Does Wing Chun teach fancy high kicks and acrobatic flips as seen in Kung Fu movies?
Wing Chun generally employs kicks to the mid body section and below. Leg sweeps and stomps are also used. It is generally believed by Wing Chun masters that low kicks are more difficult for the opponent to detect and it is much quicker to maintain and recover balance when delivering kicks that are waste and below. Flips are not taught nor practiced in the Wing Chun system as opportunities to apply them are rare and difficult in real situations.
