Will a Wing Chun expert counter all the Ju-Jitsu or Judo techniques?

I heard some saying yes.|||All martial arts have their strengths and weaknesses.





It is possible, but it would depend on the skill of the two fighters, not the style they have mastered.





James|||Similar question -- will a Judo expert counter all the Boxing or Muay Thai techniques? Same answer -- no!





The only way to become competent in something is to practice it, and practice it the right way. The right way is to include non-compliant drilling and high-intensity sparring. Strikers get good at striking (and defending against it) by practicing the techniques on fully resisting opponents and becoming familiar with the ins and outs of the application of their arsenal. The exact same thing is true about grapplers.





However, (pure) strikers dont practice grappling techniques and (pure) grapplers don%26#039;t practice striking techniques. Consequently, strikers tend to suck at defending against grappling techniques and vice-versa. Yes, some strikes work to counter some grappling techniques (knee vs shot). And yes, some grappling techniques counter some strikes (shot vs punches.) However, it%26#039;s far more reliable to counter strikes using defensive techniques specifically designed to deal with them. The same is true about grappling techniques.





Long story short, the boxer is better at repelling punches than the wrestler. The wrestler is better at defending takedowns than the boxer. You can easily replace %26#039;boxer%26#039; with any other type of striker and %26#039;wrestler%26#039; with any other type of grappler.





The WC expert%26#039;s best chance at countering grappling techniques is to just try to hit the grappler in the face as much as possible, and hope the guy breaks down mentally. (Cause, one thing is for sure, WC anti-grappling techniques are pure bullshido.) But, more than likely, the WC guy will get taken down.





I mean, that%26#039;s pretty much how it always goes with striking vs grappling.|||I once knew a Wing Chun expert who was so good at punching, kicking, and trapping that he could stop almost any grappler from taking him to the ground or choking him or performing an armlock on him. Skilled Wing Chun practitioners scare me because they fight so effectively standing up.That being said, if you only know Wing Chun, then you better know how to ground fight (grapple) or you%26#039;ll be in trouble if a grappler (wrestler, judo man or jujutsu man) takes you to the ground. Wing Chun is an awesome practical style that is much better for striking than judo, jujutsu, or wrestling. Get as good as you can at Wing Chun, then incorporate some grappling.|||No, I took lessons in both Wing Chun and Jiu Jitsu and Wing Chun just doesn%26#039;t have all the ground submisions that Jiu Jitsu does.|||in a street fight, a wing chun person who is good, is a formidible fighter..I have learned a lot through wing chun|||while yes, the physical charaterics of the fighters do matter, I think on average the grappler will win.|||No. Judo and ju-jitsu have more ground moves. Wing chun is mostly standup even though some concepts can be applied on the ground. Wing chun has some moves to get you out of a hold but most of the training is how to avoid from getting grappled. Also Wing Chun is from China and the others are Japanese. They were developed at different times in different places.|||no|||Not all of them. It%26#039;s about fighters: Not styles.





Some are good enough, and Wing Chun does have %26quot;Counter-grappling%26quot; techniques. Most schools do not, however, have a setting where those techniques are tested on actual grapplers. Some do, and within that some are successful.|||WIth the right Sifu.Yes.
