If you are interested in learning ground fighting, then I would suggest that you find a good bjj school, or sambo school, or any of the other excellent ground fighting schools around you.

Why do you want to learn wing chun with ground fighting? As far as I know, wing chun has no ground fighting in it. Sure, if you find someone who knows wing chun really well, they can probably create a form of ground fighting out of wing chun, but that would probably take years of trial and error.

What you have to realize is that wing chun was not created for ground fighting. It was created for stand up close range fighting and that is what wing chun fighters are excellent at. Grapplers are good at grappling cause they spend hours rolling on the ground. We spend hours in in close range contact, so that is our speciality.

I would suggest that if you are interested in grappling to find a good grappling school. If you are interested in wing chun, then find a good wing chun school. If you are interested in both, then study both. But just make sure that your instructors in each art are qualified to teach it.
