any tut for jack knife?

[andrep182]

hey guys, just wondering if there was any tuts for jack knife? i can do 540 pretty well i could say, but still can't really get jack knife just yet, is it just a matter of putting more rotation into the 540? or do i have to sacrifice the height of my 540 kick so i can tuck it back in faster and rotate into jack knife?

Yep, I did one that's ok, here is the link:

It's second from the bottom, and here's what I would've done differently

1.Practiced this move before I made a tutorial on it
2.Emphasized the importance of the timeline when doing this trick:

when you jump, you leave the ground, there's a portion of your jump where you're on the way up, then you peak, then there's a portion where you're on the way down before you land. In order to do the jacknife, you should try to finish your os540 BY THE TIME YOU PEAK so that you can spend the time on the way down turning over and throwing the kick.

His help vids are supremely helpful :good:

Scalco made a jacknife tutorial. Won't do any good, because you'll just constantly cream your pants while you're watching, but I'll see if I can find it.

Well I can't do it yet either but I guy at my gym kept stressing that the first kick must be extremely fast, theres probably not much more to it than that.

Use your arms. Throw them up for height, then after the first kick rip them across violently.. and tadaaaa.
