This kicking technique is called “whirlwind kick”. It looks like but is not the same as the round-house kick in Taekwondp. Unlike in Taekwondo, kicks in kungfu are purposely inconspicuous. Also, it is very important to ensure one’s safety before kicking and that he should not be dangerously exposed, because in kungfu there are no safety rules as in Taekwondo. Notice how useful stances are. As Dave has controlled Sifu Wong’s both hands, it appears that Sifu Wong has no way to block Dave’s chop. Yet, by moving back into a False Leg Stance, Sifu Wong gets out of the difficult situation. Notice also that Sifu Wong “threads” the chop. His defence is not a block. Had it been a block his arm could be broken by Dave’s chop.
