Kicks

A kick means a move of the lower limb to attack or defend.

Though legs are longer and more powerful than arms, however they are also the limbs that keep balance.  When one leg is raised to launch a kick, the other one has to be withdrawn to support the bodyweight.

Kicks are effective only at a certain range or distance, when the feet can reach the opponent while the arms can not. A Wing Tzun practitioner dose not recklessly raise a leg to kick, unless he is sure of hitting the target. When launching a kick, the leg that is kicking should not be withdrawn, but should step down where it has reached, and should drag the rear leg that
keep the weight & balance of the body forward.

There are in fact not to many kicking methods in the Wing Tzun system. They include only the Frontal Thrusting Kick, the Sideward Thrusting Kick and the Slant Thrusting Kick, which, combined with variations in position and angles, form  the total of eight kicking methods. These eight kicking methods, however, can be performed in correlation with various sets
of offensive or defensive techniques wit various sets of offensive or defensive techniques.

There are two characteristics of the kicking techniques of the Wing Tzun system.

The first is that a kicking technique of the system has to be performed in
correlation with an arm technique so as to diversify the attention of the
opponent.

The second is that a kicking technique of the system is usually performed in close range, so that it can take its effect without giving warning to the opponent.
