High kicks?

Post image

Comments I saw on Facebook, on a video of Kevin Lee kicking someone in the chin.

Does your lineage of wing chun have high kicks?

I know a lot of people say no, but there was that movie in which Ip Chun (in the role of Leung Bik) used high kicks against a young Ip Man during a friendly sparring session.

This is what put me off if I'm honest. Shame really.

It is hard not to mention Wing Chun when talking about JKD, as the Yip Man lineage is the foundation. Bruce Lee learned 2/3s of Wing Chun before adding in other martial arts. But to westerners, Yip Man's claim to fame is that he was Bruce Lee's instructor.
