this kick can use on the street, some people saying can't use on the street. well first maybe because you don't know how to do it or you can't kick like that. this kind of kick you have to do it very fast and acurate... and good timing.
GREAT KICK!!! regardless if this is not really a practical kick for street use. anyone who can preform this technique can attribute to it's finesse and technical difficulty so in the end, it's a demonstration of physical skill that has been applied through his years of training. Some of you have sure been rude in your commenting and if any of you that have been disrespectful are martial artists then you should be ashamed of yourselves!!! Respect and Courtesy two cornerstones of the Martial Arts
THOSE kicks look prety awesome an i would like to do all of them but they are kind of useless no point to kick so hight and theire power is not that big
@kimcheolho A 540 is just a 360, but landing on the same leg as you kicked with. The 540 hook, what you're talking about, is a 540 crescent kick, keeping it low, but then whipping out a hook kick as you land.
Isn't the "how-many-degrees" turn counted by the rotation of the hip, beginning from the moment the first foot leaves the ground up to the point of kick impact?
Because if anyone accepts that definition, then this is a 360, not a 540...
And if he can land on his right foot (as per the video), I don't see why he cannot add in a back hook with his left leg before landing as well, yes?
mm.. i don't know about tae kwon do things but that what you just did isn't "540 crescent kick" it's 540 kick. 540kick is tornado kick but land on your kicking leg, like you just did. 540 crescent is 360 spin and then hook kick. so do 360 spin in that direction where do you do hook kick, 360, and then late hook kick.
ok. this is NOT a 540 kick. he is doing a jumping spin cresent kick landing on the same leg he kicked. i don't know where he's dojo is but this is NOT the original 540.
the true 540 is doing a tornado kick = 360, but instead of kicking, spin 180 degrees more and do a back hook kick. thats why it is called 540. 360(tornado)+180spinback hoook.
@dronin87 lol if you put it that way of course u can do any kicks after 540 spins. snap kick, knee kick,etc... but in taekwondo the term "540" refers to a specific kick, not just any spins nd kick. just search up "540 kick" in youtube. its esier if u see it. plus this guys not even doing 540 spins. -.- just count his spins. its 360.
tutorial...really? Do a cresent kick while doing a 540. Just saying that and doing it is hardly teaching. Wheres the footwork emphasis, tips on how to keep momentum thru the spin, keys to keep in mind etc. thumbs down. ok.
I'm not going to argue with you anymore since you are not willing to see my side, even though I do see your side. And since you are being a royal asshole about all of this, I will say this: Fuck you and go suck a big floppy donkey dick.
And I do guard my groin in fights, as does almost every other single man unless they are void of a brain. =)
One more thing. From a male kicker's point of veiw, I guard my groin very well, and I am concious of how I leave myself open when I kick. That aside, the groin and the face are the two places where guys guard the most when they fight, Martial Artists or not. Unless some guy walks up with his legs apart like an idiot, you are better off going for another area of his body, ie head, face, joints, ribs, solar plexus etc. And when his guard is down, you can try a groin shot, if you feel the need.
A couple of other points: If you are close enough to kick your opponent, they are close enough to kick you. If you are close enough to kick them in the balls, they are close enough to kick you, punch you, and kick you in the balls as well. If you want to go around kicking dudes in the balls to win fights, go ahead. But you will not have my respect. The ppl that have my respect are the ones who don't have to use groin kicks as a crutch, ppl with actual SKILL.
I would rather have someone apply a pressure point or stomp the knee than get kicked in the balls. GENERALLY, the only guys who kick the balls are cowards, western boxing and crap aside, ITS NOT HONERABLE. And you CAN hit ppl in the back of the head in TKD, just no pressure points.
I just don't like it when i get kicked in the balls. It can do serious damage if you kick hard enough, enough damage to make sure that person doesn't have children. Now, I don't really have a problem with it if its a woman defending herself against a man who would otherwise rape or kill her or both. It's just when a guy "wins" a fight just because he kicked the other guy in the balls that i have a problem with.
That being said, I hope you will come to realize that different situations call for different techniques, and that while kicking requires tremendous ballance, coordination, strength, flexibility and a LOT of practice, they are very effective when used properly. Do I study TKD? Yes. Do I practice kicks a lot? Yes. Would I use kicks in every situation? No. A true Martial Artist knows when to fight, and when to look for other alternatives. Peace.
I do see your point. However, if you're fighting a Martial Artist, and he has great experience kicking and does proper techniques, then it would be nearly impossible to kick him in the balls. And, unless you are a woman and doing it for self defense, a kick to the balls is really a douche move. A kick to the balls is just for women and guys looking for a pussy way out of a fight. REAL MEN DON'T KICK OTHER MEN IN THE BALLS.
2. You are partly right, although every situation calls for different techniques, a punch to the throat or a poke to the eye is very effective, but if you miss the poke to the eye you could jam your finger into their forehead. However, kick can be a lot more effective than hand tequniques, as legs are longer and stronger than arms, even though they take alot more practice to refine.
1, Although Choi was a General of Korea in the 1940s, he didn't create Taekwon Do. Taekwon Do is a refined form of Tae Kyon, the ancient form of TKD. TKD was created after the Japanese lost control of Korea. Tae Kyon dates back to the Silla Dynasty, over 1300 years ago, back when horses were used by soldiers. The Flying Side Kick was used by the peasants against the mounted soldiers.
Actually, you really have to look at the history of Taekwon Do to fully understand the more advanced kicks. Like the Flying Side Kick... it was used to kick a guy off of his horse. Martial Arts have practiacal self defense applications yes, but they also were meant for fighting in combat.
Another thing, say you try to kick a guy in the groin and he blocks, what do you do then? There is ALWAYS more than one way to fight than simple punches or kicks to the groin.
I take Kyokushin Kai and I'm a green belt about to test for my blue. I recently just learned a 180 outside crescent kick and a 360 roundhouse kick. The 360 is pretty much impractical for fighting but the 180 outside crescent is a good defensive kick to back your opponent off. It is also good for catching a charging opponent off-guard by making it look like your doing a jump front and then transitioning to 180 crescent. I'm trying right now to put both the 180 and the 360 together into one move.
ok you do have a point, SOME of the kicks are nothing in real life and are just for show or competitions.
However martial arts teach you how to do the simple kicks and punches better, it should teach you how to block better, improve fitness and sharpen reactions.
Therefore, yes not all moves are effective but someone who does martial arts WILL be a better more experience andn knowledgable fighter
Why the hell people keep calling this move a 540 turn ? It ain't 540 turn kick. ...the move this guy showed was barely 360. search and find real koreans doing 540, look carefully and it's different.
Nowhere in my country TKD says ground spin counts. dah. you just count solely from when your both legs are off the ground, otherwise everyone can do fucking 540. Dah ! even 10 million degree kick. The number of the turn solely counts on the turn during the air. know what you're saying.
@mrkwonsony you never heard of tricking counting, have you? if you do this move right, you spin nearly 540° in the air: look at steve teradas 540 and you will see...
I'm right and you're wrong. Simply I have 2 thumbs up and I'd already made myself clear that this is not a true, or pure 540 kick. If you don't want to be heard an 'ignorant', 'moron', 'dork' etc, then go to the read the full coments and try to read my previous statements with others. Don't bother people with your useless idea. Done.
@sugardrux It's impressive because people tell whether you are wrong or I'm right. 360 isn't nearly 540. Watch your mouth and cut your fingers before you know what you're saying and typing keyboard warrior.
@mrkwonsony theres too much degrees for me, ppl talk too much "its a 540 kick" "no its not" its a 720" im no math wiz its all too confuszing. why dont you just call it a double spin kick or somthing so ppl will shut the fuck up and quit arguing over pointless numbers. the point is he showed us a cool kick. thats all that matters
You don't have to be a 'math wiz'. I'm pretty useless at mathematics. But I can understand that a full circle has 360 degrees and work it out from there...it's not that hard. The numbers aren't pointless, they describe the amount you turn during the move.
@martialartguyxxx Restayvien is correct and shows what I'm all telling. It's not about this guy shows a cool kick or what. It's all about exactly how much spin he turns and that means how much or the amount of turn you do in your kick, and it implies the total difference between 360 degree and 540 degree. Of course you don't have to be math wiz. What this guy's doing is just a sissy one spin kick and ppl are calling this like two spins kick. How's that the same ? got the point now ?
idk... just seems like alot of asian martial arts are a whole lot of things that are complicated hard to perfect and circumstancial. Basicaly you would have to really be paying attention to know when the inside-outside cresent kick would work, not only that but tbh 99.9% there is a better attack than something that complex. To me something that is simpler is much better, Boxing, kickboxing and grapleing is all you really need to beat almost any one.
You know what I'm done arguing with a child, I have no idea why I even began. You can go back to your maple story and ill stop bothering trying to correct you.
Really... This made me laugh. The fact that I'm 15 doesn't mean that I'm immature or I don't know my facts (which is probably what you're thinking).
Internet manuals can suck my dick. Seriously.
Unless you can get a 7th dan or higher to tell me the correct way to perform a Crescent is outer-inner too, I won't agree with you.
And even then, I'd still pick my teacher's (Omar Merodio) word since he sees Master Marano all the time. If there's any change in a move, we're the first to know about it.
You do know manuals aren't created by novices right? Also I could say I was taught by General Choi's son for godsake and would you believe me? Like I said, evidence will win you the case. Show me a proper crescent please, show me what Master Omar taught you.
XGhacker quit talking shit; your sorry little red belt ass doesn't know shit about anything.
He's doing a fucking crescent kick, not a round- you don't throw your hips over for it. Not to mention that he's doing a 540 demo kick, something your dumass can't even comprehend.
It looks more like a circular/round, NOWHERE near crescent. Crescent goes from top to bottom, inner to outer (does not go for 360/540, for the last one).
A crescent kick can go inside-out or outside-in. IF you don't know that much you're taekwondo instructor sucks balls or you're just dumb. His kick is correct - quit talking about something you don't know.
Yes a 360 or a 540 are usually performed from outter to inner. While on the floor it does not matter if the crescent is going from in to out and vice versa, they both are still crescent kicks.
Your excuse is that you've been moving from place to place a lot and that causes you to lose practice? Why don't you just read your manual or browse the internet to help you further your education in TKD
Also, you haven't been practicing for too long? To achieve a red belt does take awhile.
Correct way? Both are correct ways.You've received different teachings from different dojangs and maybe that is the reason why you have no idea what your talking about.
Only 3 years to achieve a red belt? What the hell is that. Were you given belts like how people hand out candy?
Also the people who spent 50 years in TKD are considered MASTERS, we aren't talking about masters are we. We're talking about your novice red belt ass that think your correct when everyone is telling you oppisite.
"You've received different teachings from different dojangs and maybe that is the reason why you have no idea what your talking about."
This made no sense. If I received teaching from different people, wouldn't it make more sense to get taught both ways? I see you're misinformed.
Omar Merodio is a direct student of Master Marano (technique director of the ITF), so if there was any other way to perform the Crescent, him and his students would know way before anyone else.
Infact, they're organizing the World Tournament right now.
3 years is the usual time. It's obvious that you've got NO clue what you're talking about, or you simply fail. My exams have a 7 ~ 7.40 average score, and from blue. red to red I had to wait about half a year. MOST people who practice TKD archive red belt in 3 years or less.
No. Not everyone can archive Master category anymore. Max is 8th unless you've dedicated alot of your life into organizing and participating in TKD events.
It does make sense, if you were taught many ways to do something how would you know which is the correct way? Therefor you have no idea what your talking about.
What does Omar and Marano have to do with this? Are they your sensei? Is that what they taught you? Are those the words that came from their mouths?
Please give me some evidence atleast, maybe you could perform a "proper" crescent kick and than ill eat my own words, I'd love to see that day.
No. I'm telling you I was taught in only one way, which is, while on the floor, inner-outer. At all places.
Omar is my teacher, Omar was a student of Marano, and works with him constantly. Making us one of the first few to know when something changes.
I've broke a 1 inch wood (I know that's not much) at my green.blue and blue exams with Crescent kicks. No, I'm not giving you a proof. I feel that's unnecessary.
Also, what's up with you using Japanese terms for a Korean martial art?
Unnecessary to provide proof to one's statement, hmm...that must be the reason why court cases are handled so easily. Pardon me for sidetracking off the main topic. Oh my apologies for the poor choice of words,yes sensei is Japanese. But you must understand there are more than one word for such things, I could of called him Sifu and the meanings would remain the same. Yes everyone is free to believe in what they wish to believe in, I am only stating FACTS whether you wish to believe them or not.
Have you specifically asked your master whether the outside-inside crescent kick is considered a legitimate technique in TKD? I am curious what the response to that is.
1 other question: If you found yourself in a sparring situation where your body position and momentum move you so that the easiest/most effective kick was an outside-inside crescent on the ground, like if you sidestepped left and there was an opening on the right too small for a round kick, would you use the outside crescent?
I told you I have; It can be done, but it's not the correct way to do it. Like you can do a circular kick with the upper part of your fingers instead of the bottom. It CAN be done, but it's wrong from the technical aspect and is MUCH less effective.
@question: No I'd probably try to go through his back and land a circular/360 on the side of his head,
No, im not saying you must listen and do what everyone tells you but read up on it in your manual or the internet and you'll find out both ways are correct.
Crescent kick is performed either inner-crescent or outer-crescent. Not everything is performed one way your narrow minded fool meaning this technique could be inner or outer. Whoopdie doo, your a red belt and your can apparently "correct" a black belt 3rd dan, can I ask you something mister? If you are such a professional why haven't you achieved black belt? Don't try to critique when you have no idea what your talking about.
As for the question, ever thought it's because I haven't been practicing for TOO long? AND I have switched countries and cities multiple times, making it harder for me in the exams (although I've never failed one)?
Plus, the dude isn't even wearing the TKD uniform. There are many organizations, in between WTF, ITF, AST, and many others. And as far as I'm concerned, all of them use the same Do-bok, so what the fuck is up with this? I doubt he actually practices TKD.
Basically, this video just fails. a 2nd Gup (red belt) finding errors in a 3rd dan is just pathetic.
And how the fuck did this guy get to black belt, lets not even speak of 3rd dan.
Has anyone noticed that he doesn't get his hips in? (for the ones who don't understand: he doesn't straighten his back). He's supposed to get his hips in to be able to turn around completely and hit with the part below the fingers. He's hitting with the side of the leg. That is not an effective hit, and if he'd need to crack a wood with that kick, he wouldn't be able to.
The fact that you practice something doesn't mean you know what to use. In the streets, the 360, 540, descending, spinning kicks DO NOT HELP. My teacher, Omar Merodio, 7th dan told us this. In the street the technique does not matter, you've got to end the fight with one strike. Don't come with the wrestling, on the floor bullshit. If you end the fight in one strike, there's no reason to get to any of that.
Then I started fighting in the MMA world. I was good enough to where I couldn't get taken down unless I let it happen, and I could hurt a lot of people when they tried, but there was no such thing as a one technique fight ender, because when people are flying at you for a takedown you have to either sprawl and land on them, try to hit them as they come in, dodge out of range, or get taken down. If you try to hit them, most are well-covered and will end up grabbing you, and now you are wrestling.
In the street, you do whatever hurts the other person the fastest. You spit in their eyes, stomp the feet, bite, scratch, headbutt, and slam the head on the pavement if possible. Anything around that fits in your hand is fair game too.I've read through your comments on the first four pages, and you do sound immature for the most part. It's not a bad thing, but the comments you have posted range from somewhat reasonable to very immature. Have fun with your TKD, and keep learning!
the only time i would use a cresent kick in a fight is to block kicks that are to low for me to block with my hands. and of course i would use a standing cresent kick not a 540. i prefer the 360 hook kick or roundhouse for kicks to the head though. but thats just me being a jujitsu man myself
I appreciate his ability to do the kick, but he's not explaining actually how to do the 540 part of the kick. He's only explaining how to do the Crescent. I think most people agree the difficulty lies in the 540 portion of the technique. Expert Village needs to give people the time and space in their videos to properly explain these techniques.
not really. it depends. any kick is easy to block but if you create a distraction with another foot like he did then it might catch the other guy off guard.
he says k 17 times :D

Now, I don't really have a problem with it if its a woman defending herself against a man who would otherwise rape or kill her or both. It's just when a guy "wins" a fight just because he kicked the other guy in the balls that i have a problem with.
smashbrosdojo090 2 years ago
That being said, I hope you will come to realize that different situations call for different techniques, and that while kicking requires tremendous ballance, coordination, strength, flexibility and a LOT of practice, they are very effective when used properly. Do I study TKD? Yes. Do I practice kicks a lot? Yes. Would I use kicks in every situation? No. A true Martial Artist knows when to fight, and when to look for other alternatives. Peace.
smashbrosdojo090 2 years ago
I do see your point. However, if you're fighting a Martial Artist, and he has great experience kicking and does proper techniques, then it would be nearly impossible to kick him in the balls. And, unless you are a woman and doing it for self defense, a kick to the balls is really a douche move. A kick to the balls is just for women and guys looking for a pussy way out of a fight. REAL MEN DON'T KICK OTHER MEN IN THE BALLS.

2. You are partly right, although every situation calls for different techniques, a punch to the throat or a poke to the eye is very effective, but if you miss the poke to the eye you could jam your finger into their forehead. However, kick can be a lot more effective than hand tequniques, as legs are longer and stronger than arms, even though they take alot more practice to refine.

1, Although Choi was a General of Korea in the 1940s, he didn't create Taekwon Do. Taekwon Do is a refined form of Tae Kyon, the ancient form of TKD. TKD was created after the Japanese lost control of Korea. Tae Kyon dates back to the Silla Dynasty, over 1300 years ago, back when horses were used by soldiers. The Flying Side Kick was used by the peasants against the mounted soldiers.
smashbrosdojo090 2 years ago
Actually, you really have to look at the history of Taekwon Do to fully understand the more advanced kicks. Like the Flying Side Kick... it was used to kick a guy off of his horse. Martial Arts have practiacal self defense applications yes, but they also were meant for fighting in combat.
Another thing, say you try to kick a guy in the groin and he blocks, what do you do then? There is ALWAYS more than one way to fight than simple punches or kicks to the groin.

kaneda956 2 years ago
I take Kyokushin Kai and I'm a green belt about to test for my blue. I recently just learned a 180 outside crescent kick and a 360 roundhouse kick. The 360 is pretty much impractical for fighting but the 180 outside crescent is a good defensive kick to back your opponent off. It is also good for catching a charging opponent off-guard by making it look like your doing a jump front and then transitioning to 180 crescent. I'm trying right now to put both the 180 and the 360 together into one move.
HendricksEthan 2 years ago
ok you do have a point, SOME of the kicks are nothing in real life and are just for show or competitions.
However martial arts teach you how to do the simple kicks and punches better, it should teach you how to block better, improve fitness and sharpen reactions.
Therefore, yes not all moves are effective but someone who does martial arts WILL be a better more experience andn knowledgable fighter
PikachuBacon 2 years ago
Why the hell people keep calling this move a 540 turn ? It ain't 540 turn kick. ...the move this guy showed was barely 360. search and find real koreans doing 540, look carefully and it's different.

his first spin while standing counts as well
EdgeOfEnding 1 year ago
Nowhere in my country TKD says ground spin counts. dah. you just count solely from when your both legs are off the ground, otherwise everyone can do fucking 540. Dah ! even 10 million degree kick. The number of the turn solely counts on the turn during the air. know what you're saying.
mrkwonsony 1 year ago
@mrkwonsony you never heard of tricking counting, have you? if you do this move right, you spin nearly 540° in the air: look at steve teradas 540 and you will see...
sugardrux 1 year ago
I'm right and you're wrong. Simply I have 2 thumbs up and I'd already made myself clear that this is not a true, or pure 540 kick. If you don't want to be heard an 'ignorant', 'moron', 'dork' etc, then go to the read the full coments and try to read my previous statements with others. Don't bother people with your useless idea. Done.

@mrkwonsony theres too much degrees for me, ppl talk too much "its a 540 kick" "no its not" its a 720" im no math wiz its all too confuszing. why dont you just call it a double spin kick or somthing so ppl will shut the fuck up and quit arguing over pointless numbers. the point is he showed us a cool kick. thats all that matters
martialartguyxxx 1 year ago
@martialartguyxxx
You don't have to be a 'math wiz'. I'm pretty useless at mathematics. But I can understand that a full circle has 360 degrees and work it out from there...it's not that hard. The numbers aren't pointless, they describe the amount you turn during the move.
Restayvien 1 year ago
@martialartguyxxx Restayvien is correct and shows what I'm all telling. It's not about this guy shows a cool kick or what. It's all about exactly how much spin he turns and that means how much or the amount of turn you do in your kick, and it implies the total difference between 360 degree and 540 degree. Of course you don't have to be math wiz. What this guy's doing is just a sissy one spin kick and ppl are calling this like two spins kick. How's that the same ? got the point now ?

idk... just seems like alot of asian martial arts are a whole lot of things that are complicated hard to perfect and circumstancial. Basicaly you would have to really be paying attention to know when the inside-outside cresent kick would work, not only that but tbh 99.9% there is a better attack than something that complex. To me something that is simpler is much better, Boxing, kickboxing and grapleing is all you really need to beat almost any one.

Really... This made me laugh. The fact that I'm 15 doesn't mean that I'm immature or I don't know my facts (which is probably what you're thinking).
Internet manuals can suck my dick. Seriously.
Unless you can get a 7th dan or higher to tell me the correct way to perform a Crescent is outer-inner too, I won't agree with you.
And even then, I'd still pick my teacher's (Omar Merodio) word since he sees Master Marano all the time. If there's any change in a move, we're the first to know about it.
XGhacker 2 years ago
You do know manuals aren't created by novices right? Also I could say I was taught by General Choi's son for godsake and would you believe me? Like I said, evidence will win you the case. Show me a proper crescent please, show me what Master Omar taught you.
F3BR3Z3Y 2 years ago
Well, first, he's not a master. As I said, he's 7th dan.
Second, feel free to Email him and ask him yourself (although, really, I think he's too busy for that)
Third, I don't give proof to anyone about anything. Everyone is free to believe anything.
XGhacker 2 years ago
XGhacker quit talking shit; your sorry little red belt ass doesn't know shit about anything.
He's doing a fucking crescent kick, not a round- you don't throw your hips over for it. Not to mention that he's doing a 540 demo kick, something your dumass can't even comprehend.
cooldudepro 2 years ago
It looks more like a circular/round, NOWHERE near crescent. Crescent goes from top to bottom, inner to outer (does not go for 360/540, for the last one).
XGhacker 2 years ago
Just keep your mouth shut.
A crescent kick can go inside-out or outside-in. IF you don't know that much you're taekwondo instructor sucks balls or you're just dumb. His kick is correct - quit talking about something you don't know.
cooldudepro 2 years ago
Perhaps you can't read? I said, that in 360/540 it goes outer-inner, and while on the floor, from inner to outer. ANYONE knows it.
Unless, a Crescent kick isn't what I'm thinking of, since I don't practice in an English speaking country, I may be getting confused with the names.
We are talking of the kick that goes from up-down, and hits with the back part of the foot, right?
XGhacker 2 years ago
Yes a 360 or a 540 are usually performed from outter to inner. While on the floor it does not matter if the crescent is going from in to out and vice versa, they both are still crescent kicks.
Your excuse is that you've been moving from place to place a lot and that causes you to lose practice? Why don't you just read your manual or browse the internet to help you further your education in TKD
Also, you haven't been practicing for too long? To achieve a red belt does take awhile.
F3BR3Z3Y 2 years ago
It does matter. It CAN be performed outer-inner on the floor, but the correct way to do it is inner-outer.
It's not an excuse, it's just that it took me longer to get used to the names and different practices of the places. That's all.
IMO, 3 years is nothing long. People practice TKD for 50 years, and a whole life time. So me practicing 3 years, in my eyes, is not a long time.
XGhacker 2 years ago
Correct way? Both are correct ways.You've received different teachings from different dojangs and maybe that is the reason why you have no idea what your talking about.
Only 3 years to achieve a red belt? What the hell is that. Were you given belts like how people hand out candy?
Also the people who spent 50 years in TKD are considered MASTERS, we aren't talking about masters are we. We're talking about your novice red belt ass that think your correct when everyone is telling you oppisite.
F3BR3Z3Y 2 years ago
"You've received different teachings from different dojangs and maybe that is the reason why you have no idea what your talking about."
This made no sense. If I received teaching from different people, wouldn't it make more sense to get taught both ways? I see you're misinformed.
Omar Merodio is a direct student of Master Marano (technique director of the ITF), so if there was any other way to perform the Crescent, him and his students would know way before anyone else.
XGhacker 2 years ago
Infact, they're organizing the World Tournament right now.
3 years is the usual time. It's obvious that you've got NO clue what you're talking about, or you simply fail. My exams have a 7 ~ 7.40 average score, and from blue. red to red I had to wait about half a year. MOST people who practice TKD archive red belt in 3 years or less.
No. Not everyone can archive Master category anymore. Max is 8th unless you've dedicated alot of your life into organizing and participating in TKD events.
XGhacker 2 years ago
It does make sense, if you were taught many ways to do something how would you know which is the correct way? Therefor you have no idea what your talking about.
What does Omar and Marano have to do with this? Are they your sensei? Is that what they taught you? Are those the words that came from their mouths?
Please give me some evidence atleast, maybe you could perform a "proper" crescent kick and than ill eat my own words, I'd love to see that day.
F3BR3Z3Y 2 years ago
No. I'm telling you I was taught in only one way, which is, while on the floor, inner-outer. At all places.
Omar is my teacher, Omar was a student of Marano, and works with him constantly. Making us one of the first few to know when something changes.
I've broke a 1 inch wood (I know that's not much) at my green.blue and blue exams with Crescent kicks. No, I'm not giving you a proof. I feel that's unnecessary.
Also, what's up with you using Japanese terms for a Korean martial art?
XGhacker 2 years ago
Unnecessary to provide proof to one's statement, hmm...that must be the reason why court cases are handled so easily. Pardon me for sidetracking off the main topic. Oh my apologies for the poor choice of words,yes sensei is Japanese. But you must understand there are more than one word for such things, I could of called him Sifu and the meanings would remain the same. Yes everyone is free to believe in what they wish to believe in, I am only stating FACTS whether you wish to believe them or not.
F3BR3Z3Y 2 years ago
Have you specifically asked your master whether the outside-inside crescent kick is considered a legitimate technique in TKD? I am curious what the response to that is.
1 other question: If you found yourself in a sparring situation where your body position and momentum move you so that the easiest/most effective kick was an outside-inside crescent on the ground, like if you sidestepped left and there was an opening on the right too small for a round kick, would you use the outside crescent?
slizzardman 2 years ago
I told you I have; It can be done, but it's not the correct way to do it. Like you can do a circular kick with the upper part of your fingers instead of the bottom. It CAN be done, but it's wrong from the technical aspect and is MUCH less effective.
@question: No I'd probably try to go through his back and land a circular/360 on the side of his head,
XGhacker 2 years ago
No, im not saying you must listen and do what everyone tells you but read up on it in your manual or the internet and you'll find out both ways are correct.
F3BR3Z3Y 2 years ago
*sigh* for god's sake, read above -_-.
XGhacker 2 years ago
Crescent kick is performed either inner-crescent or outer-crescent. Not everything is performed one way your narrow minded fool meaning this technique could be inner or outer. Whoopdie doo, your a red belt and your can apparently "correct" a black belt 3rd dan, can I ask you something mister? If you are such a professional why haven't you achieved black belt? Don't try to critique when you have no idea what your talking about.
F3BR3Z3Y 2 years ago
Check above for the reply.
As for the question, ever thought it's because I haven't been practicing for TOO long? AND I have switched countries and cities multiple times, making it harder for me in the exams (although I've never failed one)?

And how the fuck did this guy get to black belt, lets not even speak of 3rd dan.
Has anyone noticed that he doesn't get his hips in? (for the ones who don't understand: he doesn't straighten his back). He's supposed to get his hips in to be able to turn around completely and hit with the part below the fingers. He's hitting with the side of the leg. That is not an effective hit, and if he'd need to crack a wood with that kick, he wouldn't be able to.

The fact that you practice something doesn't mean you know what to use. In the streets, the 360, 540, descending, spinning kicks DO NOT HELP. My teacher, Omar Merodio, 7th dan told us this. In the street the technique does not matter, you've got to end the fight with one strike. Don't come with the wrestling, on the floor bullshit. If you end the fight in one strike, there's no reason to get to any of that.
XGhacker 2 years ago
Then I started fighting in the MMA world. I was good enough to where I couldn't get taken down unless I let it happen, and I could hurt a lot of people when they tried, but there was no such thing as a one technique fight ender, because when people are flying at you for a takedown you have to either sprawl and land on them, try to hit them as they come in, dodge out of range, or get taken down. If you try to hit them, most are well-covered and will end up grabbing you, and now you are wrestling.

In the street, you do whatever hurts the other person the fastest. You spit in their eyes, stomp the feet, bite, scratch, headbutt, and slam the head on the pavement if possible. Anything around that fits in your hand is fair game too.I've read through your comments on the first four pages, and you do sound immature for the most part. It's not a bad thing, but the comments you have posted range from somewhat reasonable to very immature. Have fun with your TKD, and keep learning!

the only time i would use a cresent kick in a fight is to block kicks that are to low for me to block with my hands. and of course i would use a standing cresent kick not a 540. i prefer the 360 hook kick or roundhouse for kicks to the head though. but thats just me being a jujitsu man myself
MilkWizard33 2 years ago
You're not supposed to block kicks, really, if you try to block them, most chances are you're getting hit. The best thing is to try to either:
A) Anticipate the kick. Get in close range so he can't kick you and punch him (face, preferably), get a knee to his ribs/ balls, elbow to the face.
B) Avoid it.

I appreciate his ability to do the kick, but he's not explaining actually how to do the 540 part of the kick. He's only explaining how to do the Crescent. I think most people agree the difficulty lies in the 540 portion of the technique. Expert Village needs to give people the time and space in their videos to properly explain these techniques.
