Spinning Hook kick KO

[htboston]

in tae kwon do, we call it a wheel kick.

[Sevv9220]

Very good.

[mrkiky]

SAWEET! 

[grytoria]

he used R1 + O + X + L1

[Temujin4815]

or you could just call it ushiro mawashi and stop bitching about it. It was a back spinning kick to the face, the guy had a shitty guard and ate the kick full speed and he fell. The kick itself was extremely efficient because of the impeccable timing.

[xoxsamandkimxox]

ko means knockout, it does not mean knock over.

[HavocCrusader]

Press 4 then 5 and it's Insta kill...

(I'm still stuck on Black Ops)

[Lukeiru]

He shouldn't have switched his stance. It seems like he was a righty and wanted to poke with front leg round kick. Or maybe a lefty and wanted to use his right to set up a good back-leg kick.

[likestojam]

now thats a CHICKAPOW!!

[novemberrain1994]

FINISH HIM

[annabanna666]

i didnt see any ko,but still nice kick

[45vincentconnolly]

Wonderful technique.

[DrewThePirate]

As a practitioner, I can affirm that that was a badass kick.

[eth92]

I'm pretty speachless, that kick was dead on

[davidonspecialk]

your chambering step is beautiful!!!!!!!

[RichardAlmighty12345]

Great control man.

[SuperBluepurple]

not a ko just a knockdown disapointing

[krustofogus]

Thank you all for the kind comments! I spoke to the gentlemen that went down after the match and he was just fine. It stunned him more than anything.

[Shodan99]

Hey man, I love this video. I have watched it too many times to count, and have read some of the comments that people have left. The one thing I see being over looked is CONTROL. Control and placement is a tell tale sign of skill, anyone saying that it was soft or weak can go back to their Kempo/ Dance studio and live in their delusional world thinking that they know martial arts. Oh and learn the difference between there, their and they're before explaining to the world how ignorant you are.

[flamingbudo]

I can't believe the guy went down. Sure the spinning momentum adds speed and power, but he still didn't get hit that hard, and it connected with the head protector!

The kicker didn't have the momentum to have his foot continue in the rotation, his foot just casually went back to the ground. I was in martial arts, and was kicked in the head way harder then that and never went don.

[Wolfsbane909]

Thats got to hurt. can't believe he just stood there and took it, kept his hands real low too for it to connect. I mean once they turn their back, which is a pretty stupid thing to do in a fight, just close in and finish.

or deflect it, u can knock a person off balance with a good deflection.

Punches are faster but lacks the range of the legs. kept his hands down, thats what got him knocked.

[ooJDMoo]

yeah some people underestimate the "no punches to the head" rule and don't expect the kick to come so fast, it was pretty fast.

[Desconhecido150]

karate rulez!

[counterstep]

That sir is funny as hell!!

[JAyubeMusic]

Hapkido!

[saintpk]

that was one of the weakest kicks iv ever seen, he got lucky n hit in the right spot, if it hit ne where else the guy would laugh

[Frenrey]

nothing wrong with accuracy. Its not like its the UFC and your trying to knock the guy out

[GEOSTORM2K]

That is the kind a attitude that is not needed in martial arts. He was accurate not trying to take the man's head off. It's a tourney not UFC where some of them go in there w/ the intention of breaking someone in half and/or taking someone's head off.

[chrisgrunwell]

I agree. That kick was spectacular. Not a tell in sight, and yes it was a good contact, but not so heavy he knocked the guy out. In the majority of karate tournaments you are supposed to control, NOT K.O. your opponent and if you ask me, that was a perfect example of controlled agression, because at that range and speed he could have easily knocked his opponent out. Excellent score.

[JdUkal]

you, my good sir, get a thumbs up.

[wipeoutolympics]

@GEOSTORM2K It's called MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) not "UFC" and the sport has progressed well since the early days. Striking is far more accurate and disciplined nowadays. Please do not use another sport that you do not know that much about as an example of bad technique.

[GEOSTORM2K]

@wipeoutolympics I was talking about the early days of MMA/UFC when they were trying to take each others heads off. They have put safeguards in place for the sport since but I still stand by my previous statement speaking of the early days of it.

[shot87]

judging from the styles, it was probably supposed be a light contact tournament, therefore excessive contact would result in disqualification. Just because someone is not kicking hard does not mean that he cannot kick hard.

[a7x3186]

it's very rare for a spinning hook kick to be weak, i practice them all the time on the back, no matter how soft you throw them, the spinning momentum itself allows the kick to be hard enough to break a mans jaw or simply knock em out. so even if they look soft, they really aren't. that was a hard kick to by the way.

[erniyo112]

are you sure this is a hook cuz this kinda looks like a crescent to me

[krustofogus]

@erniyo112 I am dead positive this is a hook. My hips are displaced, whereas a crescent I would be standing vertically with my hips in a forward alignment.

[noodlez4me]

@krustofogus that was really nice Karate or taekwando?

[moxygen2]

@krustofogus agreed it's a spinning hook since the knee is bent.

where as a crescent kick involves hitting the opponent with the outer blade of your foot (for outside crescent kick) or the instep of your foot (inside crescent kick).

[rodsikth]

@erniyo112 looks nothing like a crescent to me.

+++ this is not a ko.

[hilltop530]

@erniyo112 hook kick is with the heel while the foot is pointed away from the target. crescent kick is with the knife edge of the foot and the toes are pointed straight up in the air.

[Sevv9220]

@erniyo112 It's a hook.

[extrapicklesthanks]

[Morfins1]

WTF tehnic sux so shut up. ITF is more tehnical and effective than wtf.

[mrJealous]

that s karate man!!

[senos64]

it's an 8 second video and from that you conclude that there are nu punches?

[a7x3186]

fuck punching when you have even deadlier weapons such as your legs.

[Utahraptor9]

Well, punches are more natural tools in an adrenaline rush, have more dexterity, are typically slightly faster, and are easier to combo. Besides, kicks can potentially cause you to lose balance especially in a chaotic brawl and do note that with punching you have both feet free to maintain steady forward footwork whereas that rhythm is broken with a kick more or less.

[a7x3186]

yea, well that is true if you are a person who doesn't know how to throw a kick. kicks are just like punchs, you can't just throw one and it be a good kick, it takes rhythym, it takes foot work, it takes everything and then some to throw one. it comes just as easy to throw a kick when your good at it. and it's hard not to throw power behind a kick, where as a punch, it takes alot of work and technique to get those punches powerful.

[Utahraptor9]

I think both you're kicks and punches will get better with practice but at the same time, kicks have INHERENT power and range advantages and punches what I just said. To say that kicks are necesarilly "deadlier" is exaggerating.

[a7x3186]

your right, i meant though a kick is by default more deadlier, although any really good fighter or martial artist can do damage with there punches just as much as kicks, but before your punches are any good, your kicks are already deadly. sorta like say a punch is a .45, and a kick is a 12 gauge shot gun with buck shots. you can point the shotgun anywhere at someone and blow a limb off, where as sometimes for a .45 it depends on where you point it. you see the analogy?

[Utahraptor9]

Ok ya, I agree

[ykinny]

man at 1st i didnt find it funny...as i kept replaying it, jus gets funnier each time!!

[Flashlegz]

The guy that got KO'ed was asking for it, terrible movement.

[susblas]

agreed,....

[yorkshirerepresenter]

skill

[HotKebab]

If your not wearing a proper gi you're going down!

Nice kick!

[Shodan99]

I never get tired of seeing this. Nice Kick! NEWT!
