Nice work lots of people are always suspicious against it's effectiveness... but training the technique right is possible to obtain a tremendous power from the spin
Great kick! The only improvements that can be made is near the end you transfer from spinning on your ball of your foot to spinning on your heel. Spinning on your heel tends to throw balance off a bit and slows recovery time back to your fighting stance, so its best to stay on the ball.
Also hold your chamber a little bit more. It'll speed up your kick and give you the option to change technique mid kick if you see your opponent blocking. So if his hands are high you can turn it into a back kick to the stomach.
do the other version of this kick that he has a vid for...instead of a sweeping movement with your kicking leg, it resembles more of a back kick, but you extend your leg towards the head of the target and continue the sweep around...also, stay on your toes...if you try to spin on your heel, you'll def fall off line...
they get their feet so high because of practice and the more force u do with the kick the higher the kick goes
and the more force u put in ur kick will go higher and then next time u do it without same force ur kick can still go the same height all u need is a bit of practice
You can probably make it look prettier, but this guy generates some serious power on this kick. If you still think you can do better, why don't you make a video too and prove it?
secondo me e sbagliato tirare un circolare al viso cosi aperto per diversi motivi uno e troppo telegrafico due scopre troppo tre nn ce economia di movimento ...
nah, what about the point where his back is turned and he has no protection what so ever and the fact that he does this kick very slowly, or the fact that he kicks too high and doesn't have a linear angle on the kick? a good fighter would see it coming a mile a way, lean back slightly then counter hard. also has a good amount of time to think about his counter attack, got a good 0.5 seconds or something there
was just saying this kick needs to be done fast and the heel should travel across the jaw in a straight line, not up and down to the target but straight through it..if you know what i mean..hmm
Best thing about this kick is if (in self defens) you pretend to walk away you can do it then and nail the guy, its awesome, this guy taught me to do it about a year ago on yputube and now i've got it almost perfect.
Try doing the plits as best as you can, but you wanna do any stretches you know for any part of your body because as you see, he really is using his whole body at one point or another... What belt are you?
this is a really old school hook kick. It's way too far to the outside, so it's easy to see coming. The leg shouldn't come up straight, it should be bent, then only straightened as you connect. It's strong, but too slow.
@kennygob On what planet is it too slow? The way he performs this version of the spin hook kick (which is the formal version designed to inflict massive damage) is almost as fast as when I throw this kick, and he's 20-30 kilos heavier than me. This version travels parallel with the ground, increasing the outward force, while maximizing the kick's range of motion, allowing the kick more time to accelerate. That equals to a fast, powerful kick that can break through an opponents guard.
@kwonkicker I agree, it's a powerful enough kick to break through the guard, but it's slow enough that most high level competitors would simply evade it. I would use this version if i knew my opponent was slow, and i was kickboxing instead of wtf sparring. It may work on a "local" level of competition, but that's about it. Most wtf kicking techniques have evolved into faster weaker kicks that are designed to score points, so athletes have evolved as well. it wouldn't catch most of them.
@kwonkicker This is an excellent spinning hook kick with lots of height, pace and power, he also seems to travel through the same path or target each time, his weight and body composition makes this even more impressive IMO!
@kennygob And all version 2 does is cut the range of motion of the kick shorter, giving the illusion that it is faster, when in fact, it is still traveling at the same speed as version 1, it is simply traveling a shorter distance. A shorter distance, means less time to accelerate and build speed. That ultimately leads to a weaker kick. Sure, you may be able to strike your opponent in less time than with version one, but what good would that do when he shrugs it off, smiles and retaliates.
@kwonkicker by cutting the range of motion you are making contact faster. You are making my point for me. it is traveling a shorter distance, which means it reaches the target faster. Granted, it is less powerful, but from a competitive perspective, it makes more sense. I, like you, use my tkd for kickboxing, but i also used to compete at a high level in wtf sparring. I've trained with Olympic competitors and coaches (although i was never at that level), and version 1 would never connect.
@masterblastertkd Yes, so did I. In fact I have won 3 state level championships and 2 national level championships. I competed in olympic style for 5 years , retiring in 2006. If your goal is to score points, and win a game of foot tag, go with version 2. If your goal is to win via damage or KO, go with 1. And at high level "kickboxing" style competition, there is a ring cutting off their escape, so when you back them into the corner, the small amount of sacrificed speed wont matter.
@kwonkicker Thanks again for making my point for me. that's what i'm trying to say. You make a good point about using the ring to cut off their escape. BTW, my original comments were made over a year ago, and since then, i've had personal correspondence with the poster, and apologized for my comments sounding critical and confrontational. at the time i made my original comments, i was unaware that he was using one video as an intro to the other.
...again, if you read my comments, i said i would use version 1 if i were kickboxing, but version 2 in wtf sparring. I used to compete bantam weight (136lbs), and have used version 2 to KO more than one competitor. I suppose they're both useful in their respective context.
@kennygob i've knocked a person out with that kid and at the end of the match he came up to me and asked, dude what the hell did you hit me with, when your in a spare back hook kick is tricky because it difficult to block. a hook kick as u stick ur arm up to block your foot moves around and connects to the side of there face.
@kennygob besides the one you are describing is not the spinning hook kick my friend. it's the dragon kick ''dragon's tail'' -in wing chun, I don't know how it's called in other systems. in fact the one you are describing has it's opposite where the legs starts off straight then bends a couple of inches far away from the target, like the hook kick. but this one is another.
Because it is a way of learning it for those who don't have your super duper cyborg-ninja-jesus balance. It is a tutorial. It shows people who don't know how the know-how.
You should be teaching this the way they will eventually be using it. Most of the people that learn it this way will continue to make mistakes, as it becomes habit. It's not showing anyone the "know-how", it's showing them the "wrong" way. Continuing to practice this kick this way, your balance will only get worse. I did notice that it said version 1, so is there a version 2 that shows the correct way?
What? From this post I see you are not an instructor and know nothing about exercise science. The wall is a methodical help, it takes away the complexity and gives a novice support while concentrating on other aspects as well as giving direct control over the proper form. Do you say it should be taught like it's used as in " yeah, I know you never did this kick, I show it to you *swish* now go ahead and kick the other guy in the noggin with it."
@kennygob lad,id shut up if were you,the coach shows a clear understanding of sports pedagogy and you well,wouldnt know what the word meant.All complex skills are first taught in simpler forms ,sometimes in discreet parts.Later you practise the whole skill unaided.The balance cant get worse ,for a beginner any practise will improve it
@ralphyboy1 WHOA NOW, your comeback was soo clever I had to take a breath there!! haha your question was outworldly stupid I had to say something. Do you absolutely lack common sense? he's obviously grabbing the wall to show how to do the kick in slow motion you stupid twat. "Shows who the idiot is lol", hahahaha what are you? 12?
@Huhmasta WOW your dumb you can do that kick in slow motion without holding the wall I can do it but since I dont own a camera youll just say im a liar. Im guessing by the way your acting your white, only white people are so dumb they would first pick a argument with someone on the internet than 2, not realize it was a joke.
@ralphyboy1 lmao, I like how you bring race into this argument.fucking RETARD. What the fuck does being white have to do with anything? And NO im not white.How about you try shutting the fuck up and respecting people who actually know what the hell they're doing? You're only making yourself look like a complete moron. lol good job. Oh right because the internet hast he automatic "he's joking" feature right? you are fucking retarded. If that was a joke NO ONE is laughing.except for me XD. Bye!
@Huhmasta calm down little kid, no need to call names. I was asking if you were white because white people are really rude and hide behind a computer talking shit. You must be some stupid arab guy.
his kick goes one big circle before it touches its target. By that time, the opponent would have safely backed off already.. but it's good effort though.
Don't spin on your heel, spin on the ball of your foot. As mentioned below, you need to completely and tightly bend your kicking leg before and after the hook, that's what makes it a "hook", if you know hook, it's older/regular spinning kick. Get your arms closer to your body. And ZAP your head and shoulder around before anything in your body spins, which creates the torque.
dont worry about the Tornado kick, if u still cant get it try watching more videos about the Tornado kick, it may help u to understand and absorb more. Making you excute the tornado kick better
in self-defense i wouldn't do this,can tackle better with situation with kicks to the groin,but in muay thai fights i use it very often and glorious,great videos !=)
hello aye can anybody help me i know how to shoot my leg up in the air with dis kick but i don't know how to flick it down and hit the target properly.please help me
I have exactly the same problem, question is..... how the hell do i dealt with it? I can do almost any kick with my right leg but when it comes to the left i can barely make a clean roundhouse
i guess it's because our right leg's are our dominant legs. its just like trying to make your left hand, or non dominant hand write. it is hard to. although possible with training
Arts like taekwondo rely on chambering, kicking, then recoiling. I've seen pretty effective Back Hook kicks that one shoots his leg out, over the shoulder and bends in. One should never kick with a "Baseball bat" leg.
you're talking about a different kind of hook kick, you see that's why he made two versions, the other one is to throw your leg almost near the face of the enemy, but i dunno that's just what i think, cus im still learning though.
Looking at your target actually is a bad habit for this kick if you plan to use it while sparring. It's OK to spot the target first while doing forms or a demo but the extra time it takes to spot then kick your target could be the difference between hitting it or missing it while sparring.
Looking first can also cause your head to swing around which is a good target for a counter round house kick to your head.
Darren this was the first thing discussed on this thread a year ago. The bottom line is that if you are any good at this kick then you will not 'double-check' mid-kick to see if the target has moved or not. That pause only allows your opponent more time to try to move or block.
Part of being good at it is knowing the situations when and when NOT to throw this kick. That allows you to trust your ability throw the kick accurately.
when you do this aren't you suposed to keep you legs tucked inside like a back kick that what my instructor keeps on telling me..i used to do this perfect but now it comes out sloppy
this is a tutorial for a certain move not an actual sparring move. but with his speed if he distracted an oponent he could get a lucky shot. but nothing ive read says anything about sparring tips.
you smart ones guys are very good to talk. wanna see ya all in action, ya would kiss the ground with this kick, wake up the morning after asking what hapenned. respect.
If your opponent can spot the kick before you throw it then it becomes ineffective. I'm not commenting on his footwork because I haven't seen him spar but you ideally want to be able to throw all of your kicks from the same stance. If that back leg cheats around like many people have a bad habit of doing then it is a dead giveaway.
C'mon...horse stance???...are you serious? That's used in forms. No good fighter stands in that position because you CAN'T throw kicks from it.
I think my point is very clear but I will clarify. I'm referring to the stance before the strike, not the moment of the strike. A bad habit people have when throwing a back kick or spinning hook is that their back leg cheats around so that they are more sideways to their opponent than normal.
I guess you are serious so you must be delusional or just ignorant. The horse stance is a traditional martial arts stance, not a modern fighting stance. At least not for a legitimate style.
I don't know how old you are but from your videos you like a young teenager which means you can't have too much experience or knowledge of which you are speaking of. Perhaps someone else can comment or your "horse stance theory".
The guy that made this tutorial does Olympic Style Taekwondo which is a modern style. He didn't mention sparring tips but jderumeu did in his comment above which is what your replied to. The only one talking about traditional Karate is you. Nice try though n00b.
Even your own 'favorites' videos don't show the fighters in a horse stance while sparring. The only one I see doing it is some lame teenager that must have gotten his belt from some McDojo.....Oh wait, that's you in your own clips.
the two top comments are from kwonkicker... cool

Im guessing by the way your acting your white, only white people are so dumb they would first pick a argument with someone on the internet than 2, not realize it was a joke.

@ralphyboy1 lmao, I like how you bring race into this argument.fucking RETARD. What the fuck does being white have to do with anything? And NO im not white.How about you try shutting the fuck up and respecting people who actually know what the hell they're doing? You're only making yourself look like a complete moron. lol good job. Oh right because the internet hast he automatic "he's joking" feature right? you are fucking retarded. If that was a joke NO ONE is laughing.except for me XD. Bye!

@Huhmasta calm down little kid, no need to call names. I was asking if you were white because white people are really rude and hide behind a computer talking shit. You must be some stupid arab guy.

his kick goes one big circle before it touches its target. By that time, the opponent would have safely backed off already.. but it's good effort though.

Don't spin on your heel, spin on the ball of your foot. As mentioned below, you need to completely and tightly bend your kicking leg before and after the hook, that's what makes it a "hook", if you know hook, it's older/regular spinning kick. Get your arms closer to your body. And ZAP your head and shoulder around before anything in your body spins, which creates the torque.

I have exactly the same problem, question is..... how the hell do i dealt with it? I can do almost any kick with my right leg but when it comes to the left i can barely make a clean roundhouse
xpacev2 3 years ago
i guess it's because our right leg's are our dominant legs. its just like trying to make your left hand, or non dominant hand write. it is hard to. although possible with training

i think you should always keep your legs straight for this kick, this is very useful especially for countering.
moncmon 3 years ago
Arts like taekwondo rely on chambering, kicking, then recoiling. I've seen pretty effective Back Hook kicks that one shoots his leg out, over the shoulder and bends in. One should never kick with a "Baseball bat" leg.
deguimerautube 3 years ago
you're talking about a different kind of hook kick, you see that's why he made two versions, the other one is to throw your leg almost near the face of the enemy, but i dunno that's just what i think, cus im still learning though.

Use your sholders more... that's helps balence a lot... also helps to spot your target... always look where you are kicking.
dardrex777 3 years ago
Looking at your target actually is a bad habit for this kick if you plan to use it while sparring. It's OK to spot the target first while doing forms or a demo but the extra time it takes to spot then kick your target could be the difference between hitting it or missing it while sparring.
Looking first can also cause your head to swing around which is a good target for a counter round house kick to your head.
dannyterrio 3 years ago
that's why you want to use your peripheral vision. Also your opponent moves in sparring so you want to look for if he/she does or not as well.
dardrex777 3 years ago
Darren this was the first thing discussed on this thread a year ago. The bottom line is that if you are any good at this kick then you will not 'double-check' mid-kick to see if the target has moved or not. That pause only allows your opponent more time to try to move or block.
Part of being good at it is knowing the situations when and when NOT to throw this kick. That allows you to trust your ability throw the kick accurately.
dannyterrio 3 years ago
when you do this aren't you suposed to keep you legs tucked inside like a back kick that what my instructor keeps on telling me..i used to do this perfect but now it comes out sloppy

Paitro202 3 years ago
If your opponent can spot the kick before you throw it then it becomes ineffective. I'm not commenting on his footwork because I haven't seen him spar but you ideally want to be able to throw all of your kicks from the same stance. If that back leg cheats around like many people have a bad habit of doing then it is a dead giveaway.
dannyterrio 3 years ago
one stance for kicking one stance for punching.....................atacking and defending
Paitro202 3 years ago
If you have different stances for different moves then a good opponent can spot that. It also limits what you can do at that given moment.
dannyterrio 3 years ago
TRUE but you cant do a reverse punch from a high stance, you cant kick from a horse stance, whats your point?
Paitro202 3 years ago
C'mon...horse stance???...are you serious? That's used in forms. No good fighter stands in that position because you CAN'T throw kicks from it.
I think my point is very clear but I will clarify. I'm referring to the stance before the strike, not the moment of the strike. A bad habit people have when throwing a back kick or spinning hook is that their back leg cheats around so that they are more sideways to their opponent than normal.
Just to add I think this is a very good tutorial.
dannyterrio 3 years ago
ehh, yeah most fighters use the horse stance when fighting
Paitro202 3 years ago
I guess you are serious so you must be delusional or just ignorant. The horse stance is a traditional martial arts stance, not a modern fighting stance. At least not for a legitimate style.
I don't know how old you are but from your videos you like a young teenager which means you can't have too much experience or knowledge of which you are speaking of. Perhaps someone else can comment or your "horse stance theory".
dannyterrio 3 years ago
who here is talking about modern karate you twat?...are you blind or stupid?
this is traditional karate, that im talking about, dont know what this fairy is on about.
Paitro202 3 years ago
The guy that made this tutorial does Olympic Style Taekwondo which is a modern style. He didn't mention sparring tips but jderumeu did in his comment above which is what your replied to. The only one talking about traditional Karate is you. Nice try though n00b.
dannyterrio 3 years ago
no you are wrong. i think most fighters use the horse stance when they are in the toilet, not in a fight...

haha, a bit sad??, post some videos of good fighters that dont use the horse stance, thought so
Paitro202 3 years ago
Even your own 'favorites' videos don't show the fighters in a horse stance while sparring. The only one I see doing it is some lame teenager that must have gotten his belt from some McDojo.....Oh wait, that's you in your own clips.
