What Wing Chun Moves are Illegal in MMA?

Eye gouging of any kind.
Groin attacks of any kind.
Small joint manipulation.
.. ... Striking to the spine or the back of the head.
Striking downward using the point of the elbow.

Throat strikes of any kind, including, without limitation, grabbing the trachea.

Kicking the head of a grounded opponent.

Kneeing the head of a grounded opponent.

Stomping a grounded opponent.

There are tons of throat strikes in partner drills/demonstration, as well as groin strikes.
There also seems to be this repetition of the moment an enemy falters, you seize the opportunity to go for their most vulnerable, weakest points. In this way, the back of the head or neck or spine become big targets, especially with downward elbows.

Wing Chun has no ground fighting. If you put someone down, you don't take the fight there. You stay up, and you use some of the arguably most powerful strikes in a striker's arsenal, to points that would do the most damage. You use kicks that drive with the heel (classified as stomps), to their head.

Finally, Chinese martial arts, including Wing Chun, have a larger focus on the weaker small joints, when it comes to joint locking. Small joint manipulation being disallowed means that any use of Chin Na is going to have to be improvised.

The advanced moves include Biu Jee strikes that are basically knife hand strikes to the eyes or throat. The low kicks of Wing Chun are designed to blow knees out, groin shots, etc.

Wing Chun is not for the ring, it was developed for the streets.

“Wing Chun" is designed for just one thing, and one thing ONLY: to severely injure and incapacitate an aggressive opponent. It is NOT a form of exercise, NOT a form of meditation, NOT a sport and NOT for demonstration – its sole purpose is to attack an attacker with more skill and more science than what the attacker can muster.
