Wing Chun’s Center Line Theory vs MMA Mindset

June 14, 2010 By admin 5 Comments

The big question is who’s center line are you fighting in yours or your opponents.  Some would say that you should always fight within your own center regardless of the situation. The problem is sometimes the fight is not in your center , in a fight an attack can come from any angle at anytime.

Today we know that MMA is the big sport. Many will tell you that MMA is the way to understand real fighting. Nothing could be further from the truth. Just like traditional martial artist will tell you that you have to do things this way or that way. Today’s mixed martial artist athlete will tell you that their way is the only “proven” way to fight.

They even have shows on t.v that talk about fighting science. What nobody mentions is the fact that the martial arts have been here for centuries. It is pretty  self centered to believe that  MMA is brand new. People have been using what works for centuries. It is only recently with the advent of media that people even know about martial arts in the mainstream.

The reality is this, there really is only one way of fighting, that is with our hands and feet.. Okay you can add elbows,biting and kneeing into the mix. But the truth is there really aren’t styles per say. There is just interpretations of how someone should handle themselves.

What does this have to do with Wing Chun’s Center Line theory? Just this, it doesn’t really matter because every single situation is different. Just like no 2 finger prints are the same, neither are 2 fights. If there is one thing I have learned from Wing Chun it is that we must flow with the energy given, this means sometimes abandoning the center line in favor of dealing with the energy where it is at.

Wing chun and MMA share one thing in common.  They both where created to hurt another human being. In the end its not the style that tells the story, it is the heart of the person that does.
