Wing chun is well known for its popularity because of ip man and bruce lee, wing chun is a very powerful style of kung fu, Wing chun is really good for striking and grappling at a close range, Jujitsu focuses on throwing, joint lock, choking and strangling, wing chun also can do this, so really both are well known martial arts, so my main question is which is best to learn?

as always, there is no right or wrong answer. each person has their own set of skills and advantages that they themselves can make work for them. Its not even what style you can learn as an archetype, its what can YOU yourself make work when you need it to.
as a comparison both styles are associated as more yin, or softer arts vrs the yang harder arts. as an essence, it is more about going with the flow then it ever was about technqiue, principles rather then set movements. the principles of wing chun and jujitsu are almost identical

That's is true, I just see it as more of a opinion really because, Chinese martial arts have been very powerful over centuries and so has Brazilian martial arts, but Chinese are older if im not mistaken, wing chun has been since china was made into 7 parts so its really an opinion

Wushumonk15 That's is true, I just see it as more of a opinion really because, Chinese martial arts have been very powerful over centuries and so has Brazilian martial arts, but Chinese are older if im not mistaken, wing chun has been since china was made into 7 parts so its really an opinion well i mean even then, martial arts is based around adaptation. just because something is old doesnt always mean that it is the most effective or most dominant art. Modern military tactics and technology is the martial art of our era. pitting a samurai against one these days is a one sided fight, even if the samurai has been considered the most disciplined warrior to have existed. i dont think BMA has been around for centuries actually. i dont think capoeira nor BJJ are even over 80 years old much less centuries

That's true, both are very well skilled and based on the person and the persons likings, I just practice wing chun and I have been for the past 2 or 3 years, and I have a jujitsu class in town so I was wondering if I should take it

Wushumonk15 what do you mean by that? if you have the chance to go learn and experience something new, particularly in the martial arts, then go do it. the path itself creates the warrior, and the warrior itself is forged by experience
