Caution: Arms against legs involve good timing. A good kick can break arms.
There are other alternatives.

Often we see moves being invented to accomodate misunderstood hand actions. Like trying to make the dummy 1:1 application, with overturned stances, due to the idea that the dummy is man we move around.
Set pieces for "if a guy kicks this way...we block etc...".
Or if guy punches like this just stand and block like statue...
A lot of set pieces require the attacker to not follow up with takedowns, shoots. This leaves the set piece merchant vulnerable to feints, set ups, instead of 'fighting', with mobilty, distance control, intercepting....
You mixed three entirely different things into your comment about the dummy. No 1:1 application or overturned stances, just structure and distance training but some parts in the form 'are' meant to "move around", some parts aren't.
I like how you put the most vague expression in almost every one of your posts. "Fighting, with mobility, distance control, intercepting..." Why don't you just respond to everything with only that expression?........ PB seminar notes again?
Not what I wrote...
We train different methods, GH understands , you dont, I could care less, your rather pompous anyway.
"Someone who is looking at Ving Tsun and has not spent enough time with a teacher, probably will not know enough footwork. He will not understand the mobility involved in Ving Tsun, the angles of attack, the kicks in all situations. He will therefore want to add kicks for all situations.He will therefore want to add something else to the style that he thinks is better for the sake of not knowing."

I worked out with two guys who visited from mainland China, I think it was in Beijing, I don't know? Whoever has a school there from the WSL family. They were good, don't get me wrong, but missing some of the subtitles so to speak. Too rigid, not in a good structure kind of way. Plus, the way you guys almost force your elbow into your center is easy to take advantage of IMO, at least against another WC guy. The switching too was almost always regular or break timing, which once again, against another WC guy who knows all the timings, easy to read.....
I agree with you on the Kwan sao being effective against an uppergate attack. Be it a kick or punch. Duncan Leung drilled us with the kwan against high kicks so much thats it's second nature to me now. REGARDLESS of the kicker. Though I have no video I have stopped kicks from MT and Kyokushin fighters. But as Joy says if your timing is off so are your arms.
Phil , so what would you suggest then ? The only thing I can think of is get out of the way and avoid the kick , then move in and do whatever you can to close the gap on your opponent . Because if I don ' t get out of the way , I get slammed already . Not good for WC people .
Phil , you learn Traditional Wing Chun probably from from GM Cheung or his assistant sifu . I have deep respect for GM Cheung .
What would you suggest ?
