I have been training for just over 8 years. Thank you and i'm glad you liked it :)

[@jessieyu4863]

Hi Ginger, I learned traditional ITF from my master 2 years ago. ITF is like my life. But after my master went back to his country, I stopped training. Your taekwondo techniques look very much like what my master taught me. I am so glad to watch your video because that reminds me of my master. And I can learn ITF again! Thank you for those awesome videos!!!

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

I appreciate you saying that. Thank you and no problem :)

[@tobyranson2496]

best tutorial for this on KZbin most people just get it over really quickly but you go into detail .

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

I appreciate you saying that. Thank you :)

[@jessepinkman9330]

I wouldn't like to mess with this guy on a street fight ;)

[@donny5314]

Jesse Pinkman?

[@jacobcoryell8258]

Jesse what the hell are you talking about

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

I try my best to and reply when i can :) Have you checked out my spinning hook kick tutorial as that should help firstly? I also have an how to improve leg control which increases muscular endurance and dexterity in the leg to help with lifting the leg :) No problem and good luck :)

[@mrtruthforever]

One of the best instructors on the net. Thank you.

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

They are all in a playlist on my channel if that helps :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

I'm glad you liked it. Thank you :) Good luck with your future training :)

[@MagicPuncherGames]

Your balance is amazing

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

No problem :) I'm glad you liked it and I appreciate you saying that. Thank you :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

Really appreciate your compliments. Thank you too :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

Thank you :) That tutorial will be up in the near future :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

If you continue watching (at about 5mins in) i do explain if you want increased power and inflict a higher amount of damage then you make a bigger motion. The part you are commenting on, i am talking about light/semi contact which is about speed so you make it short because it's faster. Hope you understand that i can't just explain one version, that would be narrow minded of me. Thank you :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

No problem :) I know about both methods as i am never narrow minded. It does have advantages for reach, wrapping around,etc but the way i look at it is if you were to sit down and heel the floor a lot more pressure is put into the foot and ankle joint when pointing the foot forwards. When you flex your foot everything is tighter and stronger and when you hit the floor there is way less pressure.

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

Thank you :) Glad it helped and good luck with your future training :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

@Aden YANG I appreciate you saying that. Thank you :) No parrys aren't in Taekwondo. They are from my kickboxing training. I guessed you meant that and I do traditional ITF :)

[@paulxtreme]

Hi quick question I am returning to tkd after 9 years off they let me retain my belt at my new school however I am refreshing all the basics until im ready to grade. Im struggling with hook kick especially after many years off is there anything you can recommend to me to help my body remember

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

That's great! Keep going over the motions and stretch as your muscles will get used to the kick again. Follow the advice in the video to improve technique and good luck :)

[@katana1665]

GingerNinjaTrickster hi quick question how i get flexibility and speed for kicking

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

2neplays Check out my stretching tutorials for the flexibility and I will make a video on improving speed soon :)

[@katana1665]

thanks aden

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

Thank you. I'm glad you liked it :)

[@creativeaaditya2436]

I love the way you show a lot of examples of the kick about which the video is in the starting of the video....

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

Good luck :) Glad you like them and thank you. I will be making more, trying to upload at least two a week now :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

Really appreciate you saying that and thank you for your support :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

Thank You :) Really appreciate that :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

I appreciate you saying that and i'm glad it will help :) Good luck with your training :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

Thank you :) I appreciate you saying that and i will do my best to :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

I appreciate you saying that and I'm glad you think that. Thank you :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

I'm glad you think that and i appreciate your support. Thank you :) I have been training over 8 years. I still try to improve technique and make it efficient as possible for each situation so i don't consider them mastered. A few styles including Wing Chun, Thai Boxing, Kenpo, BJJ and a couple of others. No problem :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

Appreciate that comment. Thank You :) Good luck with your training :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

Thank you :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

No problem. I'm glad i could help. Good luck with your training :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

I'm glad you thought so and no problem :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

I'm glad you think so and no problem :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

Thank you :) I'm glad you do and that they have helped :) I have a tutorial on that so follow the pointers, keep working on it and i'm sure you will improve. Good luck :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

And thank you for your support :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

I appreciate you saying that. Thank you :) That's a good idea :) I will add it to my long list lol

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

I appreciate you saying that. Thank you :) That's unfortunate but i'm glad you have started again. Good luck with your training :) I'm 24 :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

Cool :) Will be making a spin hook kick tutorial soon which will probably be better for tricking as it's easier to flow to other techniques. Thank you :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

Thank You :) I will be uploading clips of me sparring and tips on sparring soon :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

That's great. Keep working hard and it will only get better, especially if you are stretching correctly along with your training :)

[@DoodlezMD]

Best TKD tutorials ive seen on youtube!

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

Thank you :) I have 2 stretching tutorials and will make more and other videos in the future to help gain height in kicks :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

No problem and I'm glad you like them :) That's unfortunate but i like your determination :) I have stretching tutorials up so try and follow those and if they are too difficult to do because of your hip, then simplify it or miss it out. Good luck :)

[@juang411]

Your tutorials are amazing!!! You can see so much thought and preparation went into them. They cover pretty much everything you need to learn and master the kick.

[@taekwondoista3697]

This is the best hook kick tutorial out there. Thank you so much. Love all the different uses of the hook kick. Because it was my hardest one starting out, I’m going to make it into my signature kick ;)

[@carlschnackel]

Awesome videos!!! I've been teaching TKD for about six years now and yours are about the most concise and simple methods of doing these complicated maneuvers I've seen. They don't just show me a better way to perform the movements, i.e. physics, etc., but they show me a better way to teach the movements than before. Thank you!

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

No problem and thank you for your appreciation my friend :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

As long as you create the angle. Thank You :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

Thank you for your appreciation :) I appreciate you saying that. Thank you :) That's great! Good luck with your future training my friend :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

I appreciate you saying that. Thank you :) I'm sure you will get it down with improved flexibility and practice my friend :) No problem and i'm glad you think it is well explained. Thank you :)

[@biohacking_athlete]

Still the best hook kick tutorial on the web, thanks!

[@infoxicated]

Another incredible tutorial - thanks so much for breaking this down. I lack the flexibility to go for this during sparring, but having the bio-mechanics of the kick explained is invaluable and gives me something to build to. Thanks again!

[@dogguyful]

Thanks Ginger Ninja Trickster in depth demonstration in 11 minutes.

[@jetli958]

Another amazing tutorial. You break down kicks so well and i am privileged to have came across your videos. Thank You!

[@davidrobertson5996]

[@C1audin]

Thank you for this. Was struggling and now I understand perfectly. Thanks for the help

[@Ngoquockhanh]

Very helpful tutorial! Thank you for teaching how to combine it with other kicks!

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

No problem :)

[@matkasim]

Best hook kick tutorial ever. Tq

[@samuelmahmud1909]

Thank you sir for breaking it down!🥋 I need help with the hook kick!

[@marconogueira2829]

As always... great job ! I am having all my students follow your videos.

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

In my opinion it's best to put your hand on a wall and practice standing so you train the base leg as well as the motion of the kick. Sitting down is still good for understanding the motion of the kick and to see where you are going wrong. Really appreciate you saying that. Thank you and good luck :)

[@hamwitch]

Thanks for the tutorial mate, I just recently started taekwondo and since i'm from a small school my master does 1 all belt class so i usually don't get this kind of detailed information it's really helpful.now hopefully i can use this information to improve my kicks.

[@i_love_crpg]

Im glad that my people spread tkd in the uk if it wasnt for a man like this guy right here i wouldnt have been able to understand this kick correctly thank you so much dude

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

No problem. Yea sure and thanks again :)

[@lazyemperor5546]

GingerNinjaTrickster...thanks for making the videos on kicking tutorials...and other great videos...i learn alot from those videos and yeah...i improve my basics haha...you deserve more subscribers btw hahah...

[@Nassru]

Awesome!

[@jetli958]

No probs. Love your attitude! I look forward to your spinning hook kick tutorial :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

Far from the best but I appreciate your support. Thank you :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

No problem :) It could be several reasons. The most common are kicking too early, too late, body positioning, etc. I'd have to see it to say specifically though. Good luck :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

Also, if you are hitting a target or boards there is less surface area so it digs in and causes more damage if you are accurate. Neither is wrong, it's just a matter of opinion. It's only wrong when you don't hit with the heel or flat of the foot for reach. Hope that helps my friend :) I use both. Flexed for destruction and pointed for reach as i mention in the video. Do you have any other questions about it?

[@yesodkhabbal2643]

hi I do... so i always heard to protect achilles you hit with the heel yes but always point the toes, never flexed, in kickboxing. so maybe that was wrong?

[@zacman587]

So detailed! thanks heaps.

[@mohdaquib6469]

thanks..GNT I'm really struggle with this kick your tutorial are best on you tube and also you are the best martial arts instructor on you tube thanks again for this tutorial GNT :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

mogwaiNAN No problem and i'm glad they are helping :)

[@randybobandy9702]

Thank you so much!!!

[@iFupTrolls]

Ok man, I know you read a lot of comments saying thanks and probably you get tired of responding to them so you don't have to respond to this but I really mean it. I'm a green belt so far and I receive praises from my master often about how quick I dominate new kicks being taught to me. As I said on my previous comment, this kick was the only one giving me problems, it was like I couldn't put any power behind it. But after watching your video, I discovered what I was doing wrong or rather what I was not doing and it was exactly what I needed to put more power behind this kick. I trained yesterday and told my master I wanted to work on my hook kick and he was very impressed with my progress and I told him about your channel. He is not a guy that uses the computer a lot but he said he definitely was going to check out your channel to see your vids and maybe recommend it to the other students (I did that already). All this long post was just to say thank you, you rock.

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

I'm glad that I could help and that you are progressing quickly. Thank you for recommending my channel and good luck with your future training :)

[@skoowy]

Wow, your amazing, very impressed. These techniques really helped me improve in sparring

Thanks a lot for the tutorial. It's so informative and you explain everything so well. I have only just started Taekwondo and was looking for the basic formation but it was great to see all of the variations, uses and progressions that go with it. I must admit that beyond the basic kick was a bit overwhelming however I'm excited to know that with time and practise I shall be doing all of these. Thanks again, much enjoyed :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

+Rae Angom I appreciate you saying that and i'm glad you found the video informative. Keep working hard and i'm sure you will progress swiftly :)
