Spinning hook kick tutorial version 1

This is version 1.
Version 2 is here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ri9T0sEIkRM


Step by step, basics:
Turn around 180°
bend the supporting leg a little
stick your butt out
watch over the shoulder
the upper body rotates somewhat in the kick direction

hold your kicking leg loose but straight
throw it in an arcuated motion
stretch the supporting leg
the hip leads the motion not the leg!
bend down your upper body
the angle between supporting leg and body should not be under 110°-120°
the shoulder/scapula point to the target

shortly before the foot reaches the target rotate the upper body in the opposite of the kick direction while flexing the gluteus which give the leg the last bit of acceleration

when hitting the target the leg is straight
after hitting the target you can bend the leg or just swing it out

Practice the kicking motion on the wall like it is shown in the video, while doing it make sure both of your hands are on the wall when you do the kick and release them only as soon as you "hit the target", other wise you could over turn the body which would mess up the whole technique. Don't swing the arms too much. If the basic technique works try to begin the kicking motion while turning around as it is shown around sec. 00:40 into the video, faster.

any questions: ask.

@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.

@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.

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

@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!

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!

[67DieHardPatriot454]

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