Abstract

Biomechanics is the field of study that analyzes and measures factors that make up the science of human movement, with concepts from mechanics. The application of these studies to Chinese martial arts is restricted, including the techniques of Wing Chun Kung Fu. This work is a literature review that investigated and presented explanations for the variables that could clarify differences displayed in the execution of the frontal kick in this modality. To corroborate the study proposal, articles, books and other data sources were used. The results showed low scientific production on this martial art and, in particular, on the frontal kick technique in addition to indications that confirmed their relevant influence on the performance of this technique.

Keywords: Muscle action. Joint stability. Body balance. Wushu.
