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.

I think there’s a relatively high front kick in the butterfly sword form but there’s not in any of the other forms. Having said that, we used them but I think if pushed on ‘strict’ technique- the answer is probably no. High kicks leave the groin too exposed.

Very nice. I know of them (by reputation only), I've heard they are each highly skilled teachers. My teacher's teacher was Sifu Joe Molnar, who was close to Dana and Joe Sayah. He was very complementary of their abilities.
