Wing Chun Kicking Techniques

[sherwinc]

Do you want us to kick them both at once?

no......

individual kicking only.......

experimenting to kick low...... then after you kick that low punching bag..... then kick the higher punching bag...... then honestly judge if which of them you kicked most powerfully......


dont cheat yourself........

[Thai Bri]

Well, why can't just use ONE BAG THEN YOU NINNIE?

Convinced?

Convinced?

in order for the Human Dummies to understand, it must be explained it detailed by detailed that even a Grade-1 Section-11 can simply understand.......

[Thai Bri]

For once I agree with you. Low kicks make far far more sense than high ones. And even they should be rare.

[Seismic Anamoly]

I have to agree there as well. Those low kicks do generate more power in a short range. Maybe since at such a range the kick is thrusted still by the weight of the person kicking. Rather than a high kick that depends on the just the momentum of the leg itself.

[Thai Bri]

Gravity has ot be overcome with a high kick, and that not only means you cannot use it, overcoming it eats up your power.

Convinced?

[Tom Yum]

LOW KICKS ARE MORE POWERFUL COMPARE TO HIGH KICKS........

note:

in TaeKwonDo - you have to kick as high as you can (very bad)

in KungFu - you have to kick as low as you can (very good)

Low kicks are better strategy, but not necessarily more powerful. Not true about TKD having to kick high all the time.

The better TKD fighters use leg checks to block mid level kicks. They can kick body level pretty hard too. Since most TKD fighters do not train low kicks, they don't do them with great power and cannot defend them.

Found below H2H's kick article was the following article...

Sherwinc hears a knee kicking technique that you may like:

Opponent is closing gap, when they come into approximatly the right range, move 45 degrees to the outside of the front leg and execute a front kick to the knee, no not the knee cap the knee. You target the front leg because that's the leg that is locked to closest too it, and the back leg isnt locked well enough. If the person's at a dead run than this obviously isnt the technique for that sitituation.

Do not use this technique in other scenarios, person crouching, person running at you. If somebody's running at you from a long distance away (parking lot type distance) a side kick to the abdomen should stop/slow them (got to be able to kick that high cold). If its a run at you from moderate distance an uppercut or a punch or the solar plexus depending on varying factors.

This is a very simple kind of moves but it is very effective.......

[Toudiyama[NL]]

low kicks are more powerfull but the higher targets are more vulnerable aren't they?

what do you think does more damage. Crocop kicking your leg or him kicking your head?

only adressing power here, because one is more vulnerable during high kicks

[sherwinc]

True but high kicks are more difficult to get off and the legs are more vulnerable than many think, but not as vulnerable as sherwinc thinks.

BTW: I'm not addressing the power argument just vulnerability and ease of kicking target.

Sherwinc: That's what the whole idea is; Simple but effective. Its harder to mess it up if its simple, and if its effective and simple it probally wont fail you when you nead it most.

then WingChun would be the Best Martial Arts..... why??????

cause it is SIMPLE, DIRECT, and TO THE POINT.......

[bugei]

the truth is:
in kicking, the lower the kick - the better.......

Not really. The most powerful place a kick can come from is hip level. Since that's your center and all your power is generated there, it's the strongest area.

[Thai Bri]

I agree that power can be generated there. But why should that translate int the kicks performed at that level being the most powerful?

[bugei]

Because you're able to get more hip torque and steadier balance at hip level.

[sherwinc]

True, Very True and i agree.....
