Wing Chun Techniques

WingChun kicks aren't well known, and that’s too bad. Although it doesn’t use fancy Capoeira or high-flying Taekwondo kicks, a well-trained WingChun artist uses kicks effectively. Borrowing from its Southern Shaolin Kung Fu style, WingChun kicks are aimed low. Typically to the floating ribs and below. Here are the four common kicks you’ll see used by WingChun artists. Master these WingChun techniques and you won’t feel like you lack any kicking skills ombining one straight punch with another straight punch following directly behind from the opposite arm gives you the roll punch (also called the chain punch). In actuality, a roll punch contains at least three straight punches in quick succession, not just two (i.e. right, left, right or left, right, left). If you’re on the receiving end it’s like getting hit with a machine gun. The straight punch and combination roll punch forms the basis of all Wing Chun techniques you learn. Proper Wing Chun technique avoids hard blocks like those seen in Karate, Muay Thai, Taekwondo, or Krav Maga.
