[blackjesus]

I heard of this terms and read from the book about Sifu Duncan Leung?
Which 8 kicks are they and which forms are they from?

There are lots of things in WC that aren't in the forms.

So true

But as far as I know, all the legwork for Wing Chun is in either the empty hand, wooden man or weaponry forms. I just don't believe in 'waiting' until you learn these forms to be exposed to the legwork! We have separate drills for such things...

It's not wing chun, but it's a great overall look at kung fu kicking methods.

Kick is just kick. I don't believe there is a such thing as WC kicks and none WC kick.

The author Lee Ying Arng was a Taiji guy. He didn't label his 24 kicks as Taiji 24 kicks but genaral TCMA kicks.

That kind of thinking is frowned upon. Good job....

I heard the same too, but not that they're at the 'end', they're hidden within the form itself. Like the stepping really. Very hard to learn from a book lol!!

My kung fu uncle Austin Goh teaches a Sup Look Gerk Fut form (16 kicking methods) and my Sifu teaches a Moi Faa Mook Jong set (Plum Flower Wooden Man) that also contains all our legwork. Both look a little different but are fundamentally the same imho.

I find it interesing that even the 'terms' of such stuff (which I thought was common knowledge!) varys from family to family. It still looks like it's a well kept 'secret' from where I'm standing

With all due respect G, I don't think I have ever even seen you interested in the language or culture of Wing Chun so I presume you couldn't care less for the terms everyone has shared here either!

AND I have yet to see any clip of any WSL guys using kicks, so you must have your own secrets too lol!

[deejaye72]

kick me! lol

[deejaye72]

i never thought they were a secret, just the more advanced guys were practicing it when i was a beginner, i just never thought to ask, i will ask my dad about them when i go to class. spencer it was probably just a way to practice them in a sequence for training like you said, no big deal
