Lol : D You're kidding me right? The No shadow kick shown in the Jet Li movies was just for theatrics and created by reknowned martial arts choreographer Yuen Woo Ping for the "Once Upon a Time in China" series of movies. The real historical Wong Fei Hung didn't fly and throw multiple kicks at his opponents, he allegedy distracted his opponent with the hem of his long robe and kicked them while their line of sight was obstructed by his clothes' hem. That's reputedly how the technique got it's name "Kick with no Shadows", nothing fancy, just a tricky "sleight of hand" or in this case "sleight of foot" on Wong Fei Hung's part.

Do it downwards instead of horizontally.
