keep drilling that its honestly not that bad at all for ur 1st day just use your arms more and kick your legs harder but that'll come with time

take ur shoes off

You seriously think it will help?

Because later, if i CAN trick i want to do these tricks with shoes too :p but ill try it tomorrow with no shoes ;)

[Inkrepid]

Your doing your kick as if kicks are a awkward thing for you. It might help to drill round house kicks a little too.

Take thos CHAV shoes and shirt off for christs sake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

Haha, it helps a lot! It's quite good for the first day of practising it! Now, dip down a little bit and go straight up, use everything to go UP! Your arms, upper body, non kicking leg. One motion, BOOM, UP!. Yeah, you get it :smile:. After that, you'd wanna kick very hard, right through your target. Go try that without your shoes, and you'll have a very good tornado kick. And by the way, you might wanna' consider throwing you nonkicking leg up a little bent. Try it.

I didnt take off my shirt because then some of the guys here in the board would do suicide because of my fucking hawt body :ogre: :tongue:

Taking the shoes off makes it all good, seriously.:smile:

it looks uncomfortable to you, especially in the hips.
practice round house kicks to get the curve and stretch so you can kick with pointed feet.
side kicks might help for hip placement.

[Tocano]

When the kick comes around don't stop it, rotate with it. Use it to make you spin. When you stop turning onces the kick is over it looks unnatural.

try to control your landing to. everytime you land you kinda stumble off a bit
but first get the kick right so you are not worrying so much about the landing

This is what I wanted to post but Tocano beat me to it, excellent tip mate :)
Keep completing the rotation after you kick, this way you'll get used to kicking harder and faster.

[Augenatic]

Yup. And one more tip.. Check out your foot positioning (While you're doing you setup. Your non kicking foot).. You want your foot to point to your side when you jump. At least to your side.

I think the best thing for you to do is to start learning to analyze techniques. There's a guide on this site somewhere. But basically just watch videos really slowly so you can see whats going on and try to re-create what you see.

Aw man, noooo
These are the most chav shoes ever. :/
