Some basic kicks practicing in Wushu

[Naniy55462]

what a kicks its really amazing

[petrucci15]

these r exactly the same as the basics i learnt in china doing shaolin kung fu.....these wushu basics come from shaolin training, really cool stuff! love it

[JackJX]

Is that sound coming from his feet kicking his own head??

[TheSunita19]

i tryd this at home and broke my leg :( then i had to go to the hospital and told em bout this and the doc told me i had to strecht....jesus put that in discription

[soysauce512]

these are basic kicks, but a while a to perfect them

[lovestarwarsechobase]

i love it but hes leg on the groun is always bended ore is that just the lok of hes wushu pants ??

[mizlilly236]

@lovestarwarsechobase lmao his 'wushu pants'

[1998bigben]

i really like the sweeps!

[kapoof2]

how come in wushu they kick with a straight leg?

[nagi85]

@kapoof2 In wushu I think it's because they feel it generates more power. Plus I've heard it protects the joints.

[kapoof2]

@nagi85 in my opinion, and only in my opinion, it seems to do neither, kicking like that would seem to waste effort while at the same time straining the lower back

[AmorPatriae11]

@kapoof2 *if you bend your knee you can't get that high and you won't have that much power. here 0:46 the kick is supposed to just push you off.... it's really hard to explain you should see the application of the kicks in a fight XD

[therightstuff360]

@kapoof2 when I did kungfu at my old school, these were warm-up/stretches as preparation. In terms of the forms and the learning/practicing of strikes, we were taught not lock any joint

[AmorPatriae11]

@kapoof2 it depends on where the kick is supposed to land and on the part of the foot. the straight leg is supposed to hit and slide down the body while pushing really hard (it's easier to understand when you see the kicks applied) the one that's waist level the part of the foot that hits is the ball. whereas when it's the heel that's supposed to hit you bend you leg at the knee like 1:06. at 0:01 the kick is supposed to be froms shoulder downward if you bend urkn first you can't get that high

[MERSHITEISE]

exactly what we did every class, except that i wasnt able to kick my own forehead.

[PundAproduktion]

warum kickt der sich selbst xDDDD

[DJTeddy0716]

holy shit his feet go above his head O_O

I can barely get my feet to my shoulders

[searock1988]

Wushu kicks are very simple. Just kick your face and u're good to go.

[keron11]

i would LMAO if that guy would hit hes own face ( its pro stuff i know its just funny to think about )

[BigNose144]

I would laugh so damn load and long if he kicked himself in his face! LOL

[ultraphoennix]

what do we call that round spining down kick he gust use at the last?

[jojonjef]

@ultraphoennix we call it back sweep

[skytte71]

@jojonjef and @ultraphoennix and in Chinese = Hou Sao Tui

Hou = Back

Sao = Sweep

Tui = Leg (or Kick)

Tui means leg, but it depends on, in which context it is used, so it can also mean kick.

[normanelanie]

these are basics... u can only do such things if u have "DISCIPLINE" that is if you have... have respect also... Im taking up wushu too... XD u can only hit ur face if ur stupid enough to put much force on ur kick.. lols.. common sense......

[bauisakim]

omg... wtf. lol. Amazing! So awesome.

[shuwukong]

to me these are no basics!

[InfedelKillerz]

@shuwukong Eh? You can kick that straight and close you can almost hit yourself in the face with your toe?

[shuwukong]

@InfedelKillerz

not the teo, the shin

[InfedelKillerz]

@shuwukong well, strictly, the toe goes inward first. So basically the shin wont hit you if the toe doesnt

[shuwukong]

@InfedelKillerz

your feet will go above your head, so the toes won't hit your face (unless your legs are short)

[ShaolinKungfuArnhem]

@shuwukong nope but in kungfu they are. We always get this. I hate from in to out kick this ar around 0:30

[5674trackrunner]

holy crap thats crazy. you kick so fast OMG.

[nosferdo]

your doing it wrong. You standing leg mustnt be bend its a big mistake

[linengmiao]

whn does he do this mistake ?

[OnCuz98]

@nosferdo he does bend his leg dip haha

[1998232v6]

I like wushu, if they offered it around here i would probably take it

[statszero1]

you guys doing wushu?

[sukarestu]

Gosh

Thats basic?

Not gnab easy for me

The kick extent, doenst look right for me

[Britishbulldog87]

lol.. these kicking techniques are REALLY good to practice with guys.. but I've actually kicked myself in the face before, not pleasant, and my Sifu has seen someone knock themselves out!.. so be careful, as it may be hard to gauge the distance, and overkick! :P but very good to do

[maddude3]

haha ya it looked like this guy was trying to kick himself in the face a few times

[Britishbulldog87]

lol indeed.. :D makes ya hardcore! lol

[mcgrath111]

Yeh but you have to be a a resonable high level to be able to kick to your face or extremly flexible.

[shuwukong]

@mcgrath111

your feet wont hit your face, only your shin will (unless your legs are super short)

and you dont need to be extremely flexible to be able to do that, i cant even do a complete split, but i've kicked on my nose several times

[robo199617]

@shuwukong You need a certain degree of flexibility though, and you cant bend your back forward or backward either.

[bladesaint21]

Ocean?!?!? ...What kind of name is dat for a brutha?!?!

[Ultimativnaruto]

Really Good!!!!!!!!

[Xplodz]

How does he kick so fast with straight legs? I got snapping hip syndrome from practising too many leg lifts like that

[kuyagrfkjabrkguyaer]

Xplodz, he kicks so fast with straight legs becouse he is experienced and he has trained a lot and his legs are only muscles and no fat and he liftst them that wauy fast :)

[airforceallie]

did you listen to the clip? he kicks faster than the speed of sound! lol

this is a very useful clip for practicing basics, thanks a lot.

[Waranoa]

haha

[animatestate]

@airforceallie Haha! I saw that and heard it too.

[MarmarAkaSeiryu]

@airforceallie lmao i was waiting 4 someone to say that. its just sound lag

[LimitesBaise]

@airforceallie He is hitting his forehead man.

[Wushu360]

dang hes like 40 years old 2! i think :)

[TKDfighter123]

they might kick themselves in the head,lol!!!

[VivanteWesternreiten]

I´ve seen children in Shaolin reaching their foreheads when kicking, but I never saw someone adult doing it this way b efore!

[HoYanJian]

He is awsome :D, nice Yifu too :)

[hudder92]

You have already rated.

[MaBu888]

That was amazing, there was only one rating, two stars, the I put 5 stars because you can kick your own head, which shows... something.

[chibigatts]

very useful, i know them all, but here looks more pretty

[chablemon]

I like it, ill practice untoil my kicks looks like them!
