Is that right? If its not can you tell me what to do please? :juji:

[kwantran]

uh..... no..... its really ugly....

suggestion:

don't do it from a running start. do it with right (or left) leg back and ready to kickass. bring ur back leg foward and turn with ur body. want to see target b4 jumping. kick up the leg but then chamber it then throw out a kick.

very vague description but don't do it from a running start. ur running, hopping, turning, landing, jumping and throwing ur legs not kicking them. you wanna kick.

[kristo]

Yeah, the running start is not needed in the least.

Kwantran - your whole discription is for right legged kickers - he's a lefty it looks like.

Start with your left leg back, step forward bringing your arms up, hop on the right leg a little (if you want - not needed, but helps some with the punch), step down on the left leg, rotating right, swing your arms down, around and up, and let the kick out. You've go tthe form right, but you should try it without nearly as much set up, it's not that difficult of a move. You might also want to work on your flexibility a little bit. Also, it looks like you're trying to do this, but use the first leg to get more height - you may have used it a bit too much, as your left leg kick is hardly higher than your right leg. Try to keep your legs straighter (again, flexibility).

IMPORTANT - you have like no room to move around in that room - go outside, find a gym, but you shouldn't have to worry about smacking something with your leg or anything - it will hold you back. Good luck, and keep it up.

your non-kicking leg should be bent, not straight. also, throw the non kicking leg up not out, and get rid of the running start. watch the 540 tutorial ont he main site, juji demonstrates a tornado kick

[Inkrepid]

You should die for posting a 35 second video of a tornado kick with screamo dubbed over it.

[musasabi]

ok... two big things that need to change here.

one, do it outside. or, at least, in an area where youre not going to have to worry about hitting the freakin fireplace, haha. tricks will very often work out surprisingly well when you can put your all into them... just throw every ounce of energy you can muster into that one movement, and it flows... so go outside where you can cut loose.

two, the entire takeoff is jacked (as has been previously mentioned). you can film yourself, obviously, so compare what youve got to juji's 540 tut. slowmo the tutorial and your execution, and compare them. be as detail-oriented as possible, and try to note every difference.

you can tell if something is "right". :tongue: does it look like the persons you want it to look like? haha. :swashy:

[tomek]

hahah its such a big deal

you even put bmth as the music, and a title.

[Benmatthews90]

that screamo made jesus cry

[kristo]

your non-kicking leg should be bent, not straight.

Purely preference. The straighter it is when he throws it up, the more momentum he'll get going UP. The bend comes later (if you so desire), which in the case of Juji's tut taht you pointed out, doesn't even happen. Youd odn't have to bend the non-kicking leg.

i give him props for taking the time to edit the video and not being a dick.

and i'm not sure about the music, but is that bring me the horizon?

[Olzme]

Umm No You have to swing it up and side ways... not just up and.... ERmmm.... hard to explain....
