Shadowless feet Huang Fei-hong was a master of the southern Chinese kungfu, which stresses planting oneself firmly. (They call the idea "bronze bridge, iron horse.") In attacking they strived for steadiness, and so they didn't kick any higher than their waists. The flips and high leaps featured in the movies are derived mainly from the highly vigorous and agile movements of northern kungfu.
黃飛鴻是南派拳師，南拳特色是銅橋鐵馬，出拳講求穩重，踢腿不過腰；而電影裡的黃飛鴻翻騰跳躍，竟多是北派的矯健身手。
