[@myplasmalily]

It actually works....just try the basic diagonal kick with a twist to the left (if right knee used) but jump with your left foot first before doing so. This gives you the spin then jump then do the axe/crescent kick ...in mid air.

[@dagdagger86]

hey i been seeing your vid for 2weeks and it really worked i finally can do it

Very good job

[@lulu21tmntlover27]

i like how you explain

[@turkmaktu4410]

amazing year

[@mojokicks09]

yeah ! got it ! and nailed it !

[@qiankundanuoyi1]

@StitchBeatbox there are different styles. But in wushu the tornado kick lands with the kicking leg, splits or horse stance, the 540 tornado lands with both legs though,but same, into splits or horse stance is also possible.

[@dubya13207]

i was taught it slightly differently, as a fake-out for a spinning crescent kick. if you think of it that way, its use becomes more apparent. think of starting in a back stance, and doing a spin outside crescent with the back leg, but instead of extending you use the momentum and the same springy grounded leg to bring up an inside crescent. did that come out right? basically, a fake-out with a powerful impact is the result

[@sasdagreat8052]

[@naruhodoyabaine]

Thank you so much 🙌❤️

[@pannalalbanerjee1723]

I can do this now thank you

[@Hewkll]

Thanks, your vids are useful

[@Kantokin]

haha man ur so thorough its awsome! hahah props for you!

[@Axel_Doing_Stuff]

Actually the axe kick comes up way above the opponents head and comes straight down on either the top of their head (ouch) or maybe chest area. the Crescent kick comes up but moves from left to right (or right to left), as if to hit the side of your opponent's face, and can also be used to swat away their defence. So yeah, theyre both totally different kicks

[@malikgolden809]

thxs finally found out how to do it

[@blah_blah..99]

Uploaded in 2008 and I'm watching now, 29 Dec 2019😁😁 too good👍

[@kosMusashi]

yes, your videos aer very very usefull...

[@2mitches]

Looks like he does Wushu. Great demo on tornado kick!

[@brindeshacharya09]

I learned so fast

[@Muitoloko420]

eu parei de lutar wushu moderno a 1 ano , e não conseguia dar mais esse chute esse video me ajudou muito

[@bahalentuti9049]

Nice video

[@2411DOG]

when using this in tournaments are you supposed to strike with the in step or the foot?

[@ehtishamamin5960]

Its quite useful

[@parahumanoid]

Now what I'd like to see is a tornado that ends with a roundhouse, rather than a crescent. It does require a more powerful spin and a slightly different body position at the moment of delivering a strike. Preferably in the end have a full speed demonstration on a bag or something, so that we can see the actual power being put forth. Thanks.

[@albertllaphan]

@OrdoPsykana it depends on the person, but to me it feels pretty natural. i guess it could be pretty deceptive because of the jump and the rotation, the other person wouldn't know what to expect.

[@kperks3683]

thanks man

[@vinnymar]

Great thanks

[@krishnachandrasekhar]

can anyone please tell where is this how to jump properly video he is talking about

[@MyIndra22]

Well how to get more rotation while in the air? Get 720 xuanfengjiao?

[@GuiltyxSniper]

[@mohammedjunaid2394]

Well it is a pain in the ass for guys like me that have hugh thighs, Pacific Islander problems

[@a55kiko74]

You're not a Pacific Islander, you're Asian. Accept it.

[@mohammedjunaid2394]

I'm from Fiji

[@Xanderci__]

hi i want you to suggest. you make a video a basic martial arts move can you do it?? i want it to learn because i have to self defense and i can challenge my enemy... please.. no kj ty...

[@cmale123]

my best advice in fighting in self defence is don't get hit or grab. is hard to hit a moving target even someone with guns. is can't avoid it block it. if you could hit him and he can't hit you win the fight. plain simple. this kick is kinda useless if you can't hit the target. ip man say it doesn't matter the move unless you hit the target. that not a easy thing to do

[@dagger810]

thanks for the tip, node in going to do this tho my enemies

[@pikacho456]

awesome thankyou

[@arifansari3859]

bhai veer good video hai

[@johnj397]

[@excellentpublicschoolsecra6844]

Strong punch

[@TheAverageGamer_CJ]

hey man i need help my non kicking leg lands before i even kick or half way through my kick

[@nikashikhashvili6456]

nice kick

[@HeIIyessbuddy]

@YoungTaTa85 did you try getting the muscles to jump high enough?

[@DystopicEdits]

Wait what did he say at the start? I didn't learn how to "jump up properly"

[@Digitalman271]

@Hastalamangousta THANK YOU!!! I needed that lol.

[@xbackdownx99]

you make it look easy i tried doing this kick with land on one leg its hard and i hurt myself couple of times

[@SambaScramble]

Not sure if it would have helped me learn this kick if I had watched it when I was practising wushu 2 decades ago. But this would have been waaaay more helpful than what I did back then, which was rewinding tapes and watching the athletics jump in slow motion. All my various coaches could tell me was to kick fast...kick faster...and kick even faster. Never did get it. 😅 With all due respect to my coaches, I think this guy makes more sense. By the way, wushu is more of a preforming arts than combative. The prettier and more advance your moves, the higher score you get. This is not to say it is not useful but one has to learn how to apply it and for it to be useful, it's probably not going to look exactly the same as the routine. Most people I know personally don't try to learn how to apply it in a combat. We just want to look cool. 😎

[@chaitanyanegi2296]

this kick in karate is called kirsann kick I learnt it a few months ago now im good at it

[@madhupal6372]

Cool!!!!

[@betterwithage3864]

I would never use this in a real fight however I would definitely use it to show off.

[@clazredwolf3366]

I already know how to do it.. i was checking if he did it right

[@yukeshmaharjan1514]

i think this is the prerequisite to the perfect 540 kicks

[@reinekoneko4156]

Gonna learn all his move if i can lol because my place so dangerous right now :)

[@just_a_dump]

Great

[@Sketcher86]

I Remember this guy being featured on Deadliest Warrior - Maori vs Shaolin Monk episode.

[@sweem001]

simple kick, just hard to use because its easy to dodge. i like to throw a spinning back kick feint and spring off the kicking foot.. if that makes sense

[@shubhhamsubba7314]

Nice

[@SilentGunman1]

Where did you get those pants?

[@SgtChidori]

Just my opinion for those who are confused if this is taekwondo or not, almost every fighting style with kicks in asia includes a tornado kick, or at least it does now, it may not have been originally. But judging by the way he shifts his weight and the way he does his kick, I believe that he learned a style originating in china. The tornado kick i do most is usually seen in muay thai (almost opposite of this, all your weight is in your leg and it LOOKS uncontrolled and strong)

[@Digitalman271]

Im confused, which leg do you kick with?

[@oppuandriodking9455]

tnank you

[@rollandb1767]

Everyone has so many problems when they see the name of a kick that is not the same as they were taught. Guess what? Their are more than one martial art in this world. Even within certain martial arts their are different styles of them. They all have the same kicks but call them by different names. Quit being so critical and just learn, practice, and train hard.

[@lilaevelyn3775]

i now how to do this

[@Xhunter313]

I did a tornado kick to a guy i was fighting i lost my balance when my foot touched his face and fell.... The other guy got knocked out cold. Im a hero in my class right now.

[@bullshark67ify]

nice

[@YoungTaTa85]

I Dont understand , everytime i try i land too early. i cant get and stay in the air long enough to actually complete the kick. What am i doing wrong ? Someone please help !

[@KimiCars]

its working

[@maddy1255]

I do taekwondo sooooo very helpful

[@heeyoo9852]

This is not taekwondo..I might wrong but this one seems some kind of chinese martial art like kung fu.

[@ThErEsIsTaNcElEaDeR1]

btw this is a pretty good guide, but you forgot to mention that you only jump to kick when the knee that you pick up before the kick is pointed towards your target that way you actually kcik what you're aiming at

[@bonefulcyclone4357]

I do this in my kung fu class sometimes. Usually i forget to jump before i kick. Or i just fall.

[@harshitavishwakarma7701]

Tell me some stretches

[@nmbrrr77]

I might need this if danger comes to me, friends, or family
