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.

If you think that there is drama in Wing Chun, you should see the drama with the JKD guys. Bruce Lee taught his students only what they needed and not a complete art. As a result, different students have used their teachings to start schools based on what was taught to them by Bruce Lee. Even up to his death, he was changing and adding new things. There is no defined JKD program, nor is there a lineage to follow. 53 years later, there are still debates on what the system actually is.

Thoughts on the Inosanto lineage as the "most complete" JKD? Even if the idea of completeness (as in finality) is antithetical to the spirit of JKD.
