  • the two top comments are from kwonkicker... cool

  • I can't tell the difference between the 2 versions! U look equally sexy in both as well

  • wooo kwonkicker commented on your vid, you're a celeb now!

  • He reminds me of yuri boyka.

  • This is probably the best tutorial I have seen for this type of kick...and he didn't even have to say a word. Great job and much thanks!

  • yes if you do this fast and good your putting the person down for a while. Great kick my favorite the one i can do the best.

  • looks like he kicked squidwards nose clean off ....

  • lol. if i ever tried spinning with a hook kick i would probably end up hitting anything but what was in front of me.

  • Why were you holding on to the wall...

  • good idea to have done this in slow motion so people can learn how to do it

  • question, are you connecting with your heel or the bottom of your foot?

  • I broke three fingers doing this kicks a few weeks ago, lol slipped on the grass xD

  • 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

  • one of the most beautiful hooks ive ever seen, its so perfect.

  • Missing the most important step. You have to look at what you're kicking. An opponent doesn't stand still.

  • Best tutorial on the kick I've ever seen.

  • this SUCKS! he looks like he's doing ballet! it's way to far out! old fasioned way!

  • very helpful video kyryllo, the wall trick works well to get you going! thanks mate :D

  • another easier way of keeping balance and gaining height is almost be able to touch the floor with ur front hand. in this video his left hand

  • i love this kick. as a tricker this kick is a must in order to connect or start combos

  • version 1 is more tkd, while 2 is karate. i learned 2 in karate and my tkd friend goes more by version 1

  • 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.

  • hes so cool =D

  • Awesome Tutorial! Thanks!

    It's the momentum, movement of the twist, whip and snap while maintain the balance and flow.

  • great tutorials .. thx for posting

  • just remember to look at your target before you hook your leg around. and keep your hands up.

  • nice kick...but it looks more like a spin cresent kick, I am not seeing the hook

  • now i know how to do this kick, thaks

  • can you try doing it higher, cuz that would make this video perfect as a tutorial...

  • excellent video...I found it really useful. Your form is beautiful too. thanks so much for posting it.

  • i can get my foot that high ... but a cant do the kick without having something to lean on i cant seem to keep my balance

  • 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...

    good luck!

  • just try dong it with some speed you'll do it in a fraction so u won't waste time trying to keep your balance.

    its easier when fast.

  • Exactly what I was looking for, thank you.

  • you've got some great vids, i'm subscribing

  • Very Nice

  • how do they get their feet so high?

  • 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

  • the ability to do the splits will help. I can't do the splits yet, and kicks can only go to ribs and neck level.

  • great flexibility.

  • thanks good sir

  • true.

  • *sigh* did you even read the description?

    click on the link at the top of the description. The Version 2 hook kick is what you are referring to.

  • 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?

  • ushiro-mawashi geri

  • That'd be a spinning Ushiro Mawashi Geri

  • ...also known as a spinning hook kick.

  • i looooooooooooooooooooooooove your tutorials man ..

    thank you ,and that's a kiss for ya : X

    :D

  • 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 ...

  • bad thing too is he is not looking at his target as he comes around

  • I was taught to hit with the heel not the bottom of the foot? ...

  • u extend ur foot to give extra inches in ur kick range just in case the heel misses short

  • this is my fav kick

  • very nice kick, watch his hands when he begins to kick, they drop slightlly, a good fighter would take advantage of that.

  • 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

  • h0rangi, i could tell from what you said you have no fighting experience whatsoever.

  • 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

  • i agree with 2stepmurder.

    a good fighter would instep,full sway towards the incoming kick and reverse sweep kick with the left leg

  • depending on rules...yes..

  • What discipline of martial arts did you get this from?

  • u get them from tkd

    taekwondo

  • In vietnamese martial arts it is called "Dragon Tail" :)

  • Dude, great kick. I tried using my door to hold on to, but I feel like I'm using my hamstring to do the kick and not the hips.

  • here is sum tips..

    if u bring ur whole leg straight up..

    it would be slow.

    my suggest..

    u do a high backtrust to ur 45 degree n onli u do a swing.

    it would be more fas n powerful~

  • 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.

  • Can you tell me what i have to stretch if i want do this?

  • 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?

  • lots of groin streching and hamstring stretching shuld do it

  • hey man very good kick! i appreciate you posting this up...people are just upset because they cant kick like that..keep up the good work

  • 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.

  • Then use the Version 2.

    And I a lot of people who can do the kick extremely fast and precise, some of them almost took the heads off with it.

  • @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 yes, only straigthen when connected.

  • @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.

  • @lympheneas in other systems it's called "spinning hook kick".

  • im kinding powerfull kick good video

  • shitty man

  • 0:15 its too much going on the side!

  • why is that i can do it using balance if you have strong enough leg and hip muscles I think your the dumbass.

  • you might not be a dumbass, but you sure are a smartass

  • lol ill give you that.

  • 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.

  • uh its not t hat difficult you dont need to get all upset.

  • 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 Why are you such an idiot? lol

  • @Huhmasta Why are you talking to me? If you dont like my comments dont read them. Shows who the idiot is lol.

  • @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.

  • use in combinations? it really depends on how good u use it and how good the other guy is..

  • i like how all these idiots are giving you and mean thumbs down lol.

  • Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. I have benefited greatly from them.

  • 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 mean, if you don't bend your leg, it's older/regular spinning kick

  • спасибо, отличный туториал, мало слов и много дела =)

  • Holy shit i finally found a use for my long ass grasshopper legs

  • wow... dude, you really got great vids... I hope i could do this kick some time now....

  • nice kick! seems like you could be a little more compact though. As far as when you first bring your leg up.

  • In Holland we would call you an 'Antfucker'

  • Sick man! You got a great hook!

  • i think u should add some music :P

    AweSOME vID :D

  • yah...like sum instrumental from dj premier

  • he knows what he is doing, he keeps his front feet pointed towards the enemy. then he kicks coming back to his back stance.

  • 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

  • suckas im derek lowndes and today im gonna teach u how to tailwhip

  • he isnt keepin a look on his oponent

    while he is kicking altho there is no oponent

    i think this guy has great videos but im still struggling with the tornado kick lol

  • for the tornado kick, think this:

    step, jump, twisk, kick

  • This guy's cool, i like his detail, im still havin a hard time with the Tornado kick though...

  • i do this kick alot in class.. although i use it more as a finishing move..

  • when you do this kick you want your back to be strait. the way you do it you are off balance.

  • love this kick. i can only do it with my right leg though..

  • hah same i can only do it with my left

  • 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

  • p.o.s doing it this way

  • it's pretty good but he dosen't watch forward before he hits!!! osu!

  • he does a good job in doing the kick but doesnt do a good job in looking back for the opponent.

  • very helpful video!

  • i think you should always keep your legs straight for this kick, this is very useful especially for countering.

  • 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.

  • i'm yellow belt in tae kwon do and this kick is very easy

  • I'm having difficulty performing the kick because whenever I execute I get outbalanced. This guys balace is good

  • Use your sholders more... that's helps balence a lot... also helps to spot your target... always look where you are kicking.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • nice but how do you get your kick so high practice??

  • Flexibility.

  • Im a righty,and i can do this kick only with my left leg.I gave up trying it with my right.

  • 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.

  • the way u set up for it...ur footwork i mean...is a dead giveaway...u kick wide and then ur open season mate...

  • dead giveaway?? a fraction of a second, are you well at all my child?? ohh yeah, you must be superman

  • 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.

  • one stance for kicking one stance for punching.....................a­tacking and defending

  • 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.

  • TRUE but you cant do a reverse punch from a high stance, you cant kick from a horse stance, whats your point?

  • 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.

  • ehh, yeah most fighters use the horse stance when fighting

  • 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".

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • yes pawnworks it hurts like bitch but thats only cause i do jumping kicks alot and it pulls your muscles BADLY.

  • you have a lot of control dude, i cant kick that slow while keeping my form

  • The movie might be going in slow motion at those times.. Im not exactly sure though.

    Great Kick ^_^

  • does kicking ever hurt inside you're hips..like it does me?

  • that's because soooooo many kicks use your hips..you need to stretch them out
