HerpDerp I'm cool, because I argue on youtube, which obviously proves I get more women than you hurr durr. Instead of wasting that energy on arguing on the internet, why not go outside and train?.

[kaylaambriana]

omg you are so skinny!

seriously? how much do you weigh? is it because you are small that you can do these so easily? 

[TheBrainialDrive]

@kaylaambriana lol no, think dedication is the key this :p

[thatoneguyy100]

hey epic can you do a tutorial on a tornado kick

[thatoneguyy100]

hey epic can you do a tutorial on a tornado kick

[IceDragonsify]

3 years of 4 hours 5days a week(now 4 years) will rape 10 years of tkd, if u guys wanna get ur ass kicked in the street, ring, do tkd, if u wanna win be dominant do mma( muay tai, boxing, kick boxing, jiu jitsu, and mma) tkd is for the soft in 4 eyars i have vs 10 tkd black belts and none of them even made it through the first round they run at me wiht their little bch kick, while i throw 1 shin kick they sit, or punch them it so fun and easy knocking out a tkd person it should be banned. unfair

[inertiabenders]

@IceDragonsify you know a ton a tkd kicks are banned from mma cause their so deadly? hahaha even a tornado kick is banned you two are both pretty dumb to be honest because its not about you fighting style its about the person fighting. you two should have learned that. looks like you two learned how to fight with out learning what your doing. eather bad teacher or bad student.

[MrYaoiMonster]

@inertiabenders "No such thing as bad student. Only bad teacher."

[IceDragonsify]

@MrYaoiMonster k

[inertiabenders]

@MrYaoiMonster very true. i stand corrected. thank you (:

[MrYaoiMonster]

@inertiabenders The funny part is that quote is from "The Karate Kid" xD Mr. Miyagi is still right though.

[mcgelz]

@IceDragonsify Seriously? Why do you think its cool to bash on different styles of martial arts? Like youre really gonna come on here and try to brag and prove your self on here? okay hot shot than post a vid of your so called 3 years of experience.. Oh and a TRUE martial artist wont just come on here and brag about their skills and experiences they had in the martial arts. Not that you know any of that because I bet you do MMA cause you just want to hurt people and use it for the wrong reasons

[kingtrangieez]

that's a 360 spin kick, make a tutorial on a 540 SPIN kick.

[ac120479]

Aladdin?

[IAint2Legit]

@6o22iR Think you need a pair of glasses

[Koolhwip97]

what a stud

[Kylaro215]

i love the BG sounds heeeeeewkhhehkweewheeeeeeew LOL

[goofey708]

Hey Epic , O.0 how many steps can you run up a wall ??

[Earlhans111]

i keep doing a tornado instead. :((

[xankustu]

Yea, all spinning mid-air kicks are impractical in a real fight but it is very visually impressive. How long did it take you to master the 540? I've been practicing for about 4 to 5 months on this same kick and I have trouble keeping my back straight. You land very smoothly while I land with a large thump that shakes the house/studio/dojo. It's been bothering me, got any advice?

[IceDragonsify]

takes you a few seconds to wind up for the kick takes me 1/3 of a second to throw a knockout hit... do the math

[ahrims221]

@IceDragonsify yeah yeah dude he never said it was for real life fighting so stop bitching. plus 3 years of expirience aint that much..

[IceDragonsify]

@ahrims221 ur an idiot feg, now 4 years of 4-5 hours 5days a week is alot of xp u dumb besides he pme dme on u tube saying that this mvoe was lethal in a street fit, boxing ring, or mma fite and that bs sht, so stfu since u dont know sht an ur inloved either so fuck off kid.

[ahrims221]

@IceDragonsify learn to write first of all u retard. nobody in here gives a shit about your imaginary black belt in taekwondo and your 3 years of expirience aww 3 years hahaha you're just getting started faggot stop pretending ur a jock cuz ur a pussy. now get back to school dumbfuck

[IceDragonsify]

@ahrims221 you are a dumb fucking fagget kid, only fucking retarts seize the oppurtunity to insult someone when they make an honest mistake when spelling kid your like fucking 10? while in im uft(University of toronto) u fucking dumbshit get you facts straight, and go work your bitch arms you dumb fagget. and yes 4 years of of 5 days a week 5 hours every for MMA IS alot of xp i u dun think then u should go see a doctor and get your fucking head checked you dumb ugly fagget.

[IceDragonsify]

GET A DICK YOU FAGGET. YOU ARE THE WORST PATHOLOGICAL LIER YOU CAN CONVINCE WHAT EVER BULLSHIT YOU, HONESTLY WHATEVER MAKES SLEEP BETTER AT NIGHT YOU GAY FAGGOT.

[ahrims221]

@IceDragonsify holy shit i see you're obbssesed with the word faggot, right faggot? and no 4 years aint nothing lol im sure my sister can kick your ass in 2 secs cuz you're a QUEER. hahaha still with the spelling mistakes fucking retard. and UFT= UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO? its U of T lol see, you're RETARD. now get back to your mom's basement ''IceDragonsify'' lmao you're a virgin for sure

[IceDragonsify]

@ahrims221 its the same shit u fucking idiot what are 50 year old virgin get dick fagget?, only an incompetent fool such as urself would reap at that chance, do u have down syndrome? or are u just seriously fucked in the head? why dont u get off your fast ass and go fk some bchs? oh yeah u cant they probably look at ur fagget face and small piece and laugh. you little bch. you sure talk tough for a little bitch fagget, strong words bitch arms kid.

[IceDragonsify]

@IceDragonsify work your bitch arms fagget, i get pussy every night expecially your moms u fucking 13year old kid.

[IceDragonsify]

wtf do u have 4 years of sucking dick xp? idiot? get to school instead of skipping dumb fuck.

[ahrims221]

@IceDragonsify Fuck you pussy, im tired of this shit, go get laid worthless prick i wont be answering to this shit anymore

[IceDragonsify]

u can argue all you but try it in a street and see what happen if u suceed massive respects cause i sure hell know that i wouldnt be able to that, unless my opponent cannot fight for sht.

[IceDragonsify]

i have 3 years of expirience in muay tai, boxing , jiu jitsu, and im also a black belt in tkd i have done many competition and i cna tell you that a kick like that will only get your ass kicked before u can even set up for the kick , u would get rushed and dropped wiht knees and elbows within seconds i guarentee it 100% its for show not real life scenario combat fighting, btw ( i qualified for canadian forces special operations training) im 22 and i do mma 4 times a week for 4-5 hours.

[JMRG2992]

@IceDragonsify heh do you know what its to recive a kick on the face ? LOL. this one will take your head and smash it into the ground

[Kylaro215]

@JMRG2992 Good luck if it got blocked your penis will be split in two.. :P

[JMRG2992]

@Kylaro215 hehe, thats why we do stretch, so our penis can get more flexible than normal ones hhaaha xD

[Kylaro215]

@JMRG2992 LOL!

[DjSideFire]

hey i have a question i get the motion down but my kick never expands out all the way it always bends a little when i kick any solutions?

[LoneTailProductions]

Do you still do tutorials Epic? :o

[DawgFL]

a little tip: when you bring your non kicking knee up to spin and kick, make sure you are jumping up and not intentionally spinning, you will lose a lot of height, just bring the knee up and you will naturally spin!

[theycallmebanana022]

well at least he lives up to his username =)

[MrPrimetime4004]

How do i keep my none kicking foot in the air longer

[fallllenangel]

most awesome kick and most awesome kicker. you epic, are just godlike. i wish and hope i can do that kick soon

[crazyanimester]

i cant kick without the supporting leg landing 1st

[Neku2]

i can do this but when i try and do it and land on the kicking foot first i face plant.

[chikitin1546]

are you asian

[randikayanthony]

holy amazing. i keep trying and failing in a ridiculous way.

[erab1996]

for all of you complaining about your weight, i have a friend who is pretty fat and can flip like hell!

[cage000100]

that shit was wicked!!!

[21isTuAN]

any chance that it might cause you to land on ur face ?

or dislocate things ?

[21isTuAN]

any chance that it might cause you to land on ur face ?

or dislocate things ?

[woodlandsparkour]

@21isTuAN if you land on your face, I'd be impressed xD

there's always the chance of injury. With anything you do. You just gotta control it by learning the basics :)

[buzzcutrocks]

Yah....my friend, 2nd degree blackbelt tried teaching me(self proclaimed ninja) this. And I broke my nivecular scaphoid doing it....sad face

[KingEliCyrus]

Can someone plz help...whenevr i try this i always land on me left foot...i kick with my right...why does this happen?

[KingEliCyrus]

Ohhhhh so in total its just more detailed version of the tornado kick?

[bigdaddylovelace]

i like how you do it like 10 times... it seriously helps

[XxMRPWN4G3xX]

@TheMichigunner im also 14 last year i weighted about 145 . What i did was just join sports like cross country and track and field. i weight about 125 now im not skinny but but im average. lol im 5'2

[ThePhenomMan]

Hay @Epic1

U know that webster correction video you made, that goes more in depth? Can you please make one for this?

[NanoWazon]

Thanks for this tutorial

[voerhierjenaamin]

0:04 UFO!!! lol

[DX4you1]

its looks like rise

[baddante4life]

damn , you're not normal ,are you ??!

[rubixcubesolve]

your amazing

[dashballer]

5'6 54 kilos. yeah i can do that :) but i wanna make my fats as a muscle

[MrAdamdula]

@Epic1 @hoamTaeKwonDo Should i bend my leg coming around for the kick??? and thanks man

[hoamTaeKwonDo]

@MrAdamdula well if you look at the video here the leg does bend, i dont think it matters ,im a really short girl so bending my leg in the beginning seems to add more momentum when my hips close as leg straightens out, making me able to land more efficiently because i cant jump too high. then again you might not need to

[MrAdamdula]

@Epic1 @hoamTaeKwonDo Should i bend my leg coming around for the kick???

[hoamTaeKwonDo]

@Epic1 help meeee, so i started this kick off on the trampoline, now i can perform a decent 540 and land it with minimal bounce, but i freak out every time im about to do it on the floor, any tips on transitioning from the trampoline to ground?

[PaulRockey]

You have a sick 540, dude.

[MrAdamdula]

Like i've tried this a bunch of times its like i cant get my leg there fast enough to land any tips???

[hoamTaeKwonDo]

@MrAdamdula you are not landing it because either your kick is not fast enough, you are not high enough , or both. for speed of kick CLOSE your hips and whip your leg through when you are kicking, height: try and THRUST that knee up as HIGH as possible.. a drill you can do: put your kicking leg on the ground and lift your other leg slightly off the ground, then try and bring your kicking leg over and land in the 540 fashion, when you can do that, you should be able to land a 540. :D good luck!

[luxioz]

Do you have a stretching lessons before doing this?

[visualprogrammer]

FALCON KICK!!!!! 1:59 that was so epic

[MrPyroguy1]

so what kind of martial art are you training or is it just parkour?

[mudkipzuzu]

@MrPyroguy1 i think its called martial arts tricking, but epic also teaches some parkour, you can find them on his channel

[kaashoofd000]

hahahh he just wears the same pants on every video of him

[Cokemaple]

"I'm epic, thank u" (turns around). haha that is truly how u end a tutorial! :P

[gundammage1]

@MrWalshy not every martial arts does the same kicks/motions per name.... This is like its own little deal... Tricking as the people said earlier all people that do tricking recognize it as that ;) just practice have fun and we ALL live happily ever after wit our ninja skillz

[Vixi1205]

Epic i have 1 question for ya! How many chicks want you? must be an insanely high number. Lol anyways great tut think ima go try it out :P

[PKJiszle]

the last one was almost a sideswipe.. EPIC lives up to his name!

[TheSuperman128]

can i do this cause im 8

[lilcummy]

@TheSuperman128 it's likely it's easier because you're naturally more flexible because of younger age

[garret664]

hey. if anyone can cork id really appreciate some advice im trying to learn how. i got my rotations down pretty gud. except my problem is i rotate like 2 or 3 times per attempt and can never find the ground. when i tried decreasing my rotation speed i jus barely spinned very slowly and hit the ground... and im only gettn bout a little bit of under average cork height. reason im commenting on this vid, is cuz on corkscrew tutorial comments are disabled :l help??

[mcdamike]

I been trying to do a 540, but can't land on the same foot, so I m only doing a tornado kick.

[duke55431]

that was good you are really good at that!!!!!!!

[lilray2310]

cool, i tried 2 do it but i cant

[bdpchamp]

LOL imagine someone gettin kicked in the face by this XD

[6Toribash6]

im little but i need learning this :D

[TheEnglishBritishGuy]

sorry, downloaded this one too :./

[fallllenangel]

this looks so damn amazing, epic!

when i try it its more like a "strange" 360(tornado kick)

i still land on the wrong foot, i thinki dont have enough speed. any tips?

[davinci324]

yo me nd my cuzzin r tryin to do dat but if we kick wiff our right foot wat leg do u kick wiff if ur right leg is bac????

[jayster141]

GOT IT WOOOO XD

[javierandresmendez]

sabe

[wdm60]

EPIC ROCKS/RULES AT TEAKWANDO OH YEA THATS RIGHT I TAKE TEAKWANDO TO.

[Haxranitar]

After 12 fails I got it!

[cephalik1]

you have a very nice 540 dude! sometimes i get it rela nice, somedays i kick low. I'm realizing something now that I see your slow mo....the key to getting height is to not lose the momentum from your winding up correct? and of course obviously going off your toe and getting your knee up.....

[CARAHMELL]

20 people are fat so they cant do this shit

either that or they are physically retarded.

like if you agree

[TheSpawntanious]

Anyone notice the little kids playing in the background

?

[Sk1ll3d1337]

Epic1, I have a question: I have a small belly :P (14yrsold 78kilo) can I do this kick also?

[Epic1]

@Sk1ll3d1337 height, weight, age, DOES NOT MATTER... now go play.

[CtrlBotCentral]

@Epic1 Fantastic tutorials. Love how you end them with "That's how you do the xxxx, 'I'm epic', Thank you."

xD

[DigitalGunStudios]

@Epic1 Epic1, i have 2 questions 1: can you please make a tornado kick tutorial? 2: i don't know much about you so is Epic your real name? if so that is epic

[DTEProductions1]

@DigitalGunStudios i think im sure not sure but i think he has a tornado kick tutorial and his real name is kyle mendoza :)

[Keither09]

@Epic1 Epic1, I have a question: i have a big black dick :P (W:5inch L:almost 13inch) can I do this kick also?

[TheMichigunner]

@Epic1 Epic1 I know how you said height, weight, age, DOES NOT MATTER... but it's very unfortunate that I weight 134 lbs and am 4'5. Can you make a tutorial for losing about 65 lbs plz :D?

[Epic1]

@TheMichigunner i weigh 174 and im 6ft tall... NO EXCUSES!!!!

[AustinEatsRamen]

@Epic1 I weigh 175.4 and I'm 6'2"

What are dem odds? Great tutorials btw.

[123Steaky]

@Epic1 I love No Excuses, that guy is a boss.

[Kylaro215]

@Epic1 seriously 6 ft? wow! so i still have a chance! XD

[dogbite4796]

@TheMichigunner Ya dude u should have no problems i am 210 5'9 and i can do this trick.

[KingEliCyrus]

@Epic1 Uhmm where should i practice this?in a field? or backyard...it has no grass?where?shud i?

[GamingDudez12]

@Sk1ll3d1337 Can I tell you something, you are heavier than me and I'm 10stone/140lbs/60kg, rather unfit and the same age as you.

[EliasOwnage95]

@Sk1ll3d1337 LMAO ARE YOU 14 YEAR OLD AND WEIGH 78 KILO. I'm 16 and i weigh 46 kilo................ you are fat man xD

[lilcummy]

@EliasOwnage95 16 and you weigh 46 kilo?? you got dysentery or something

[Sk1ll3d1337]

@EliasOwnage95 Dude are you fucking serious? I'm no hater or something but then you must be small as hell. Ur weight must be around 60.

[EliasOwnage95]

@Sk1ll3d1337 LOL must?? are you seriously bored or just stupid

[Sk1ll3d1337]

@EliasOwnage95 Read the second sentence dude, calm down.

[TheObnoxiousTroll]

@Sk1ll3d1337 lol im the same you should of seen how it turned out the first time i did a back flip on a trampoline 80 kilos squathing my neck -.-

[NgoSignal]

"I'm epic, thank you" haha

[broMac100]

Epic Bro =P

[joshlim2nddegree]

Damn u got some serious air on that 540

[GoNZoRosO1]

are you always using that pants? i watch 2 of your video but still the same pants... lol.. Xp

[withoutreasonorrhyme]

Man, I almost had this kick, I have to keep working... it's not easy (though you make it look easy!)

I always fall at the end like you mentioned, kind of landing on one knee.

[FreeToB3lieve]

Hey Epic, i have been trying to do a 540 kick but i jus cant get all the way around.Any tips? I have the tornado kick down i just dont know what im doing wrong.

[MrWalshy93]

Although this is more of a show kick than a fighting kick, you should be aiming to kick across the head rather than kicking down on it.

[Epic1]

@MrWalshy93 that would make it a fighting kick... this isn't a fighting kick. =P

[MrWalshy93]

@Epic1 An actual 540 is measured by the number of turns horizontally, not vertically. A 540 is supposed to just be a 360 turning kick/ 360 roundhouse/ tornado, except that you land on the kicking leg. The kick you have demonstrated has a 540 degree turn in it, but it isn't what is recognised as "The 540 Kick."

I do think it would look good for a performances though :)

This gives an idea of what to aim for if you want to try and work on it as a kick:

/user/andytkd1066#p/u/7/FBkrB6­5Ay8M

[Epic1]

@MrWalshy93 Dude.... chill out. It's just movement. =P hahahaha

[MrWalshy93]

@Epic1 I know :-) I'm just giving insight for people who wanna do the kick instead of this (as you've named the video the 540 kick). I do enjoy your videos though :)

[bboyHarrypotter]

@Epic1 dude hes right and plus, ur supposed to treat it like it its a fighting move

ur still awsome

[PKJiszle]

@MrWalshy93 why dont you just accept that this is TRICKING.. Not Science..

its a 540 kick, we call it that... everyone in the tricking community calls it that so deal with it..

[MrWalshy93]

@PKJiszle ooooh, the "tricking community" pftt.

[TheLinKaiProject]

@MrWalshy93 If there was ever a commentator watching me fight and he happened to be the guy that said finish him from mortal combat. Ide do this kick

[MrPredatorix]

I would really like to know is the corkscrew the same thing as the cork.

Cuz , in corkscrew vids , i saw ppl being inverted in air , and in cork vids they are flat in the air like b-twist.

[ITzSlobbyKnuggs]

So it's just the same thing as a tornado kick but you just land with the same foot your kicking with? i'm lefty so it was hard for me to get it down with this tutorial lol

[BirminghamTracuers]

Epic is the motion of this kick like a cork ?

[Epic1]

@BirminghamTracuers this is nothing like a cork. hahah

[JDiscokid101]

do u need to be really flexible to do this??

[itsmak1998]

1:56-2:06 Awesome Scene

[JDiscokid101]

imagine ur face next to his foot argghh felt a pain!!!

[random21796]

instead of winding or momentum steps, can u throw a hook kick?

[Epic1]

@random21796 now you should know better than to feel you need to ask that. =D

[wwebadgerse]

my MMA teacher tells me to bend my back really far forward for most effectiveness i told him what u said and he said its slightly wrong where you bend your lower knee he tells me to keep it straight

[Epic1]

@wwebadgerse when it comes to expression through movement, there isn't ever really such thing as a WRONG WAY TO MOVE.

[wwebadgerse]

@Epic1 kk thx;)

[PeepChecks]

ho do you get that extra 180 degrees spin out of your kick? i only manage to land a 360 kick. i can't spin another 180 degrees extra :(

[JokerHun95]

Press 9.... cool :D

[ParkourDenver]

hey Epic, how would the kick look and feel if you didnt chamber your kicking leg and kept it strait?

[Epic1]

@ParkourDenver try it for yourself, and find out. =))))

[ParkourDenver]

@Epic1 Haha, I tried it earlier today and it feels not much different. but I personally like to chamber the kick better than keeping it strait. it whips the rotation more for me. but it depends on the person I guess.

much love from Colorado :)

[VeggieAndy]

@Epic1 Hi epic1 !

I am pretty much a newbie to tricking. And I really want the 540 to be my first real trick ( after the tornado Kick).

But somehow I just can't manage to land on my kicking leg.

I am not able to gain that much of height as well! I know : make the path for the kick and not the other way around, but I just can't do it. I think it has something to do with my hips... Do you have any tips for me? I would be glad to hear from you Epic1!

Nice tutorials =]

[M4dSk1llzN00b]

@VeggieAndy ive been trying to learn it for ages, since i started doing tkd a few years ago, i use tornado as a knock out, but what i found out while i attempted to learn 540 for ages is that (if u kick with right leg) u skip forward a little bit on your left leg while u step forward with your right, and launch your right leg into the air, dont hesitate or it wont end well, and try lean back a bit. Hope it helps =)

[VeggieAndy]

@M4dSk1llzN00b

Thank you very much for your reply!

I tried leaning back and I really think that I'm on the right way.

But I still can't land it. Would you mind going further in detail about the "forward skipping" part.

I dont really get it to be honest =D

If you can't, I think I'm fine as well. Practice practice practice =D

[tekken1563]

hey epic do you practise martial arts or just parkour?
