Taekwondo Hook Kick Tutorial (Kwonkicker)

[paengferrer]

Great tutorials! My friend taught me the hook kick by starting with an inside crescent kick. When the kick is mid-air, he told me to twist my body to the side or even face the back so as to perform a hook kick. I find it helps me kick higher and more powerful. (Of course the problem is I can't do the same with a spinning hook kick obviously) Any opinions? It will help a lot. Again, awesome tutorials! Thanks.

[MattBaumann777]

When I do this kick, it ends up being almost like a crescent kick. I find it hard to chamber my knee and do it properly. Are there any tips for that?

[lowchinwen98]

i can get a cramp from that

[MrYoutooblol]

haha! Take this!

*FOOT SLAP*

Opponent: -.-'

[JaLomangino]

I dont know if your going to read this but i cant consistently get my kick above shoulder but i did notice that at the height of your kick you are on your tip toes and i am almost flat footed but i dont think that will get me enough height to get this kick high enough and i dont really feel strain in any tendons or muscles when i throw the kick so i dont think its my flexibility. What do you think im doing wrong?

[darkriskside]

@JaLomangino is not about what you're doing wrong is most about keep practicing, this kick involves a lot of technique, so your muscles have to adapt to the movement, and also the tip toes will help to go higher but its a moment where your stance becomes a little unbalanced too, so you have to practice it to master it

[JaLomangino]

@darkriskside Thank you kind sir. I'll keep practicing.

[SuplmTristan]

tsshh

[cuddlydragons123]

lol spinning "slap" kick, good tutorial, this really helps when it comes to fully understand the kick, thank you!

[123samcp]

3 people got hook kicked in the head

[Rhomeozon]

how many ppl have u killed in a sparring match

[HanoverianHorse]

Great how you slow it down for us. I need go no further when I need help with technique. I was wondering if you (or anyone else) could write down the korean for the numbers 1-10 coz we mostly count in english, but very occasionally we need the korean, and I don't know it...

[BassSmash17]

so it's like slapping that bitch, but harder? :))

[xayfg]

gostei

[bxborijew]

Awesome Kicks...

[SBNMario]

Not teaching the sped up sport kicks. Brilliant!!! Your videos have helped my technique as well as when I teach my students. Kam Sah Ham Nida!

[damamba1000]

kwonkicker vs chuck noris, actualy wood b almost close

[damamba1000]

kwonkicker is my free online teacher!!  thx man

[hoodieguy999]

He is an incredible fighter with a very very advanced arsenal... But he looks like a toothpick! A toothpick on steroids, maybe.

[thevictorstudios]

helped a lot thanks !

[ninjafoxiefox]

the slow motion "shhhh" sounds like a dragon trying to attack.

[SullyMediaProduction]

best vids ever,

i can do almost all of these perfectly now

thanks

[andrebading]

@kwonkicker i cant seem to make my hook kick high like urs. What do you think is the problem?

[sucksatcod]

@andrebading  I cant get that high either. we need to stretch more.

[patdx567]

i like the sound of "shhhhhh" in the slow motions

[ThatNewStreetballer]

@Aznflipstuh9469 Its him breathing after kicking, if you hold your breath your kick has not as much power and you will be winded after a few kicks so its important to breathe with each strike.

[ryansvxr]

@ThatNewStreetballer also it in my opinion helps with power also.. but yes the main reason i make the noise is to keep my breathing and stop me getting tired and winded.

[negaotkd]

nobody takes this kick, is out of action in today's Taekwondo, and its base and front, offers to take many shots.

[negaotkd]

ninguem leva esse chute, esta fora de atuaçao no atual taekwondo, e sua base e frontal, propicia para levar muitos chutes

[taekwonjudoo]

i hope someday i can kick like you

[diegoignasio]

hard -.-

[TheRyuWolf]

@diegoignasio it's actually a very easy kick (if you can kick above your head)

[giorgiv18]

and again thank you for existing

[faithite]

hi there. for back kick, hook kick and spinning hook, is a full split needed to hit your opponents head?

[bentinho]

@faithite No but for all of them your supporting (base) leg must have good flexibility

[RozeAngelix]

Gonna watch more of this tutorials in his playlist so that I have a great guidance for practicing before our Promotion Test + Poomse and Sparring Competitions this May 22 wahahaha,

[MarrickFait]

Hmm, In kyokushin the quivilent to the hook kick is really strong, I would say one of the strongest.

[YMthefirst]

I agree but in savate when you kick the leg (basically the knee) it is more than enough destructional...

Keep with your tutorials!

Cheers ;)

[snake1921]

I remember when I took Tang so Do and had to use this kick to break a board...I can agree it is weaker..but will still break the board..

[superdudes28]

@bwfirth read the friking info you lazy idiot

[superdudes28]

you are my faviorate tkd fighter!

[bwfirth]

what did you put in the base of the Body Opponent Bag? It hardly moves when you kick it, the one I have moves all over the place...

[Thebanditbailey]

You are a super kicker good work excellent hip and waist movement

[AerithMateria]

This kick is damn hard! ._.

[DecadentCross]

[86HairMetal]

Element of surprise is important - throw this kick like a jab & you'll kiss the floor soon enough.

[fightlover187]

[bibikaki1]

awesome tutorial teach:p

[Estebanacc]

very well done tutorial, thanks kwonkicker

[EliasOwnage95]

kwonkicker , would u be able to break 3 thin boards with that kick?

[Sanguinarian13]

arg not tryin to troll or anything but you people should get out and get some formal instruction. tutorials are great to help you improve but if you are trying to learn martial arts (with no MA experience) from YT, you may just end up hurting yourself or others. I know it sounds like a silly line you would hear from someone trying to sell you MA classes at a McDojo, but its entirely true.

And lastly, improve your overall flexibility and GET THE KICK RIGHT before trying to gain "hight"

peace

[Sanguinarian13]

@Sanguinarian13 ie, if you are asking about how to gain height, its obvious that you likely have little knowledge in the way of stretching and martial arts to begin with. which isnt a bad thing I'm not trying to knock anyone, but really there are other things you should be focussing on, the least of which is gaining height in a kick. Form and safety are infinitely more important than height. And if you are that inexperienced you wont want to use the high kick anyways, you'll end up on the mat

[jorisvasten]

i get bad ramp :S

[TheGawsa]

@SignedUpForDeath yeah, here you go. an exercise to strengthen the necessary muscles . Grab a couch pillow. Stand near a doorway or wall. Chamber your kicking leg and place pillow on you ankle (outside). Using the doorway for balance, kick in slow-motion while balancing the pillow on your ankle. Your waist and hip area will get a workout. Be sue to do the full range-of-motion. In slow mo.

[TommoandBrettol]

I get cramp when i do this is it right ?

[EliasOwnage95]

@TommoandBrettol try stretching ur toes a bit before

[taleedbmetad]

@kwonkicker thanx master!

[aiepoposorp]

Nice video, most tips are really very helpful!

[ShagrathVortex]

hey there good job with those tutorials but don't you have some tricks to improve my kicking speed??I'm just wondering:P*bow*

[CeatcodeDelta32]

something to add, if you start to bend your leg right to before it connects, it will make it adds an extra mmph to the kick, you can imagine it like a horizontal axe kick, so to speak.

[bono456593]

@kwonkicker oh cool gonna watch it now :D

[kostasxri]

man you are awesome! i love your videos! teaches me a lot! gotta love the sound of your exhales when in slow motion, hehe! keep it up, post more!

[stifla23]

What are the main and the best streching techniques to improve the hook kick. In other words how to streach to increase the hight of the kick? Thanks ;)

[VexX81]

The nice thing about a lead hook is that if you find yourself in a closed stance, you can sneak it into a persons blind spot, especially if they just missed an attack.

[bassatic]

dude you are an awesome teacher, i have learnd much from your vids. keep up the good work! b^^d

[eaglekvb]

@kwonkicker can you do a tutorial on the continuous roundhouse kicks in tae kwon do. i see that you did it in some of your videos

[ArmourExe]

thank you kwonkicker keep posting up videos!

big fan!

you are literally the best martial art tutorial person on youtube!

[AYung]

Thanks! Very informative!

[Vman9484]

@dardrex777 *Bill* Superfoot Wallace I believe is the name =)

[dardrex777]

@Vman9484 ya I just relized I typed it wrong... opps

[waterswind]

i find that if i do not point my foot i can retract my leg faster to really snap it on contact and get some greater force and speed but i can the risk of hurting the tendon generated from that method as well

[Magyar126]

you should make more comedy vids like the other few you have, great martial arts but your a funny guy to.

[MrGarky]

You are not only a skilled martial artist but also a talented teacher! You explain your the techniques comprehensibly with great detail and you never leave anything out. An unfortunately rare but valuable combination. You have my respect and appreciation for posting these tutorials.

[taleedbmetad]

wow its awsome how ever i just want to ask i learned to use it in short range to hit the back of the head he well not see it coming can that work? comment please

[joeyandrews]

@taleedbmetad ive used it like that in tournement put me ahead on pionts just seconds before the bell lol :)

[taleedbmetad]

@joeyandrews wow then im gonna try to master it more

[kehhvin]

Thank you for posting this. I was really looking forward to this tutorial.

[thaibox07]

absolutley sweet kick dude i feel ashamed mine are so bad i need to practice ill show this to the lads in the dojo thnks

[H0tkebab]

One thing I love to see that Kwon kicker is doing is that he has his hands up the whole time.

Unfortunately this is a rare practice to see amongst Taekwon-do practitioners.

[xxMasoGodxx]

@H0tkebab

Hahha yeah but he said he also does Kickboxing in another video and he's mixing TKD with KB for one style hes teaching :D

[aucteakwondomaster]

@H0tkebab his not the only one, evry tkd practitioners that do kickboxing have hand up guard too.

[H0tkebab]

@aucteakwondomaster

Yes, it almost becomes second nature. The number one thing I hate seeing from any fighter is a lack of guard.

I used to do ITF Taekwon-do and Muay Thai. But I couldn't find a sturdy balance between the two. As ITF was semi contact and Muay Thai was full contact. I left both for Boxing.

[krusher611]

@H0tkebab Totally true, I grew up watching MMA so I keep my arms up and everybody in TKD looks at me funny, lol

[thedevilwearconverse]

Hes right you made a mistake in the description box...

[aucteakwondomaster]

another one already, you create tuto as fast as you kick kwonkicker lol

[albusfr]
