Hey DK,
I'm not sure what the Randy Williams system teaches or addresses in their kicks, but I think the simplest viewpoint I've seen so far has been that there is really only 1 kick in WC. Its just a matter of where you place it. Which makes sense to me.

There are a few more than that.There is even a whole form of kicks against 3 wooden poles mounted in the ground.People who do wing chun will know what I mean I can't remember what its called.Comment

All WingChun low kicks is all Non-telegraphic to the eye of the opponent, this is a very effective form of kicking, and, especially low kicks is the most powerful compare to high kicking......Originally posted by Hot SauceComment

I would have to agree that wing chun has some good low kicking techniques. The only ones that I have seen are a low snap kick to the knee or groin, low side kick to the thigh or knee and what looks like a stomp - correct me if I'm wrong.Originally posted by sherwincComment

correction!!!!Originally posted by Tom Yum
low side kick to the kneecap and not a low side kick to the thigh or knee
Note:
kneecap is very easy to dislocate in just one stomp rather than thigh or knee kick only.....Comment

Verc is right.
One snap kick isn't going to dislocate the knee. It will cause pain and swelling when the other guy tries to put his weight on it, but it won't take out the knee right away.
If you skip into a snap kick, get some momentum going and nail the other guy's knee, it WILL dislocate the knee or if you hit it from an angle.
I don't practice wing chun, but I have practiced other kicking arts that throw low kicks for self-defense and sparring.Comment

The one thing I like about Wing Chun's kicks would definitely be the speed and the fact that you don't need to be flexible. I could play semi-pro soccer right now, which means my legs are very muscular, which makes them pretty unflexible, like there's a point where I just can't bend them anymore. Wing Chun kicks are just fast and to the point, getting as much power into them as possible. If executed correctly, they hurt like hell. When training with my sifu, I'm amazed sometime at the speed and power he generates at such a short distance. One of the main things the kicking accomplishes though would definitely be that they are mainly used just to knock the guy down, leading into a flurry of chain punches usually.Comment

the truth is:
in kicking, the lower the kick - the better.......
Low Kicks are extremely more powerful compare to High Kicks........
if non-kungfu martial arts dont know how to do it - then i am very sorry, cause 6months of non-kungfu training is not a solid foundation in learning martial arts....
want a test???????
you need two small but heavy punching bags in an equal weight and size.....
one punching bag at knee level while the other punching bag in a head level.....
you have to kick those two punching bags very forcefull and examine if which of the two punching bags you kicked really hard..............
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)Comment

Do you want us to kick them both at once?Comment
