Hi guys

Has anyone used Wing Chun for self defense? if so how did it go? Has anyone seen Wing Chun used for self defense? How did it go?

No direct experience personally but...
Somone at my class used it to defend himself against someone with a rusty screwdriver by stepping to the side with a pak sau, then kicking his knee. The guy fell down and he ran off.
Another guy at my class got out of a threatening situation where a guy ran some keys down his girlfriends car, so he double palm striked him in the chest using explosive energy, then the guy must have been scared by it and left them alone.
Also there are loads of people who say they used the sensitivity to break up fights by holding to people apart and feeling their body weight shift.
Then one guy said he beat up 3 people with Wing Chun after they tried to steal his phone, but I dunno if he's telling the truth, i mean he seemed trustworthy and all, but 3 guys?

I`ve never fought since I learned wing chun but my sifu told me a few stories about fighting &I believe him he was a crazy mofo.
He was the same age as me and a former gang member who apparently kicked @$$ with his wing chun when he was a gangster but he changed his life and is now becoming a pastor or whatever you call those church people.

I just heard about a church thats dedicated to MMA, and fighting. Like the pastor is their coach, and everyone who attends, fights. Quite interesting.
I'll try and find a link.

Oh yes indeed. I've come across a few surprising individuals myself. It's good that we do, because it keeps us grounded. I'd hate to have developed the kick ass personality, only to have it checked by some unassuming little old man.
