiovascular Conditioning Practicing chain punches can significantly improve cardiovascular endurance and overall conditioning due to the continuous, repetitive motion.

Wing Chun chain punches are typically shorter than any other punch, or series of punches, so they can only be used in the very close distance (which is almost non existent in sparring or fight). In my experience they work best on the outside, usually as a byproduct of trapping. Paul Vunak concluded that Wing Chun chain punches (aka Straight blast in JKD circles) can only work running (through the opponent:)

Yes, I guess you're right. It seems that there is much bigger difference between the different lineages of Wing Chun than we are aware of, not just between Hong Kong and mainland, but also between GM Yip Man's students too. Take for example Wong Shun Leung, Chu Shong Tin, William Cheung and Duncan Leung styles. They are so different almost like 4 separate Kung fu styles, not a versions of the same style! The last one doesn't even look like Wing Chun, it looks more like Choy Lee Fut or Hop Gar,!
