[Dan86vd]

Very good!! :)

[jasma98]

great skills!!!

[mikeynewman]

nice vid man great job on flexibility and nice kicks :)

[dancingking1250]

i dont understand this is real fighting its consistent with kicks how come nobody fights like this in ufc?

[alriha77]

@dancingking1250 Because in UFC the kicker is more concerned to fall down and the opponent getting on top of him. When you kick you compromise your balance. In K-1/ Muay-Thai/Karate/TKD, falling to the ground is no big worry, because the opponent only gets few points but is not allowed to get on top of you.

[kickboxeruk2008]

Thank you to all those who have left comments, it is very much appreciated and makes all the hard work worth it.

I get alot of personal messages asking for advise on stretching and how to get into the splits so I hope the information i've sent has been of good use.

Thank you again to you all.

[UploaderKid]

Karate Kid aint got shit on him ;) thumbs up ?

[BernieM19051]

I agree with ColonialIM: I have done these kicks in a demo: board breaking, etc. I know this kick, properly timed, would have knock out power. Kickboxeruk is an inspiring martial artist: I am having my Kenpo class watch this amazing martial artist: incredible! Keep up the good work! I am kickboxer1905.

[kickboxeruk2008]

Thank you for your comments, these videos were shot a few years back now but by all means use them in your kempo class. I would very much like to know how it goes so keep me informed. Kickboxeruk2008

[World953]

ótimo

[googler69er]

@kickboxeruk2008 ..So coming from someone who can actually do these kicks, how effective would a trade mark van damme spin kick be in a real fight?

[ColonialM41a]

@googler69er They are effective, the power generated from these kicks is massive. If you can do it quickly without telegraphing what you are about to do. Someone would be silly to get back up after it hits them on the chin. (If they even have that option).

They are showboating kicks but just because they look good does not mean they won't hurt like hell. :). To the poster keep it up mate, you are damn good.

[googler69er]

dude ur fuckin good u know .. good stuff

[lightnessss]

I tried to stretch my legs but i can't without breaking something XD

[djstreak]

Wow. That is impressive. I wish I had those talents.

[escalation888]

you make it look so easy , amazing skill mate

[DenniSTurB]

nice kicks

[ryder1794]

very nice

[blahmeblahblahblah]

Unlike Van Damme, you display a lot of BOTH legs. I'm pretty sure Van Damme can use his left leg too, he's done it a few times but more as a set up to his dominant right leg.

You're a taekwondo guy?

[TsubasaJumonji]

Wow, you're really good. 

[necragelon]

great job my friend!!

[Staticbeats]

wow very good!!!

[SoM6666]

My younger brother started at the same age but after he recieved his black belt, he lost interest in it, competing or improve.

[DALE97DSM]

how old where you, when you first started training.

[kickboxeruk2008]

I starting training around 10 years old

[kickboxeruk2008]

@DALE97DSM I was 11 when I first started properly but have always been into martial arts from the age of 5/6

[almav1979]

[funfightproduction]

[kiljan01]

echt gut

[Hunkola]

This seems like camera tricks or special effects.......

[kickboxeruk2008]

No camera tricks or special effects

[catalyn080]

@Hunkola wow ..what make you say its special effects ...do you see some aliens in the vid ?? ..oh oh ..how about laser beams ? ...man this is hard training ..you will never execute those splits if your only training is commenting sh.it on youtube ...

[Sabirun]

@Hunkola

You are wrong buddy..he is for real. He reminds my my younger age when i also was crazy about Van Dammes kicking style. But now i have lose the world i was in that time.

[OriginalModel1984]

Damn! Amazing skills!!! WOW

[Associazione]

Very Impressive.

[Bladevampirek]

Very good how did u get where u can jump while kicking u practise on trampoline or wat? i need some help jumping ive got alot of flexibility.

[olympicsnow]

Even if you are flexible,you still always have to develop the speed for the kick. For example; with a jumping front kick you have to be fast enough to deliver the kick at the right point in time and on target or else you will already be back on the ground before you have your foot out for the strike. Then you add coordination and timing, because speed with no coordination and timing can be a disaster.Your list of moves that you 'can do in your sleep' must be extensive. So do lots of repetition

[Bladevampirek]

Thank's for the advice i'll try that out , i didnt know what was wrong because i'd be trying to do it it seemed like i cannot get off the ground high enough to do anything , so your advice is just practice practice practice right? till i get hang of it and sooner or later it will come in time.

[MirkoPL]

bravissimo.... very gut kicks... end split...

[VanXei]

Excelente flexibilidad.

[sadjad008]

[kickboxeruk2008]

Thank you I just hope I can keep it up for as long as I can

[280az]

[AndreIreland]

You have very good technique. What style of Karate do you do?. Videos are great. keep up the good work.

[kickboxeruk2008]

Thank you for your comments, the style I studied was a form of shotokan karate which was called sentenashi. However most of the techniques you've seen were all self taught before I even started a club.

[AndreIreland]

Well you did a good Job! well done.

[Tompabej]

Very good!

What did you do to get so flexible? Can you give some tips. ex. how to train to do a split.

I'm a little bit flexible but havn't reached the split yet

[sk8tertater]
