First of all you are watching too many movies. The fights in real live never go down like they do in the movies. If you get in a fight you are going to get hit. If you can't accept that you are going to get hit then don't fight. Your opponent will never just stand there and let you hit him so they are going to get something in especially if they have had training.
If you can't kick and from your post I have to say you simply lack practice. Timing kicks for most people is harder than timing hand techniques. So practice and don't just blame something else like the style or the teacher. That's just simply wrong trying to find fault with other things than trying to make the correction where the fault really is. Just about everybody on here always blames the style or a teacher when they suck in fighting. They'll never amount to anything if they don't face up and solve the problem where the problem really is.
Here is how you train weaknesses. First of all you get rid of the ego then in sparring matches when training you use only the techniques you are bad at which in your case are the kicks. No hand techniques at all. You'll get hit tons of times (that's why you will need to lose the ego first) at first but eventually you will figure out the timing and get better at it. Training is not about winning all the sparring matches it is about improving.
So suck it up, get back to the drawing board and train hard.
I think you got your problems mixed up. You stated that you were opened to kicks, but then you ask how to kick better. Learning to kick better will not make you any less venerable to kicks.
You need to learn to defend against kicks is what you need to do. First find out how your style defends against kicks. This method will probably blend in with the rest of your techniques the best. If your style does not have a method then go look up how the style you are trying to block against blocks them, because if a style always have a defense against it's own offense. Whether it's your style's or other style's kick defense train the movement. It's best if you can get a training partner to feed you the kicks but you can do it solo too. The repetitive motion and seeing the kicks should increase your reaction time. And that's it. It's that simple really.
This is going to sound like an ad but look up Gary Lam's "Awesome Kicking Techniques" and his "Wing Chun Kicking Techniques" on Cranes production. There's an Instant DVD download which costs cheaper than buying the DVD and you get it pretty quickly.
Those videos will teach you (at least conceptually) how to use Wing Chun kicks.
Also, train the mindset of reading your opponent's intentions. This comes from watching the eyes (not always 100%, but there's something about it). You'll also need to get into the mentality to "go in and don't care what they do, you're going to hit him".
Wing Chun is for short range combat, so get in close and stick. If you had any understanding of chi sao, then you wouldn't be getting kicked.
In my opinion high kicks are dangerous to use when going against a skilled fighter, they would be on their back before they knew what hit them.
If you can't kick that is your fault or your instructors now the style. Wing chun kicks work fine the way they are, like any style you need to practice them correctly
LIAR
Its the summer holidays in the UK how can you be in school? is this a special school for learning needs ?
also if this story is real why dont you close the guard and dodge and block his kick and then just use raw punchs and kicks
if you kick short snapping kicks are best
It seems that you need to focus on not getting into fights. After that you need to learn to be well rounded. It takes time to learn skills, and it takes practice to get good at them.
That's okay.
It's understandable because my kicking isn't the best either. Your instructor is there to aid you. Calm down, please.
I'm half Jap. Half Chinese.
I've always taken an interest in Kung Fu which is why I've participated in Wing Chun since the age of 4.
I can give good kicks, I can do some acrobatic stuff too during my combinations when sparring etc.
However last week I got into a fight with some other boy who is in the year above me, he does TKD I believe and Muay Thai. I did beat him although I left the fight bleeding and bruised as he gave me some open kicks.
As I went home after being sent to the head teachers office that day, I can't help but feel ashamed as to how open I was with his kicks. I even went to my ground to train even more, and I couldn't work how I'd walk away like that again. My Fighting style lacks kicks, I can kick really good but I don't know when and how to use them along with my fighting techniques.
Does anyone know any good Kung fu that allows its trainee to use kicks a lot ? Please reply.
I'd also appreciate it if somebody could tell me how I could increase reaction time. I've noticed that my reaction time to kicks is slow as well. I don't know if it's just anxiety on kicks or something.
It's just since that fight I've been more and more redundant about kicks.
Thank you. Also sorry if half of this doesn't make sense, it's 5:23am in the UK and I'm watching Game of Thrones on Netflix <3 I leave for training in 2 hours as well lol.
