In the Wing Chun martial art style, practitioners typically focus on fighting at three ranges: long, medium, and close range. These ranges are defined by the distance between the practitioners and the type of techniques that are effective at each range.

Long range: Long range is the distance at which practitioners can strike each other with long, extended techniques, such as kicks and punches. At long range, practitioners typically focus on using footwork and long-range strikes to keep their opponent at a distance.

Medium range: Medium range is the distance at which practitioners can strike each other with medium-range techniques, such as punches and elbow strikes. At medium range, practitioners typically focus on using footwork and medium-range strikes to close the distance and create openings for attacks.

Close range: Close range is the distance at which practitioners can strike each other with close-range techniques, such as grappling, trapping, and joint locks. At close range, practitioners typically focus on using close-range techniques to control their opponent and disrupt their balance.

Overall, in the Wing Chun martial art style, practitioners focus on fighting at all three ranges and are trained to adapt their techniques and strategies depending on the distance between them and their opponent.
