It's a very good martial art- Dont limit yourself though
Make sure you practice the blocks and saus against boxing punches
it will develop your reaction times and sensitivity to your opponents moves like no other art
Originally developed by a woman -- and think about it; who would be more likely to face an attacker with superior upper-body strength?
It's a beautiful style. Y'know, if your purpose is to go out every night and kick butt like Batman, then you won't have any problem keeping up your MT training; but if you're the kind of person who's motivated by finding something graceful in yourself, you're more likely to keep up a style like this one.

Bruce Lee originally started with this style. He found some flaws in it and felt that a lot of the movements where wasted. He streamed lined the Katas for efficiency and took out a lot of the wasted movements that just weren't practical for a real confrontation. He also added live sparing... Jeet Kun Do was born.
Looking at Lee's notebooks, it's interesting to see how much of JKD originated with boxing. Definitely a man who looked for ideas wherever he could find them.
The "reverse T" stance seems to be pure Bruce Lee; the sticky-hands practice technique is Wing Chun.
I recall how when he was doing The Green Hornet, it was reported that he had to slow down his moves for the camera... because at full speed, it simply didn't register. They also called it "gung fu" back then.

Some still do call it gung fu.
Two branches of Wing chun emerged after yip mans death.
William cheung continued with origional " WIng Chun Gung fu" while
Leung ting started teaching" Ving tsun".
Both claimed to be the heir to the system and have had heated and I believe at one point violent debates regarding this.
I am not really positive as I am not certified in WIng Chun, although it is a baissi for my training.
As Dbolic said it flow beautifully with thai and with Kali as well.
Kali has "Higot, hubud lubud " drills that are much like chi sao drills from WC. they fit perfectly.

Yes...it took me like a month to realize that Hubud into Bong Sau drill was a mix between filipino and Wing Chun. Even though I did them in singular for a long time. They flow too well. I don't teach it so stagnant and choppy though. We do more boxing punches and haymakers like what you would see from a brawler. We move around too - don't stand in one spot. You can also shoot the legs out of hubud -so the other guy can sprawl out and throw the knees. Then backout and start punching again.

Yup, me too.
We go from Largo stick work with kicks to stripping the weapon to trapping both hands and feet and then finally to ground.
Then we get up, dust off and do it again.
The only thing we do is throw guntas with two fingers( a mini-slap) as opposed to actually trashing your buddys bi with a full blown shot.
