[QUOTE="Tellerve, post: 1178495, member: 2412"] Something my sifu of wing chun showed me, your kick really doesn't have more reach. Stand up and put your leg straight out, then your arm, both parallel to the floor. Assuming you aren't terrible misproportioned they should be the same. This was during a point he was making how wing chun doesn't kick above the waist. Saying that it is easier to hit with your fist as it is already up above your waist. And by the same token not to hit someone's knee with your fist but to kick it. Ok, a bit random, but when he showed me I was like, "huh". Oh, and please, I'm not trying to start a vs. martial art war, as I've trained in Tae Kwon Do so I know all about some high kicking and not saying it is bad in any way. Ok, so, back to the topic. Basically it just goes back to me not liking the brawl. What I don't like is the higher damage and the +1 to hit. I understand that it is non-lethal and provokes an AoO from some people. But it still irks me it does so much more damage. I think that people can take feats and get to be huge brawlers, but to be a martial artist and do lots of damage you have to take the advanced class martial artist. I guess that's another of my gripes. It might be one that can't be fixed easily though. Tellerve [/QUOTE]
