[MrSinner4ever]

big sh** i'm ared belt, i'm 13 and i've been doing martial arts sice i'm 5, if you want to learn go to your dojo.

[vestigialspirit]

i need slow-mo for this vid!

[JcZorro3000]

@SofieroBeer it depends, When you kick are you extending your leg out to the target?

[SofieroBeer]

Im sure none of you will read this

But i am a 17 year old guy from sweden

And i love sports like this, but there is one problem with me that i really hate

I have knock knees and when i make a sort of a mma kick... It looks so ugly and i hate it

I want my legs to be straight but there is nothing i can do about it

Please help me. Give me some tip on how i can fix my legs with just training and stretching

Or maybe just how i can make my knees stronger

Please, A dissatisfied guy from sweden!

[julianricom]

hes not acrually kicking in the last spin hes only passing his leg over his knee, there is no kick...

[HERCOthumbpick]

ohhhhh thats what im sopposed to do i can do all that but cant land on the leg im kicking on :D

[craigjp444]

It is an amazing kick and is a tea kwon do kick for the few saying it's not martial arts have mixed backgrounds so moves are similar and it's show but could be used in a fight if timed right iv got a friend iv seen use it very effectively practical no but it did work all the best keep safe

[Kodamin]

OK. I thought the Taekwondo's version of the 540 kick was always a reverse kick, meaning the impact is on your heel or bottom of the foot

[frrface]

how come my master hasnt taught this 2 me yet? im red belt btw....what belt grade do you learn this move?

[cheesemonkey1990]

@frrface practically, it does not do much in a fight, on the mat or the street, it is more of an exhibition kick, stick to the basics and ull be okay.

[Computerobssed]

@frrface yeah! oh in wich belt they teach you how to make flying kicks? and back flips?

[lovesprayz]

@frrface im a red belt too.. but i think, we learn this whn we're black belt..

[xXxSinthoxXx]

@frrface haha not everyone knows how to do it ^^

[KatsumotoYamada]

he is also a student, give him a break. everyone must go through that amateur stage. even Bruce Lee went through it. So just watch the video to learn something and stop typing the useless comments.

[AXE5112]

look at the top comments..... think their better than him......

[RandomAccount486]

UGH , I GIVE UP !

[thiefguy852]

Can chubby guys do 540?

[oFIRESoHURTo]

@thiefguy852 If they train hard enough yea i think they could



[theblackpopefromhell]

@thiefguy852

i think they don't

because i've never seen a very muscular guy or a chubby guy perform such a move(unles jean claude vandamme but thats a midget he's only 1m57 or somethin)

only guys between 120 and 135 pounds because gravity in jumping is such an isue

the less you weight the more you can train to jump higher the longer air time you get to perform this fancy moves

would i reconmend it to in battles : no

does this works in fights : no ;)

[theromeo1690]

[sk8erboi8484]

@theromeo1690 It is very much Taekwondo. Its more a a flashy kick thats useless but still cool. (: Called a tiger kick where i come from.

[sarangan3]

i like it

[hireplas]

who gives a fuck if its a 540 or not, no matter what its called if it hits you it WILL hurt

[jannesiera]

@hireplas Lift your arm. When he falls with his face to the ground, kick him in the nuts. Problem solved.

[MESSER8989]

I stopped watching when you said you were from expertvillage.

[Dinoenthusiastguy]

@MESSER8989 Big mistake! He's one of the few really good expertvillage MA instructors.

[deathtmz]

that's not a 540 -___-;; its bolley kick.

[Angelbikost]

its not a tkd move

its a tricking 540

understand that

[TheColbyolover]

I really want to do this but I CAN'T :'(

[waroholy]

Not bad, but i will Stick hardly to Kim son Quang Kung Fu. Witch Have won over all others all time :) Except the ''New kung fu'' Witch suck balls. The Old KIm son quang is so much better, witch is in norway, and is held by Dang Tieu diep

[LethalGunner99]

holly man how do these people jump so friken high man i wish that was me its so sick and ya i know its not a 540

[AnGobh]

@LethalGunner99 Flexibility and practicing basic jumping kicks. That is the secret to getting height on jumps: The whole body moves to clear an obstacle (to do this you need flexibility). So, stretch stretch stretch. When you can kick your head height and hold it there, then start to add jumps into it, then you should be able to do this and more. Hope this helps.  : )

[KingTrangiee]

that aint a 540 kick == i do taekwondo myself and i can see that , that aint a 540 kick. thats a 360 jumping spinning roundhouse kick:L but good try

[MrNinjaman69]

old dude got air

[purebeach1]

really estetic ;)

[pyttelindberg]

i live in sweden i got the green belt and i got really sick.. and now i am to lazy to start again any tips for me ? and i really wanna learn 540 ;O

[TheNguyenboi]

@pyttelindberg Uh I don't know, start again?

[REDSCOUT3]

I want to take taekwondo, but I already take Karate :D But still I want to improve more kicking techniques

[SachikoSCB]

i REALLY need help on my 540 kick....ive been working on it for months and have made almost no progression whatsoever. ive never been able to keep my non kicking leg in the air while my kicking leg is coming over (or trying to :P) and my non kicking leg always lands back on the ground before i can get my kicking leg around at all....not sure why its so hard for me to fix what im doing wrong, so far i havent heard of anyone facing the same problem, so any (ANY) help at all is appreciated

[stoneagedinosaur]

Neat tutorial - nicely explained - 540 / 360 - who cares? Nice kick to add to the repertoire

[ras1240]

there are 2 different kinds cuz this is 540 round house, 540 heel is hard too. but i'll try this

[xmadsonx]

Well i don't know the name of this kick in Wushu, Ballet or Hip-Hop, but in TAEKWONDO it's called butterfly kick (american name) and it's a 360º kick, because in Taekwondo we count angles properly. Start to count when you jump and stop when you kick... just pay attention to the move, the guy start with right leg in front, do a whole spin (360º) and kick... it doens't matter how many spins he does BEFORE the jump or AFTER the kick, they won't count.

Retired 5º Dan TKD instructor.

[Eshton1992]

@xmadsonx No man.

In taekwondo it's called a bolley kick.

A butterfly kick is totally something else.

[bernadettesalagoste]

TAE

[houstoncambodia]

thats a 360 lol

Look up 540 kick

there are three kicks involved ;)

[guttus25]

omg that aint Taekwondo, cuz ur pants are black!

[Calvin830515]

@guttus25 lol instructors can wear black pants..

[MackenzieMichael]

Very cool! I wouldn't bother though unless you are in it for show. Any Martial Artist worth their salt knows that aerials are always a bad idea! Even as a finishing move, you sacrifice footing and control. Plus as a rule Martial Artists are expected to attempt 3 things during a fight. 1. Kick. 2. Block. 3. Attempt a crazy ill-fated aerial that they have little chance of actually landing.

[MackenzieMichael]

My advice, keep kicks waist level and go balls out on elbows and punches and learn to fight on the ground. Because 9 times out of 10, that's were the fight will end up!

[russiancaptain12]

this is not 540 540 is when you do a ballai kick then do a spinning hook at the same time, this kick called ballai or something like that

[narutosurvivor111]

NOt really helpful >>

[Ghgh335owns]

k? k? k?

[MrNerf97]

taekwondo is the best its awsome

[Aldind2x]

All that force on the leg - why not finish the kick earlier and easy up the landing.

[djmeo]

thats a 360!! you just continue the motion after kick!! sory but thats a fact!

[karazh]

a three times black belt would never pull up his sleeves...

[russiancaptain12]

@karazh yes they would in america but not anywhere else

[stephuhhknee128]

Accually that's a tornado kick the first one was a jumping turn-around round house kick

[rjperket]

its a 540 because of the end. he doesnt spin before he does the kick its after were the 540 differs from the 360. notice that his front foot, the kicking foot, lands in the back. thus it is more than a 360...

[BrandonTaekwondo]

that is definately not a 720-it is a 540 just like the title says. I do not know anyone that would call that a 540

[ofomatheblackbelt]

that could break a jaw

[krnguy55]

that was not a 540~ that was 360

[alexl0923]

....a 360 is 1 turn around......this one is a turn and a half.....thus it is a 540

[unknowncritic1]

sure mabye it isent a proper 540 but in his other vids he does it rly well

[Smokeystyle]

uh guys just cut him some slack.

sure its not a FULL 540 degree kick taekwondo kick but the challenge of a 540 is to jump with your kicking leg,kicking with it then landing on it.

im sure this guy could do others if he just modified his kick.

[v01d4d3pt]

yeah that makes sense. This looks like a normal crescent kick to me. Maybe he could do combos, or that double kick that in WTF brown or blue belts do really well. It's like a reverse crescent to crescent jumping kick. Of course that really isn't the name I think.

[alexl0923]

actually our Doubles, triples and quads start off alot of combos... like i would do a quad to get 3 or 4 four points if im good then go for the knockout with the 540...but it is a 540 lol i hate this controversy between Americans vs the rest of the Tae kwon do world

[ThatAznGuy0]

thats bolley kick

[stilf1234]

im a black b to thats a 360

[cubaricanconch]

um if anyone is there and i think most of u r in tae kwon do so um im testin tomrw and i need to know wat a hair throw is and a mountain strike and wat a hair throw is someone pleassssssssse help

[simbaG0purr]

thats was not a 540....that is merly a modified tornado or 360...you have to spin on more time.....

[bluebelt224]

thats a fucking 720 moron

[simbaG0purr]

yeah thats why the ppl labeled it 540.

dumbass! my blck blt boyfriend does the 540 and its like he said our tkd master confirmed it its a 360 stupid shit!

[bluebelt224]

oh so you're a women, sorry

[simbaG0purr]

what are you saying im in tkd too!

and just cause im a woman doesnt mean i dont know.

sexist hmm.

[bluebelt224]

no no no no not at all, i mean i didn't knw you were a woman, and it doesn't matter what ever sex you are, women and men together can practice

[alexl0923]

no offense in this next statement....but....WHY THE HELL DO YOU AMERICANS NEED TO BE DIFFERENT FROM THE REST OF THE WORLD WITH EVERYTHING?!?!?! lol

[alexl0923]

actually the koreans have all three the 360 is normally low but can be thrown high...the other two are high section surprise kicks that are thrown when the opponent is charging lol i cant do that....the 720 however is not normally used in fight today they are more or less just for show IE: board breaking:)...but either i have a love for this sport

[alexl0923]

slow it down and show me the extra spin dip-shit

[bluebelt224]

im talking to friggin kalub, i was talking to someone else so fuck you and read around before you mouthin off to people you dont fucking know fucker, oh and dip-shit

[bluebelt224]

and this comment is for all the dumbasses who thought i was taliking to kalub

[bluebelt224]

or caleb

[alexl0923]

ok....so you are saying....that this Caleb guy.....is going to look specifically at YOUR COMMENT on this video....among...56 comments .... now considering this isn't his account i think you are wasting your "valuable " time ...if you don't know shit get it out of your mouth... go back and watch the video again you blue-belted fuck....

[phuongness]

I think this kick is a 360 in korean terms, and that is how things should be calculated since it's their art. But since Americans count it as 540, you could see the 540 title for reference sake. I made a mistake earlier and clarified for the wrong thing it should be "540 and 360" not "720 and 540" The 720 american / 540 korean would be done if this guy hook kicked with left leg before landing on the right like he did on this video.

[kickzntrickz]

not necessarily, i was trained by a korean who is a 7th degree blackbelt completely trained in korea before he moved to america and he called this a 540 tornado kick!

[phuongness]

Maybe he was noticed that that was what it was called here, and referenced it so the majority people would understand. You can't single out one person to base your judgement on. Ask the rest of the natives to see what it is called.

[kickzntrickz]

i don't know what it's called there, but all the koreans i talk to around here call it a 540. and atleast half of the koreans i know did grow up in korea.

[phuongness]

It makes natural sense. Since they live in America now, they use the system that is widely accepted here. If you ask them their weight, they would tell you it in pounds and not kilos. Likewise, if you go to Korea, you would convert your weight into kilos so they can understand better. I'm not trying to debunk anything here, I'm just letting you know. Take a look at some of the videos of national team members from Korea if you're curious.

[kickzntrickz]

ok makes since, and likewise i wasn't trying to debunk you either, sorry if it seemed that way bro.

[RandomAsiansFan]

Korea Hapkido?

[bluebelt224]

im sure i know more bout tkd than you concidering i actually am in tkd and am to be a black belt in friggin 4 months so fuck you alexl0923, dont go talkin shit to peole you dont fucking know

[alexl0923]

ok....Dakota you fat ass ignorant American fuck do some fucking research...I AM A BLACK BELT and have been so for 2 years i could have been in training for my 3rd right now but i choose not to...i competed in the 2007 international Tae Kwon Do championship i have 6 years of experience...you....are still a colored belt and should learn about respecting your superior ranks i'm not saying a black belt is never wrong by any means but i am saying that you should calm the fuck down and STFU! thank you

[bluebelt224]

alright, im sorry about that, its just ya know that felling ya get when you feel really aggitated, well sometimes thats how i get, and sorry about all the things i said i had no call

[alexl0923]

cool beans

[bluebelt224]

or im not talking to caleb, sorry about that mishap

[stuntboys10001]

my coach shane whiteway is the best and thats not how u do it

[frrface]

this isnt that hard as it looks after you practice it a cuple of times

[assalot73]

that looks more like a trick 540, a tkd 540 as i was taught, you have to extend your kick forward not up as to strike the opponent

[laffitout102]

my coach is a third degree lol

[citygrlmh408]

that doesnt look like a tkd 540 kick

[askdjajsdn]

this is not a taekwondo kick. at least not if you practice the traditional taekwondo after kwon jae hwa. and i suspect that no WTF school would teach you this as tkd...

but it shows a high level of training and i bow my head in respect for your skill.

[qimie9]

isn't it tornado kick??

[sabinoson]

Very sweet! Ver y good technique on his part.

[himosonnisaatana]

k! :)

[babzki700]

asian s kick

[electricmanja]

you must have your crescent kick k? or your round kick k? k? k? k? k?

[flumpj]

omg ur a retard its a 540 he lands on the kicking leg this isnt wushu if thats what ur thinking

[Emotionaldinosaur]

@flumpj

You're right.... if it was only a 360 he would have landed on the leg he wasnt kicking with.

He did a one and a half rotations because his kicking leg started at the back, whipped around and then landed on it which then become the front leg in the opposite stance.

:)

[SonySK2]

@flumpj  you are A retard .. this is a 360 !

[Toniipp]

@SonySK2 this is a 'cheat 540' ur thinking of a 'cheat 720'

[MRxLORD]

thank you very nice****5

[TKDVidsBoy85]

dude it looks like a 360

[heyheyheyyep]

ahah try to do that. that's different. and more hard.

[13thSentinel]

It actually is a 360. check taekwonmedia's video.

[heyheyheyyep]

it's a tornado kick landed with the kicking leg.

[13thSentinel]

I know.

[bz198bz]

hey do you need a lot of hight for a 540?

[bfmyac]

well you need some height, i can do it but not alot of height, but i kick really fast which helps, but height makes the kick look better

[ImNotAznOrAmI]

my friend did a 540 volley kick he was lucky b/c his sis was taping it

[CarKids]

real nice videos but... couldt u have just made one LONG video instead of like 10 short ones?

[SongXiii]

He sure could have, but this is a smarter way to teach imo. He's breaking everything down, step by step, prereq by prereq. If you really wanna learn how to master your 540 you'll watch all of the videos, and drill each one. Instead of, watching the actual 540 at the end and trying to MIMICK it. You don't really learn anything by skipping the basics. It will haunt u in the end. :)

[NeverBeenCool]

thats not freakin 540

[CarKids]

yes it is a "540 kick" but it's real name is the "volley" or "bolley" kick (depending on how you pronounce it

[remixbomfunk]

if you were any smart you would have been cool

[UncleRed1234567]

lol

[drako1228]

hey , anyone intested in talking about taekwondo?msg me..i do tkd too..not a blackbelt though.

[eshton1234]

hahaha so am i =)
