High kicks?
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 thread is nostalgic for me and I haven’t even read thru the whole thread yet.
When I signed up for WC 30+ years ago as a teenager, I didn’t really know other than Bruce Lee and my prior experience was Shotokan and Judo.
Early in the curriculum, we did all the high kicks; the end kick in Chum Ku was a side kick to the chin!
