DO'S AND DON'TS - LEARNING TO KICK WITHOUT MARTIAL ARTS BACKGROUND

[@johzuke1]

20 years ago when tricking was just being born most people doing it were martial artist. These days most people doing tricking don't have a martial arts background and it really shows. Instead of the focus being on kicks and supplementing them with twists and flips it's in general vice versa. Kicking is not easy to learn properly without years of work on the basics. It's possible though. In this video I try to give my best tips on how I learned to do it and what I was able to learn on my journey.

U didn't took martial arts? Wow and your kicks are so astounding

[@lars.tricking]

The quality of this video is astonishing!!🔥🔥

[@nmyonn2850]

I only do my static stretches 3 times a week, because i do notice they ruin my knees and the joint between the hips and thigh, making it hard to do warm up kicks and actually practicing tricks, but i can’t seem to find anything in the internet related to where my leg stretches can be harmful. So I’m really glad to know now that for sure static stretches don’t necessarily help.

[@johzuke1]

Don't worry man I have had exactly the same issue with the hip joints after static stretching. That's just one more reason to not overdo them.

[@sangnguyenminh4484]

Nice bro. You just saved me from focusing so much on this static stretching during warm up :D

I can learn this from your video because I make too much muscles in my thin legs and really that helps me a lot Thanks to you for sharing your experience to us

This video is really dope and helpful! I'm 24 years and i'm starting tricking right now and i'm going to get it 🤟💎💥

[@gianglongngoc7610]

wow this is really helpful. I've been watching your videos for quite some time now but this is the first time I've commented. I really appreciate all the knowledge you have been giving through this channel. keep it up!

[@anmolshende8382]

I am not from a martial arts background and was thinking to get my splits , but now I don't think it's worth it. Thanks for those leg raises and warm ups I will surely start my session with those .❤️❤️

[@johzuke1]

It's not gonna guarantee good kicks for sure. If splits are the goal train the splits but if the goal is to have the most powerful kicks, splits are not gonna be the most important thing to concider.

[@tomergazit1179]

Very helpful video, clears a lot of things up. Thanks

[@mhr7597]

👌Thanks man

[@michaldeeboss]

Beautiful ❤️ video ❤️thank you

[@mhr7597]

I dont know now becuase i dont start yet😅😅 thanks for now I try to get mor fexibiblity and strange

[@mhr7597]

[@Shaolinsuresh]

I'm a martial artist from India and I have gymnastics background too, I have trained c540,c720 and btwist kicks too c1080 is my ultimate goal but a couple of years back I injured my right knee cartilage and couldn't do practice for 2 years and am slowly starting now and your videos and the details you have in your tricks are mesmerizing me, thanks for inspiring me to come back again to my sport , pls let me know your list of injuries and age too😅 😅

[@johzuke1]

This comment is copied from my video "MY TRICKING PROGRESSION 2011-2020": "Through my journey I have had to adjust my tricking style according to the situation. My list of injuries is huge: 1. Knee hyper-extension (in 2011 and 2014) 2. Ankle injuries (left in 2013, right in 2017) 3. Hamstring injuries (2013) 4. Nerve injury in my shoulder (2013 and 2017) 5. Hip-flexor injury in total 3 times (2013, 2015, 2016) 6. Heel injury (2014) 7. Shin splints for 1 year straight (2014) 8. Torn ACL (2016) and torn meniscus (2016 and 2019) 9. Ball of foot injury (2018-2019)" Still, I have never given up on being a tricker. Instead I have made adjustments in my training style and kept going. I just love tricking too much!" So many injuries but not any recently.

[@sabninandessalegne9646]

WoaW!

[@TrickingGR]

Thank you for sharing. ❤️ We have very similar views on the topic. Even the basic kicks, like 540, are quite hard! It makes sense because only black belts used to do them at first... Nowadays my students learn fulls and even corks before being able to 540. Not that we don't work on it. It just takes more time for the body to adopt to this stress (jump + kick + land on the same leg). How would you say a jacknife compares in difficulty/complexity to cork variations? Is it on the same level as cork or closer to double cork in your opinion?

[@johzuke1]

Glad to see this! 😊 Man I think corks and flips in general are way easier to learn than some of the "basic" tricking kicks especially for children without a kicking background. Comparing jacknife to dub cork is not really possible haha. It's way too different and when it comes to many kicks doing them badly is easy and doing them well is super hard. For me jacknife and J-step boxcutter are pretty much same effort.

[@TrickingGR]

@@johzuke1 Good point, thanks for the input! Barely doing something vs doing it well is a world of difference in terms of effort required.

[@loganator2688]

What a coincidence because the same day that you posted that I started trying to learnt first kicks for tricking

[@johzuke1]

Good trainings!

[@avickderevko]

saw your story on instagram and love everything about it! i will be doing leg lifts in every direction as much as i can!:) thanks! btw, im not sure what to call you. What is your name😅

[@davidfreel1451]

Static stretching is a ALWAYS SAFE when you do it LAST. The reduced muscle tone will NOT last past a good sleep. The habit of arranging sessions with long held static holds FOLLOWED BY some HIIT work is crazy and will definitely be what injured you. Lots of great content here thanks, just be carefulw with blanket statements that are only half true.

[@rasmitamaharana1777]

Can you make a video of Parkour

[@johzuke1]

I never do parkour

[@Mucydonia]

in terms of working out, What is the best method and the most effective way to condition or workout for tricking? Static holds or repetions of various exercises

[@johzuke1]

I would say that there is no one good method. Anything that support one's style of tricking and adresses the weak links one has. I might make a video on this topic one day because it has not been adresses properly by anyone at least to my knowledge.

[@ferooztrickster4663]

Bro i have a question about kicking . I m good in kicking .but sometimes when I did spinning kicks like vanish 900 ,900 720 k my brain spins and dizzing.but not all time . What is the problem bro.

[@johzuke1]

Lack of experience I'd say

[@osamardi7836]

also spotting, try to spot the target for as long as you can

[@avivpk]

can i ask at what age you started to train ? i'm 28 and i want to know if i can improve and get to a decent level..

[@johzuke1]

I started when I was 15. You can only try and see. If you have a lot of free time for training and your recovery habits are on point, you can learn a lot. Most important is the passion for training.

[@cruzoguz474]

Alright here’s a question, if you had to stretch only one muscle before every tricking session, which one would it be? so like groin, hamstring, back-etc

[@johzuke1]

For me probably my groin but everyone is different

[@Riteshtrickster]

When I used to do kicks my lower body part starts paining specially thigh bone 🦴 .could u plzz figure me out? ...love from INDIA 🇮🇳❤️

[@johzuke1]

Sorry, if it's not technique and intensivity related I can't really help.

@@johzuke1 no prblm brother . I'll do tricks in spite of pain 😈💪

[@madness.squrrel]

I 39 old and after every training my ligaments and joints hurt 🤷

[@johzuke1]

It's a shame. Might have to lover your difficulty and really focus on the techniques extremely hard like I adviced in the video. The older you are the less bad technique one can handle.

[@madness.squrrel]

@@johzuke1 I know.I learn just basic level.I can't to do even cork and full,🤷b-twist to.But I want to do this tricks. Very sad that I can't return my 20years 😒

[@Limbaugh_]

I do martial arts but it’s Muay Thai so we don’t kick like trickers

Yeah every discipline has different styles
