Traditional shooting approaches required a complex 9-point body alignment that didn&#8217;t hold up under the stress conditions typically faced in lethal encounters. i.e. trained shooters would miss even at incredibly short range because their arms would shake, adrenalin would dump, and they couldn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

Great question! 
There are four main kinds of &#8220;anti-grappling&#8221; in Wing Chun Kuen.
The first is the basic, core mechanics of almost all Wing Chun, where the paths and positions themselves make it difficult for an opponent to initiate or counter with a joint lock or throw. Keeping the elbow down and in, [...]]]></description>
