So this is one of the first of hopefully more to come tutorial videos. I most likely won't be covering too many jumps and acrobatics. I'm gonna be doing more of martial arts tutorials, but since this was a request from some friends of mine, I was more than happy to.

Anyways, here's the steps for the 540 hook.

Step 1: Finish your rotation before jumping. If you jump to early, your kick might end up landing too early (I messed up when I said "your kick will land late" in the video)

Step 2: Use your right knee and swing over as if you were doing a kick (or left knee if you're spinning the other way. This will help you get a mush faster rotation.

Step 3: Just kick haha I hope you have a good spin kick.

And there you have it. Soon enough you'll learn the 540 hook. I was unhappy with my 540 in the video but I was too lazy to do a good one, but I hope you get the idea.

Live Free and Train Hard!

  • one thing he doesnt talk about is that when you are practicing the spin make sure that the foot that you are kicking with doesnt touch the ground before your other foot

  • @bullshark102

    That's because it's obvious. It'd be much harder to try and land with the kicking leg than the non-kicking leg.

  • I can't get the kick off yet, but got the rotation down like you show in the video. But when i land on the right leg it starts hurting in the muscles around the shinbone. Is that normal and will pass in time or am i messing thing up?

  • @Thalkalylth

    You have something called shin splints. Read up on wikipedia

  • haha i play nuchucks with my towell too!!!

  • @BacKick but since it is the leg you lift first it would be the natural tendency to land on it first especially since im used to doing tornado kicks

    and i wasnt talking about performing the kick but when im practicing just the spin

  • 00:50 Priceless :)

  • hey i got the spin and the kick, but i cant seem to jump high enough or spin fast enough to land it on my foot, i always land it in a crawling position with my hands on the floor, help please

  • good tutorial, short but I can learn more from this then from tuts 5 mins long. THANKS

  • Nice vertical you got there. I'm sure that helps with the kick too, right?

  • great tut

  • sik
