Wing chun fighting problem?
Side step and counter.


You can go low or high.


Low because their on one leg,(balance problem)


High because you have the opportunity while they are thinking low.
Reply:Just prior to the fight, shoot them in both knees. That should take care of this annoying problem.
Reply:When they go to knee you lift your knee at the same time and knock theirs sideways slightly with it. They will either be pushed off balance (most likely) or have to push back in which case you drop your knee because their momentum will have stopped.





Or just move to their opposite side away from the knee when they go to knee you. They will usually just set their foot down in a predictable place to turn to face you, in which case you can take advantage of knowing where their balance will be next and exploit it with a leg sweep, knee knock, or strike.
Reply:How should I say it? So you are a Wing Chun guy? Wing Chun is smart. In Wing Chun we don't like to tell people how to get out of a situation or counter a movement but we first ask how did one get into that situation of getting kneed in the first place? In order for the other people to kneed you they have to give you information that they will be kneeing you. If you are in contact with that person I mean hand to hand you will feel that they have to release tension in their hands to give you information that they will knee. In that case you know that they will knee. In Wing Chun we go hand against hand, leg against leg, elbow against elbow, diamond against diamond. If they try to knee you use your knee against their knee at the same time that they try to excute the knee. Sticking to your opponent is a good thing. What I have just mention about the leg against leg and knee against knee you will train that in an exercise call Chi Gerk (sticking leg). There are also movements in the Chum Kiu to defense against the knee also. You can also unbalance them if they knee with a lap (grap) if that is probable. Don't back up if they try to knee remember. That will only make you walking to their area that they try to knee.





Note: I have been worst situation where some muy thai cat is trying to throw me a flying knee to my chest. However, in that case I have used Wing Chun's Dim Chek (Wing Chun front Kick) to defense against it. I remember that I kick that cat's leg so hard that he can't even do another knee.
Reply:View, study, and practice the triple Gum Sau movement of the Chum Kil form.
