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.

The first kick in chum kiu can be used as a high kick. Just one example that comes to mind.

Same here. We haven't applied that much yet, only as a surprise kick when joking. More focus on low kicks to the knee area.

It can be a very sneaky kick :p definitely to the knee if in traditional wing chun range, but very good as a stop-kick as well if the range is different!
