Apparently youtube staff is filled with morons. Someone flagged this video as if it would breach their copyrights and despite the fact that only I posses any copyrights for this video, since it is produced by me and only I am seen in the video, the youtube staff deleted the video and threatened me with closing down my channel if I continue uploading copyrighted stuff. They don't answer my emails so I just upload the video again. So now you know, that in case my channel is shut down, it is because I actually am property of somebody else with my body and soul, youtube thinks so at least.
Step-by-step:
1. You kick with your LEAD LEG! and the turning motion is performed with the BACK FORWRAD! Very obvious but there are people who still confuse it.

2. Your kicking leg should be bent, Lead the swinging/suppporting leg as close as possible to the calf of the kicking leg. This initiates the turning motion.

3. Turn around on the ball of your kicking foot untill you clearly see the target again. The looking at the target serves as control if you turned around enough to launch the kick.

4. Jump up from the kicking foot on the supporting foot and perform a round house kick. The supporting foot must be planted at the time when the kick hits the target.

Important notes:
The kick is technicaly simple, though not very easy.

The major aspect of the kick is to transfer the motion force in to the kick, this requires a lot of repetition and adjustments.

Keep your kicking leg bent, it lowers your center of gravity which helps you with the stabilization of the rotating motion and you need a bent leg to actualy jump for launching the kick.

Although it seems that way this is NOT a jumping or flying kick. Try to reduce the time in the air to minimum if you want to bring force into the kick and be sure to stand on your supporting leg when you hit the target. At any split second that you spend in the air you lose force.

If you can't bring the hips into your kick, and hit the target with your knee showing up, you need to turn around much more before you launch the kick. Some people would jump highr to have more time to bring in the hips, it could work but as I said above it costs force.


The swinging leg controls the length of the kick. It should be lead very near to the kicking leg. Leaving it close to the kicking leg within the motion leads to a short kick, pointing it towards the target makes the kick long.

    Dude I was making a complement to the creator of this video. And just because I post cod and halo on my channe, it doesn't mean that is who I am as a person, so honestly don't speculate based on what a person has on his channel, just please, take my comment on what its for. Please don't insult my dad.

  • @MrFuzzyPandaGaming

    STRANGE!

    Your dad is Mr. Superfighter and instead of doing some Taekwondo/Karate/Boxing/MMA whatever you play CoD and Halo? You are right with your statement but we aren't as stupid then that. You are a normal guy with a normal dad, sorry for that :)
