Finally some real wing chun compared to just talking about the "energy" and "skeletal structure" and "1700 internal wing chun". Everyone wants to feel special lol

Hi Alan what are some counters that you would do if somebody caught your lifting kick like the way you have done at 1:44?

[@alanorrwingchunacademy1302]

Really depends on a number of factors

[@-_ellipsis_-5219]

Alan, I have a question that I seriously think could use a video. What place do you think the boxing/kickboxing "high guard" has in Wing Chun? When to initiate high guard, and when to avoid it? The reason I say this is because before I was trained in ANYTHING, I was in a bit of a street fight ganged up by some other kids. My default survival instinct was shelling up in very tight high guard, and I got off unscathed. I threw a lot less punches than I took, but nothing was hitting me clean. It's obviously not without its flaws and openings, but there's no denying that high guard has a valuable place in fights, even without gloves. What do you think?

[@alanorrwingchunacademy1302]

In Wing Chun goal is to make a bridge contact. That's why in Chi Sao we don't release to cover the head, the bridge contact is the defense as such. It there is distance then one must cover the head. I will do a video on it.

@@alanorrwingchunacademy1302 I really appreciate it and look forward to it! 🫡

1:50 Hi Alan what are some counters you would do if someone caught your kick like that or like how the thai kickboxers wrap their arms around your leg?

[@alanorrwingchunacademy1302]

Yes, you can wrap the leg, you can kick the opponents other kick, you can punch the opponent.

[@iamaguywholikesmartialarts3731]

@@alanorrwingchunacademy1302 Oh I meant if you tried kicking your opponent and he caught your leg instead. What are some ways you would counter that?

[@trolololololololollolololo9709]

1:48 Hi Alan what would this movement be called in wing chun? Also, what kind of block would you use against a head kick at that kind of range?

[@alanorrwingchunacademy1302]

Not every move has a name. The idea of the art is the principles give you the concept of movement and timing. High head leg - block is tan and wu held against the head, of double gan with footwork to move with the power, or get out of the way, step back

[@iamaguywholikesmartialarts3731]

1:32 Do you catch front kicks in wing chun? Is it similar to a muay thai style catch?

[@alanorrwingchunacademy1302]

Many styles catch kicks like that

[@marcusv2226]

I wouldnt take a kick from a kick boxer you're better off checking the kick with your shin.

[@jacesmith9342]

Check out shorinji kempo and how they check kicks. It’s pretty kool. But yiud have to be really good to pull it off. Or your opponent telegraph a lot.

[@alanorrwingchunacademy1302]

You can do that for sure. I have trained that as well. It just requires a lot of conditioning and holds a higher chance of breaking one's leg. I have trained Dutch style kickboxing and both methods are used.
