the truth about wing chun

i have practiced wing chun for several years, so i feel i have a good enough background to say this: it is not, for the most part, going to work against a skilled boxer or wrestler. i say "for the most part",because i have found a way to make it work, but not exactly like wing chunners expect. i have found that wing chun contains some core principles and moves that can be used against a boxer or wrestler. unfortunately, most WCers don't want to let go of the framework in which they have been given in order to explore the ways to make it work. the following is a list of the concepts/moves that can be worked out practically: 1. tan sao against jab (if he's orthodox and you're in southpaw). 2. L bui sao against R jab (if you're in matched southpaws) or against his cross. 3. sui sao jik chong - a concept that works pretty well 4. double pak da 5. pak lop da to his spleen side 6. cross kick foot block 7.chong kuen (if you have a clear path) 8. huen sao- if you use it like boxers do against body shots 9. bong sao- against sucker punches 10. pak da (inside or outside) or lop da. sticky hands? not really. one thing i emphasize is " dont' watch how wing chun practices, watch how they spar!". they never use their sticky hands because it's impossible to do so. adding some basic wing chun to your PKA fighting will enhance it. but don't spend too much time in it. the core skills are still jab, cross, hook, uppercut, the basic kicks,and the few throws.
