Hello. In response to your Question I think it is important to ask your self what it is your looking for from Bjj. Your wing chun should allow you to flow and put on joint locks. One thing about Bjj is it seems to be for submission. The exact opposite of what we know wing chun to be. I know alot of Bjj guys most of my friends are avid practicioners because it is very popular nowadays. But as for needing ground fighting you should set up your space and time to allow you to not need this situation. Ground fighting is alot of biggest strongest fastest.Im not saying it isn't a good idea to try and expose yourself to Bjj. It is always benificial to have a broad base.At the very least it would help you not be surprised the first time someone took a dive on you but know that truthfully noone should be able to breech your reaction time if you are true to your structures. Elboy on Yin line exct. Get back to me so we can discuss further if you like.
