okay..
i've worked on my 360 crescent a lot, but only with my right leg. i can't seem to swing it high with my left leg, because i'm not used to it.
before i start, should i focus on doing the kick with my left or right leg? i read a lot about it, seeing as it is a lot like the 540 kick. . . so should i just learn it with my left leg? or should i learn a new take off so i can use my right leg? can someone make or link me to a tutorial, please?
and yes, i looked on the main site for the link. . . but i'm still not understanding it...

btw. . . here's a link to my 540 kick if you were wondering.

im glad im being recommended!

540crescents are a pain in the ass... theyre a nice technical move that you have to use timing alot more than power.

practice practice practice, thats all i can say :good:

Yeah, the 540 crescent is damn annoying, I spent about 2 months with constant training, before I got it down good:sad:

Drill it and be patient!:smile:

Ps, if you can 540 with right leg, It will be easier using your left leg, because of the setup!

thanks for the type shao.
i was contemplating whether or not i should learn with my stronger kicking leg.

its better to do it to the side your doing the 540 not only because of the
setup
but because u need to be able to use both of your legs
and its better for combos.
train it because its the move that will enable u to learn more really cool
kicks like the 900 and jackknife that are amazing!
