Since the majority of people practicing martial arts today are combat sports focused, it could be said that Wing Chun is looked down upon by most martial artists today.
Therefore, some Wing Chun people have chosen to participate in competition in order ot "show the world" the validity of Wing Chun. However, I believe this line of thinking is misdirected.
Instead, we must stay true to the reason we train and not allow other's opinions alter the integrity of our training. In other words, we can't let the opinion of others change how we determine the validity of our art or our training methods. We must remember our goal for training and stay focused on that goal.

I enjoy all martial arts. But I teach that Wing Chun is for self-defense, not for sports competition or for participating in street fighting.
