Taekwondo (TKD) is a Martial Art which has its emphasis on head-height kicks, jumping and spinning kicks and fast kicking techniques. Taekwondo is a competition orientated sport where points are awarded for strikes. Whereas Wing Chun Kung Fu is recognised as one of the worlds most practical and effective Martial Arts which is dynamic but simple using an opponents strength against them, Wing Chun is first and foremost a self defence not a contact sport. The system is about evolving and not using strength to defeat an opponent in self defence.
To enable the fast kicks Taekwondo generally adopts stances that are narrower with the trade-off of decreased stability is believed to be worth the increased agility whilst keeping a distance from the opponent. Wing Chun Kung Fu has a balanced grounded stance enabling you to effectively react to a situation and to re-direct and opponents attached whilst keeping total stability. This gives you not only speed when reacting but also the ability to position yourself close to the opponent from a self defence aspect, to defend and attack simultaneously.
