Flexibility and stamina,, probably higher than most. Although i can see its value. Depending on the kung fu style you learn i agree its all about the practitioner and implementation. Which all comes down to training training and more training From what i understand you need quite an element of fitness for bjj. Flexibility and stamina,, probably higher than most.

I have been practicing wing chun for years and have found it very gratifying. I have also developed alot of respect for other styles as well. It comes down to what suits you. I have written a little about this on my site http://www.wingchuntraining.net and discuss different aspects of wing chun - many of these are universally applied to martial arts. Grappling has always interested me (fan also of bjj) ..you hae given me plenty of food for thought. thanks George I’m a firm believer that it is more the martial artist than the martial art.

Hsing-Yi first comes to mind, but my opinion may change depending on your response. Hsing-Yi is like a combination between Wing Chun and Tai Chi. It's linear like Wing Chun, but involves a lot more movement and applies the internal concepts of rooting, fa jin, etc. Of the three most common Chinese internals, Ba Gua, Tai Chi and Hsing-Yi, it is the most accessible. Also, a lot depends on your location and the teachers near you. Regardless of the style, if it's not a good teacher, then it may not suit. If you tell me what you want to get that you're not getting from Wing Chun, then I can perhaps offer more advice.
