[goar132]

[ifolman]

[pilystation]

is that a black suit for tkd?

[SantoryuWazamono]

how are you supposed to hit someon with his kick? ive been dongTKD for almost five years but ive never hit someone wih it in sparring. whenever i start spinning they see it coming and back up.

[93219290]

se supone que termino de frente y no dando la espalda por que si no alcanzo el objetivo a patada a la cabeza va si o si o me equivoco?

[cooldevansh1]

[bunkabunklps123]

pppppplllllllllllleeeeeeeeeeea­aaaaaaaaaaassssssssssseeeeeee bbbbbbbbeeeeee mmmmmmmmmyyyyyyyyyyyyyy tttttttteeaaaaaaaaacccctttttte­eeeeerrrrrrrrrrr

[DestannDLC]

This is not a tornado kick!? 

[azwagurlz]

Hoi, just like Ayul kick

[GabrielKai]

this is not proper this is all wrong :/

[pownage967]

aye poker thts a real tornado kick nawta 360 dood...

[pownage967]

soooo eeeeasyyy!! :]

[theartbook35]

Very informative. This version of the tornado kick is a great deal easier that the Japanese Kenpo version... Giving my short stature when I was very young, the tornado kick was not easy to learn. We had to come up with a way for me to perform each jump kick in a 3 step sequence in order for me to advance to the next belt. I'm sure given I am twice the size I was when I was 7 years old, that I can probably learn this again if I try hard enough.

[GIwillo]

i think it is not really neccessary if it is a back kick or a hook kick.you have to dodge both.so who cares?!but nice kick though

[1998bigben]

I thought that was wushu or kung fu

[TheGameSoviet]

There is no power in this you need to do more like a wushu tornado kick;drive your body into the kick then do the round house kick

[tuzgureanu1]

your kick it's wrong because you must land facing the opponent, not with your back

[Kelsie12041]

I guess what you call a "Tornado Kick" is what I call a "Reverse Turn Jumping Roundhouse Kick" because that doesn't look like a Tornado Kick. Solid Kicks though.

[poker0315]

not a tornado kick that's a 360 round house

[NomGnome97]

@poker0315 It is a tornado kick because a roundhouse kick does not have jump to it!

[SantoryuWazamono]

@poker0315 same thing

[TheTobiramaSenju]

i thought a tornado kick was when you jumped -_- and did that

[gaffelnskje]

this was good... the only thing that is bad with this kind of kick, is that it is easy to avoid or block.

just keep your guard high, or take a few steps backwords....

[strandnugget]

dont show your back to the opponent or you will get kicked in the rear

[adam5metcalfe]

Kick... OH

[ShezStillViva]

Every Time He Said "Snap" i Could Just Imagine That Dude Snapping His Ankle ...Ouch, I Gotta Learn This

[TheMiSk0]

Look the video at 1.30 , 1.55 you see ''tornado kick''. And you can see side kick and horse spining back kick kombination...

[mortalfredo]

HO.E!

[mortalfredo]

HOE!

[TaylorSwift645]

I need to learn this for my belt test >.<

[ahmednabil]

great , good technique , comsistency in technique with both legs .

why do you "kiai" (dont know what you call the yell in tkd ) after kicking, shouldnt you kiai through it ?

[ehsh54a]

turning force + muscle power = death.

[charicachica]

I like this uniform. Looks like hwoarang in tekken. btw very nice kick. this could be useful in our upcoming tournament. tnx!

[nickkardakos1]

this idiot is holding the target wrong xD

[mpvand]

da mit kannst die kniescheibe ein weg picken aber sonst nicht wirklich was anderes XD

[youresooookewlll]

Thats not a tornado kick. a tornado kick is just like that except the foot u kick lands on the ground first. its extremely difficult and requires a very strong core to keep u spinning so u can land yur kicking foot first. these people r full of shit. SO many videos that lie

[MichaelRayzord]

Oh this is the best Tornado kick I've seen...! Although I've mastered half of it... ( I can only kick to Chest Level) The kick is very fatal... Especially when executed at the Head or The Sides.

[spareaxe]

Okay...so how do you effectively counter this kick? Besides the obvious by either moving back to either side or closing the distance. Thanks.

[qmatkd]

@spareaxe if the kick is done correctly with a good fake or motion, you wont counter. you will off balance. but if you see it coming, of course a simple lead lead side kick can knock the kicker off balance as he is turning. this is actually a nadabon kick or 360 round house.

[krypekeeper]

@spareaxe you can very effectively counter this kick with a spinning heel kick

[uncomphrensive]

@spareaxe Maybe the easiest and fastest way is to make a skip step back (not to much thou) and then hit the opponent with a pit chagi on his back. That would be called counter pit chagi. Im no pro yet so i could be wrong :P

[Kelsie12041]

@spareaxe It depends on what martial arts you are doing because each one has different rules on how you can fight/spar. Sometimes I block the kick with my arm and then follow up with a punch/kick. I normally just move away until the kick is done and then follow up with any punch/kick. I've never done this in a match due to rules but twisting their leg to take them down is another option. [I'm a 2nd degree black belt in Taekwondo and Karate]

[BACKWARDSgameREVIEWS]

@spareaxe 1 big thing alot of martial arts forget is that you have your hands and more importantly your eyes. This kick is wide and obvious just put your hand(s) out there and block it with watever martial art you know. This is a flashy move and easy to block. If your strong another thing you can do is kick their leg while there kicking at you it will make you look like a total bad ass and them an idiot for throwing such a flashy move at you.

[heroshima2]

@spareaxe a well timed side kick can counter this

[Archer2514]

@spareaxe There are several ways to stop this kick. As it's a full spin involved it can sometimes be slow, and generally speaking you will notice a fair amount of telegraphing with shifting of the front leg to start the spin. This is a chance to get in close so the kick cannot connect properly. Or a well placed side kick the the body will knock the opponent off balance while in mid spin. Sometimes afterwards, you'll find that the opponent will land off center. It can wear down energy quickly too

[kidchino2]

Nice

[cotterill1]

Looking around on youtube some people through tornado kick hitting with lead leg some with reverse leg. both look good will try them both.

[SilentRaeth1]

I've always been taught to get the leg up a little higher for the back leg. I think makes the spin a little tighter together and quicker. Still having to dodge his would be fun.

[Andreith24]

the best tornado kick tutorial video on youtube. Kudos man ;)

[stungunshock]

whaaoooooW

[agueroabc]

Wooo

My favorite Kick and the only from the most difficult that i can do

wooo

[Galandrel]

accidentically kicked my trainer in the head once >_>

[AnthonyIndonesiaRulz]

Man at my Black belt Taeknowdo Test I have to break a wooden bord with this kick its SOOOOOOOOOOOO HARD

[prototype615h]

ho!

[greytale]

Fantastic tutorial. I love watching (and listening to) this gentleman's tutorials.

[kareldegrote1224]

it is but its low, its not for show but really for fights, some people make them look nice by jumping high and stuff but this is just effective but low

[ringwurm2000]

i dont know. i think if i used this kick in an actual fight i would kick them in the head and end the fight, thus being effective and head high.

[Grimking1991]

you obviously dont know wat a t kick is

[matthewtop]

i wish this kick was good for mma and not just martial arts like taekwondo because its soooo cool

[frost310]

used properly it can be...and will be....as every few years we're seeing more actual mixed martial ARTISTS come along....it's bound to happen....because this kick applied properly is just simply great and effective.

[frrface]

its not a tornado kick but it looks powerful

[comemeelnavo12]

you re wrong it is a tornado kick

[niggaplease20006]

nice good tips as well

[kushlion]

this is not tornado kick. you have to be in air for tornado kick. this guy is just doing a spin kick.

more like a roundhouse kick

[wasabi622]

nah, you don't have to be in the air in order for it to be a tornado kick.

a tornado kick is basically a fancy spin roundhouse anyways.

[Sabre809]

This seems like a good technique...I've always wondered. Can you be a good martial artist even though your self trained? I-I can't afford a teacher and most of my skills come from watching videos like these.

[WhirlwindWerewolf]

Yeah uh, I saw this self-trained dude and his stuff seemed pretty satisfactory, but you're going to be missing out if you don't have someone to guide you. Do you have any friends that did martial arts, and if so will they be willing to help you? Sometimes you can get technical stuff down by yourself, but an understanding of things really is crucial.

[HwkEy]

I could do that in my highschool..

Now i really have no idea how to do that

LOL

[rons100]

i feeling dizzy when i try it but i will practice practice makes perfect^_^

[aikifan77]

Don't allow your head to turn until the last moment. Keep 'eye' contact until the very last moment then allow the head to catch up with the body as you launch the kick. This minimises the dizziness

[Ammzii]

i can do this (:

[tkdwar76]

If this is TKD what's with the uniforms?

[awtkd]

Thanks for your comment. Many Taekwondo schools adopt different colored uniforms that represent varies achievements. As far as competition is concerned, you will see our students in traditional white uniforms. Keep in mind, the current WTF uniform has also evolved from the traditional fold over uniform. Thanks again.

[jcobbs80]

FINISH HIM!! Nice kick!

[TKDJIUJITSU]

he execute his kick, very good..its great, .i knocked my opponent using that kick.. straight to the head!..^^

[kyausmar]

its not a hook kick is a jump round kick. hook kick hits with the back of the foot not the front like a round kick (roundhouse kick)

[awtkd]

Thanks for your comment. Listen to the video again. I don't say it's a hook kick, I say you can fake like it's a hook kick.

[kyausmar]

oh ok thanks sorry for not listing. lol good kick though

[erjorgitoxdxdxd]

damn.. i can understand english very good... im latinamerican!

[awtkd]

Good luck! Let me know how you do.

[beaten2heaven]

dude this vid helped me alot to perfect my tornado kick, now i can use this in my next tornament so ty

[tutanhamon13]

I make the tornado kick higher up in the air. My  tornado kick strikes maximum 2 meters high.

Sometimes I fall, and that hurts...

[awtkd]

That's great! This video is more for sport application. Most techniques in sport TKD will be thrown to the body. On the other hand, it's good to practice to the head to acquire that 2 point head shot.

[crazyTKDskwerl]

awesome!! i love the breakdown and thorough explination of the technique! =)
