Hook Aerial Tutorial

[nbdylolz]

nothing offensive epic, I really like all your tutorials but imo you should work on it a bit more.

[XTerraStar]

hey man , erm i can do back flips , front flips , 180 front flips , and all this stuff but i cant even do a cart wheel :\ haha wil this affect my ability in the long run ?

[FluxFrPk]

Press 4 for an Aerial!

[Jester7327]

@Epic1 i've been practicing basic aeriel techniques before i get into Capoeira and i'm struggling to get my legs high enough in the air when i push. is there any other way i can practise?

[caGh0s7]

At 0:27 I started thinking "AH MY GOD EPICCC DUCK AND COVER! EAAAARTTHQUAAAKEEE!!!"

[ssannder]

that look more like a b kick but still nice!

[wowggscrub]

i prefer poninting my toes when i do hook kick

[Antin0ob567]

@hamamojo LOL im wordless

[hamamojo]

@Antin0ob567 Dude, sorry about that. That was my nephew. His grammar is not the best, lmao. But he is in fact inspired by your video.

[MrPredatorix]

Epic , please help me. I know you probably won't answer me , but still.

I just can't get the side to side aerial. I look through my legs and all , but my legs are sooo low. My body is down and low but my legs won't go over. Can you tell me how to fix it. I don't understand how to flip them over like an ordinary cartwheel.

[tevnaubshow]

Epic,

Are You Left Or Right Handed. And What Leg Do You Use As Your Strongest?

[MrPredatorix]

his aerial is much better now , in this video it looks like a higher b-kick.

[TheTofuJ]

lol i can do an hook to an aerial but i cant do an aerial lololol weird

[NinjatasticPro]

haha..i love doing this combo...it's one of the only ones i'm good at xD!!

[tomobaba325]

epic your tipps are soo great . i got an hook aerial with your tipps but i must say your aerial don´t look so clean work a little bit on it !:)

thank youuuuu:D

[ekajii]

So this is like your momentum steps with a hook kick instead of a step?

[aznpr0ducti0ns]

what classifies as a landing i.e. i some times land my round off back flip tucks with my legs bent and slightly stabilized with my hands

[killervorag]

fuck i wish i was as flexible as u are..

[devon3925]

i will get this move very fast i am goin to try right now

[devon3925]

ok epic1 i didant kno this move but i'll get it first try becuz i allready kno the side arial or whatever so lol and by i didant kno this move i ment didant kno it even excisted

[MrJustinNera]

actually the modern hook you keep the foot straight as possible so the heel sticks out kid of like an axe head, if you curl it up and if you miss with the heel and hit with the tendons you can rip them and youll be out for a while if you damage them so for practical purposes i would keep my foot as straight as possible.

[nejov1]

So you are into martial arts. I would love to have you as my son's teacher.

[DJsasuship]

hear the way he says butterfly kick in slowmo

[BlacktailAdder35]

i just figured something: doing and learning tricks like these improves your self esteem and relieves stress.

[Musticman426]

getting it down

[Themishahaha]

it looks bad!

[Epic1]

@Themishahaha YOU LOOK BAD!!! =))))

[Themishahaha]

@Epic1 thx

[skateboardindude0123]

@Epic1 eeppppiiccccc =)

[TheEliau123]

@Themishahaha he did a tut for you and you saying bad

[MrChancelol]

@Themishahaha You meant badASS right!?!

[ninjaspartan1]

so lift the non jumping leg??

[khbbs028]

u make it look so easy. i wish i could do that

[totalximmortal23]

why isn't there a toturial on the Aerial it's self? it would be amazingly helpful.

[narutodamp]

cart wheel whitout hands ^^

[aRcTiCiZe1]

this tutorial helps a lot, now I got a new move to show my sparring partner...xD

being aggressive makes your opponent a bit kinda uhm....dunno how to say it...

they don't attack if you're like keeping on attacking them....

[Jona10washere]

Hey my aerial looks more like a butterfly kick!

[DKVIPSEN]

is it easyer to do my arial wuth the combo or for you i mean?:)

[RaceFord777]

dude thats how my aerials look and people tell me that it doesnt look like one!!! >:(

[RenegadeRoller]

ooo ur aerial could be more vertical isntead of a b kick set up try to aproach it from a cart weel set up

[Mattyzz]

I did it but just learning landing and the aerial im just 16 so yea i don't think i can learn it that fast

[fearlesssunrise]

Hey Epic, I always appreciate your straightforward, honest, no bullcrap style to tutorial vids. Thanks for keepin it real bro.

[panther55522]

nice epic very nice

[sandiandi11]

(noy trying to create negitive energy) your aerial is... umm...... a fucked up butterfly kick

[dbfuru]

Man I love the hookaerial, it's like my signature move haha

[demonblue1994]

its a butterfly and not an aerial

[Roy19841123]

OK, when I was practicing this today I kicked my water bottle and smashed a mirror... It sure is a distructive trick to do...

[Overched]

Your Aerial is not Aerial its B Kick :)

[success3421]

because its called a hook aerial!!!!!!!!!ha ha ha !!! there's  SOME crazy people out there !! stay positive great tutorial man !

[aj200820082008]

nice! so basicly its 2 hook kicks... but the second is aerial and it goes over the over leg...gotta try that

[bboydizzy69]

hmm an arieal is straight leggg that was jst a side to side aireall i beliveee

[Magicman996]

Your aerial looks crappy...

[DzjejAar]

Nice tutorial! thnx m8

[JBEVP]

Firstly!!!! Thanks for the combo, lovin it!!!

Secondly!!!! thanks for every tutorial youve done man, basically every trick i know now is thanks to you and a fair bit of training! haha, keep it goin ninja!!!

[churchhillchillin]

he is good but his aerials r sloppy no doubt he can do better but i think i can out trick him ....and even beat him in a sparring match or even fight ...i do shaolin kung fu

[capoeirarox88]

shaolin kung fu does not do too many tricks. I wouldnt think you could outtrick him... epic is one of the best out there. Even though I wouldnt dismiss the possiblity that you can beat him in a fight, you do not even know what his fighting skills are, so you can't suggest that you can beat him.

[xxDeadMemoriesx]

ill answer you dude lol, just do it. dont be scared, just think logic and do it. try on a soft surface at first

[ZirgzaR456]

hey epic how can i get over the fear to do a backflip or a frontflip??

[mukkimmajjomm]

@ZirgzaR456 some tips to front flip... just find a safe place for landing.. (or a gym) and try to make a forward roll... not a para roll ! , just a simple roll forward .. then try to crouch,and do a roll with a bit push up.. this will you get the feeling.. then try with run, remember to push up yourself when jumping grab your knees in the air for rotate. if you fail at first time keep practicing.. i failed for fist time too :D this is a front flip, but i can not give you tips for bflip :S

[BoyShadow98]

Epic you rock

[knurgle1]

That was a great video, thank you very much!

[MultiPkMaster]

Yo, epic, try to do a Capoeira Aerial (Au sem mao), it look waaay better...:D

[888167]

is the au sem mao different from the normal one??

cause i do capoeira and i was wondering why he does the aerial like HITS

[Trickzter75]

THIS is a spin reverse hook kick, aerial... lol :D

[KallanAlexander]

please help Epiv, i can't seem to land on my feet only my back.

[REM658]

epic, plz help me how to get height in aerial, hand movemnt or the kicking leg or sometin'

[Epic1]

LIFT AND PUSH!!!!

[pepehorhae]

@Epic1 man i'm havin a hard time on them moves, it's hard to rotate and release my foot, LOL can u give me some training tips on how to improve?

[MrMaboMan]

@Epic1 some of the most important words you will eve rremember and apply. Lol Lift and Push

[powerofthefro]

@REM658 JUMP HIGH (problem solved), jk man, good luck with it.

[888167]

@REM658 :

try to use your arms more!! the give you almost the same height as you get if you push off your leg...

[Skomega77]

@REM658 dude if your looking for practice into getting this do cartwheels one handed and offset.

[epicparkour0003]

i just cant keep my leg streight

[Epic1]

well... you know your problem. ^_^ to fix it, all u gotta do is keep ur legs straight... aHHhaH

Dont think of pointing ur toes, think of swinging ur legs over with a lotta momentum, that should help. The quicker ur swing is, the less height you need when doing that LIFT N PUSH.

[skatereatsmonster]

Epic..I'm gonna be you one day.

[megaman8100]

@skatereatsmonster If you're going to be Epic, then I guess he's already taken. Can I be you, cause ur epic?

[HSmUiiH]

hes doing a high butterfly kick (side to side aerial)

this is a xma kick

[Epic1]

A BUTTERFLY KICK IS PARALLEL TO THE GROUND!!!! But yes... this is an XMA kick, not the gymnastic arial, but this is the best and quickest way to learn.

[willbo26]

you spelt aerial wrong haha

[LaoBoyLao123]

His arial looks like that becuz hes doing a side to side arial not a gymnastics arial

[dartmaul4]

you arial looks strange you should keep your legs strait(bad english i know)

nice combo

[skullcandy1295]

this aerial is even harder dude

[heartlessAngel25]

yo epic man i was wondering since im in taekwondo and i already kno hook kick but i have trouble witht the butterfly kick do u need to be really flexible to do all these moves you have been giving out as tutorials?

[Epic1]

u dont have to be flexible, but it helps... a LOT

[heartlessAngel25]

thanks man

[gohkko]

how can i build up strength in my arms to do a cart wheel or hand stand? thanks

[4L1AS]

stand with your back to a wall. Go into a handstand by "walking up the wall", so you end up in a handstand against the wall, as straight as possible. This helps you get used to the balancing; your muscles will aim to be in that position, and it also gets you used to holding that position. Get as straight as possible, hold it for a long time, and then try some pushups in that position.

[gohkko]

thanks

[blade10327]

epic i was the kid that wanted to join i just wanted to say i can't im in a military school now peace

[DanielMedaris]

i seen must of ur tutorial and lol i wish was ur partner

[DarktalonX]

Your tutorials are great, keep up the great work man.

[itzyoboiteddy]

kinda duz..aint ur legz soppuse to be str8?

[Epic1]

when ur performing or doing a demo, that helps.

[vandel1993traceur]

your aerial looks like a b kick..

[Urbantricks]

its definitely not like a b-kick... torso is still perpendicular to the ground. just a really bent-leg aerial

[Epic1]

it's the same princicple, but vertical

[darkness442003]

I finally got the kick down epic. For some strange reason i added a snap while i was in the air. It felt natural for some reason, right now my goal is to this from an ordinary hook kick. Thank you epic this kick is now apart of my kicking arsenal, i just have to practice, practice, practice

[Epic1]

alright man good stuff, adding a snap makes it look cleaner, shows more control... get that on vid I wanna see

[darkness442003]

Soon as i can my home boy to record it i will get him to send it to you, it be a while

[leavexmexalone14]

you think im ready to do this??

[darkness442003]

I practice this kick twice yesterday, I see i have to keep in mind the cartwheel, But i am doing the butterfly kick with it. My goal is to do it like epic, however this is a great kick to have in my Kung-fu arsenal

[legslikelightning]

Ive not attempted this one yet but you explained it well. Ill try it out tonight when im in class.

[xHelpNotx]

sweet.

[d3c4y3d]

awsum vid dude. u just keep em on coming don't you. don't beleive i would be anywhere near where i am atm with out ur inspiration mate.

keep up the great work and trick safe

[leavexmexalone14]

OMG EPIC I FOUND SOMTHING I CAN ACUALLY ATTEMPT WITHOUT KILLING MYSELF.. i can spin like tht and do a cartwheel.. i may not land it right or all but least i can attempt it without hurting myself to bad.. ill tape my attempt for u..

[E4tMyH0lySh1t]

gr8 vid man, i love all your posts, you and ya buddies r gr8 trickers...

[Petrifilms]

It's Aerial not the little mermaid.

Still good combo! This really gets fluid later on if you practice it.

[akaCharlieG]
