+Charlie Tate To be honest, you are unlikely to snap a persons leg, as the leg tends to buckle or move under the pressure of this Wing Chun kick. It is very effective however, and one worth training, as it's simple and direct. Thanks for watching.
I've been searching for literally years for a decent tutorial on these kicks used in a dynamic scenario. Thank you. I train in kick boxing and bjj and these kicks tend to be pretty unconventional thus very difficult to find someone to properly teach them.
+justice Yes they are very unconventional, that's why we are starting to see them at higher levels of MMA competition these days. It catches a lot of fighters off guard. So it is well worth training. This video was a follow up to an earlier video on kicking (th-cam.com/video/nU2I1TWA1TI/w-d-xo.html). You may find this one interesting as well. It;s relates to the same topic. Thanks for watching.
+Onder Hassan Thank you. Agreed. Kicking is definitely an area that is rarely discussed in the Wing Chun community. Which is a shame as Wing Chun is a complete martial arts and fighting style with lots of different elements that are practical competitive fighting as well as self defence. There's more to Wing Chun than Chi Sao, hopefully this may inspire more discussion and Wing Chun videos by other Wing Chun schools on effective kicking techniques. Thanks for watching.
Like all things good conditioning is needed to be able to take.a kick as well as to deliver the kicks sitting more I believe helps to left the kicks I believe Sifu Mark if you can advise
+ashmohamed good point , I have trouble finding people who want to train kick because it hurts lol , I wonder how one can become conditioned to receiving kicks
+Ash Mohamed Thanks for the great question. Of course conditioning your legs for kicks is key, although central to Muay Thai Boxing, it is not common in Wing Chun training. This doesn't mean that you shouldn't consider conditioning your legs, but for the average Wing Chun student it may not be necessary. However, for those Wing Chun students that wish to enter a San Da or San Shou kickboxing tournament it is a must. thanks for watching.
This is quite useful and clarifying, for instance, I never noticed the difference in the effects a stomp kick has in disturbing your opponents balance when it lands laterally versus straight on. However, I found this video by entering "How to block or check a stomp kick" and no videos for that came up at all. I then tried "How to defend against a stomp kick" and nothing came back for those search terms either... If you could record and upload a similar video for that, you would be the real MVP.
Oblique Kicks as they are sometimes called in MMA are definitely effective in figting. Easy to deliver and difficult to see. Well worth training. Thank you for watching.
Thank you, we do aim to provide pratical information that will help your Wing Chun training, especially sparring and self defence training. Thanks for watching.
Thank you so much for making this video Sifu, loved it! Been hoping you'd cover the stomp kick for a while now, its my personal favourite Wing Chun kick!
+Chris NotReallyThatSweet Thanks for watching Chris. It is a great and underestimated Wing Chun technique. Yet, we're seeing it more and more in the MMA, so hopefully it may be taken more seriously now.
+Sifu Zubbiar Khaan Thank you for watching Zubbiar. As you know this is a very basic, yet effective, Wing Chun technique. We're just trying to bring it to our viewers attention.
+ChiSaoDave Thank you. 3 minutes and 3 major points that will make sure that you can kick successfully with this effective Wing Chun technique. We hope it helps you in your training. Thanks for watching.
+hku99 Thank you. We try to discuss aspects of Wing Chun that aren't regularly addressed on TH-cam, so we're glad you liked it. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
+George Antoniou Thank you for confirming the critical point of the angle. The key point to breaking your attackers structure in Wing Chun is to attack the inside of the leg. contrary to what people believe it is unlikely to break the person's leg, but more likely to knock them on the floor. It's a great and effective Wing Chun technique. Thanks for watching.
+TFGhunter Thank you. There's not much difference in speed between the two kicks. The kick you refer to is called a 'Lifting Kick' also know as Hay Gerk (Air Kick) in Wing Chun. This Wing Chun kick is introduced in the 2nd Form. This a direct and efficient way of kicking and is extremely effective when wearing shoes. It is more direct than this version, which is derived from the Wooden Dummy form, although these Wing Chun kicks are derivatives of the same front Wing Chun front kick. Lifting the knee will give you more power, so what you loose in directness, you gain in power. In addition this version of the Wing Chun kick is adaptable to MMA and San Da Kickboxing, in which you are bare foot. Hope that helps you. Thanks for watching.
Great question, thank you for asking. You use the kick of either leg for different effects. The back leg gives you more stamping power, the front leg is faster more direct, especially if you kick from where the foot lies (as in Wing Chun). Hope that helps. Thanks for watching.
+OscarMaris Yes it was more dramatic, but we decided to change it as our content is more serious and professional than some Wing Chun or Martial Arts channels. We hope you still liked the content of the video though. We're working hard to keep it fresh. Thanks for watching.
Yes about 93 I got into a situation in a bar my attack was heel of palm right under the chin which has gotten men airborne and on their back but this dude was big and scary so it resulted in him stepping bacwards off balance and dazed and followed with rear oblique kick with stomping through intent dude dropped instantly in screaming agony don't know what damage occured because we ran out and left before cops arrived and I swear the place was applauding me actions he had been punking folks looking for trouble since he walked in the bar and when he was in my face bouncers acted scared to even get involved he was big mean Mexican guy with a attitude if he got me first that been a bad outcome for me at the time had JKD and Sansoo training,That night I felt like a damn heroes lol,in reality I almost froze from fear,I learned a lot that moment
Lifting the knee is not as efficent as initiating the kick from the foot, but the direction of the kick caused by lifting the knee makes it more powerful. So there is a trade off. In reality the difference is in milli seconds and therefore would not make a difference in a real application. Besides there are better ways to mask the kick so that it is not telegraphed. Check out our other video that explains this in more detail. We also mention the differences above. th-cam.com/video/nU2I1TWA1TI/w-d-xo.html Thanks for watching.
+Charence .T Yes yes, the famous Jon Jones Oblique Kick. The fact that he's used it so effectively in the UFC , it is now quite common in MMA today. It's a very effective Wing Chun technique that can be combined well with other kicks and set ups. Some of the clips in the video show how the kick can be combined for MMA or San Da (San Shou) Kickboxing applications. It really is a great Wing Chun technique. Thanks for watching.
It does appear that kicking is under trained in Wing Chun, but there are a few schools in various countries that pay a lot of attention to practicing Wing Chun kicking. However it would be interesting to hear from other Wing Chun schools about their kicking training. Thanks for watching.
Yes nice point to add. foot stomps are very effective at close range, even in Wing Chun. Thanks for watching and adding the foot stomp point to the video.
Probably the most informative 3 1/2 minutes of fight instruction I have seen here on TH-cam. I am glad this video continues to persist. Thank you.
Those kicks look like they can snap a leg in half with no problem. Great video.
+Charlie Tate To be honest, you are unlikely to snap a persons leg, as the leg tends to buckle or move under the pressure of this Wing Chun kick. It is very effective however, and one worth training, as it's simple and direct. Thanks for watching.

Awesome tutorial Guru. Thank you 🙏🏾
Nice Video Sifu. Kicking has to be the most neglected aspects of training in Wing Chun. Its definitely a good reminder.

I use similar kicks, I Learned by savate, karate and krav maga .
I believe that work fines for self defense.
This is quite useful and clarifying, for instance, I never noticed the difference in the effects a stomp kick has in disturbing your opponents balance when it lands laterally versus straight on. However, I found this video by entering "How to block or check a stomp kick" and no videos for that came up at all.

This is awesome!!! I also like stomping on the toes as well, and that well set up alot of stuff
One of the key strategies in sparring is about breaking structure, cool instruction 🎋
your welcome. I use it to judge distance then maybe I might do a stomp kick to set up or stop his rhythm. Your video is awesome. Keep going
Thank you..this s definitely one of the best technique I have come across.
Oblique Kicks as they are sometimes called in MMA are definitely effective in figting. Easy to deliver and difficult to see. Well worth training. Thank you for watching.
+Adam K. Thank you very much, it's much appreciated.

+Chris NotReallyThatSweet Thanks for watching Chris. It is a great and underestimated Wing Chun technique. Yet, we're seeing it more and more in the MMA, so hopefully it may be taken more seriously now.
Thanks again
Should do a video on how to time and parry a punch as well as what punches are better blocked than parried
Very nice! Thank you for that, it is very informative!
Looks like a good qaulity Wing chun school. good to see sparring and a smart teacher.
Thank you. We do spend a lot of time here practicing various types of sparring, so we have a lot of experience in this area. Thank you for watching.
Thank you again Sifu Mark Phillips devastating stomp kick.
+Sifu Zubbiar Khaan Thank you for watching Zubbiar. As you know this is a very basic, yet effective, Wing Chun technique. We're just trying to bring it to our viewers attention.
Excellent video ! Another priceless information packed 3 minutes keep up the good work
+ChiSaoDave Thank you. 3 minutes and 3 major points that will make sure that you can kick successfully with this effective Wing Chun technique. We hope it helps you in your training. Thanks for watching.
Already looking forward to next weeks video !!
Thanks great information
+hku99 Thank you. We try to discuss aspects of Wing Chun that aren't regularly addressed on TH-cam, so we're glad you liked it. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
Great video Sifu, I've trained this and providing you get the correct angle this is devastating to you opponent's structure.
+George Antoniou Thank you for confirming the critical point of the angle.

Great video
+Dick Grayson Thank you for watching. We're glad you like it.
+Dick Grayson So this is where Robin learns to fight.
Haven't gone by Robin in years. But I stay fresh by watching these haha
Amazing, but, how can i defende the stomp kicks, can you help me and make a video talking about stomp kicks defence?
Late comment have you found any videos on the topic?
Important notes 📝 3:02
Great video!
I am wondering will raise the leg and then kick slow down the speed of kicking?Comparing with kick directly? Thank you!
+TFGhunter Thank you. There's not much difference in speed between the two kicks. The kick you refer to is called a 'Lifting Kick' also know as Hay Gerk (Air Kick) in Wing Chun.

+The London Wing Chun Academy That helps a lot! Thank you!
Nice.
Thank you for watching, much appreciated.
wolverson !
thanks 'wolverson' .
how do you guys train this in sparring without giving each other knee injuries?
Stomp kick Waite opponent comes to body
Do you normally advise performing this kick using your lead leg or hind leg?
Great question, thank you for asking. You use the kick of either leg for different effects. The back leg gives you more stamping power, the front leg is faster more direct, especially if you kick from where the foot lies (as in Wing Chun). Hope that helps. Thanks for watching.
I liked your original title for this video better
+OscarMaris Yes it was more dramatic, but we decided to change it as our content is more serious and professional than some Wing Chun or Martial Arts channels. We hope you still liked the content of the video though. We're working hard to keep it fresh. Thanks for watching.
Does anyone tried the kick to side of a knee? Does itwork?
Good question. It would be interesting to hear if anyone else uses this kick. Especially people that don't train Wing Chun.
Yes about 93 I got into a situation in a bar my attack was heel of palm right under the chin which has gotten men airborne and on their back but this dude was big and scary so it resulted in him stepping bacwards off balance and dazed and followed with rear oblique kick with stomping through intent dude dropped instantly in screaming agony don't know what damage occured because we ran out and left before cops arrived and I swear the place was applauding me actions he had been punking folks looking for trouble since he walked in the bar and when he was in my face bouncers acted scared to even get involved he was big mean Mexican guy with a attitude if he got me first that been a bad outcome for me at the time had JKD and Sansoo training,That night I felt like a damn heroes lol,in reality I almost froze from fear,I learned a lot that moment
Wouldn't lifting the knee to chamber the kick telegraph your intentions?
Lifting the knee is not as efficent as initiating the kick from the foot, but the direction of the kick caused by lifting the knee makes it more powerful. So there is a trade off. In reality the difference is in milli seconds and therefore would not make a difference in a real application. Besides there are better ways to mask the kick so that it is not telegraphed.

'The Oblique Kick' lol just joking Sifu
+Charence .T Yes yes, the famous Jon Jones Oblique Kick. The fact that he's used it so effectively in the UFC , it is now quite common in MMA today. It's a very effective Wing Chun technique that can be combined well with other kicks and set ups. Some of the clips in the video show how the kick can be combined for MMA or San Da (San Shou) Kickboxing applications. It really is a great Wing Chun technique. Thanks for watching.
I wonder why kicking is so neglected by a lot of the wing chun community ? Do any on the guys commenting on here train kicking as much as hands ??
It does appear that kicking is under trained in Wing Chun, but there are a few schools in various countries that pay a lot of attention to practicing Wing Chun kicking. However it would be interesting to hear from other Wing Chun schools about their kicking training. Thanks for watching.
You’re wasting seconds lifting up and chambering knee. Be more direct
This is awesome!!! I also like stomping on the toes as well, and that well set up a lot of stuff
Yes nice point to add. foot stomps are very effective at close range, even in Wing Chun. Thanks for watching and adding the foot stomp point to the video.
