Demonstration Kicking

[Gemini]

Who does them?

What's your favorite?

I love doing these. Not to get into the validity of the kicks themselves, this is just for fun. It gives me a great sense of accomplishmnet when I pull these off. At 47, it's not getting any easier, but I still don't think I've peeked.

Some of the harder ones I've done in the past are the 540 and the triple front snap. This Saturday, I'll be doing a triple side, which I've pulled off twice. Until I break a hip, this will always be one of the most fun things in TKD.

How 'bout you?

540 spinning hook kicks, jump spinning crescents, 360 roundhouses....all fun...

I recently did a twin front kick & punch break all in the air...that was fun...

I landed the 540 three times, but I kept injuring myself in unrelated events, and had to stop practicing it for a while. I do the twin front kick, 360's, jump split kick (the one where you jump straight up and kick with both legs to either side), and a whole lotta jump and/or spinning kicks.

I've done that one also, but the way I do it, it ain't pretty. :uhohh: So I dropped it. When done correctly, I could watch it 100 times over.

I recently did a twin front kick & punch break all in the air.

Just out of curiosity, where do you set up the board for the punch break?

 

[bignick]

So if you've got two holders in front of you for the front kicks...and then one in between them for the punch...I like my front kick holders a little wider and the punch at about my head or neck level. So basically the boards make a bit of a triangle...

My instructor had to do a twin front kick/double punch all in the air for his 4th degree...

I can jump and do 6 kicks on a bag before comming down, but my friend can do 8, still cant beat him. 540 i just got the hang of and im going to break a board with it in a few weeks. 360's i do them all the time no swet for me, my instructer trians me hard on them for speed and power, for tournament fighting. lol the hardest kick i thought i'd never get right was the side kick

 

[Laborn]

Are they normal breaking boards? lol. ours are 2 inches and are harder then normal boards, my instructer always tells me to train for something harder then you have to. But double front kick and 2 punch break all in the air? they must be real thin boards, cause i cant really see someone generating that much power from both sides at the same time, yet breaking with two punches.

I would assume they're standard breaking boards, but I'll let Nick answer that. Pretty impressive regardless.

Laborn, I'm working on 4 kicks before landing. If you have a vid of 6 or 8, I'd love to see it. I can't even think that fast, much less tell my body to do it.

You can jump in the air and 6 kicks before landing? That sounds unbelievable! Maybe i've not watched enough films or seen enough tkd or something but i didn't even know that was physically possible. I agree, get the video camera out cos i would like to see this!

Sweet, i can only do three :,(

The standard 1" boards...although I do know a couple of masters that have done it with multiple 1" boards at each position...

 

[Laborn]

Terry your son can do 8 kicks, are they effective kicks or just running up the bag? i can jump and do only 3 effective kicks before comming down. can only do 6 running up the bag lol

 

[Laborn]

Btw nick, these guys can do some of that too. http://www.compfused.com/directlink/665/
