Cork Attempt

[SkyintheSea]

This is my first cork attempt... After a stressfull TKD lesson :D What do you think? What should I do to get it cleaner? Or, better, to land it? I figured I should throw my leg upper...But that's all for me :\

You don't need a moonkick or a slant gainer to cork, don't worry (I can cork fine, but can't slant gainer at all). Try using your J-Step a bit more and kick from a bit farther back. You start your kick when your kicking leg is infront of your jumping leg, so you don't get enough momentum upwards.
Also, try kicking towards your opposite shoulder, it will give you a bit more twisting momentum. Wrap a bit tighter as well.

But for a first cork attempt, very nice!

Why you should learn a slant gainer is to make it look better, Dont bother learning a cork if you don't learn it right to begin with. A cork doesn't look cool i your legs are too low, that's whyyou should learn to slant gainer first, so you'll be spinning horizontal, not vertical with your legs pointing to the ground..

Dont see whats wrong with that. Just gotta land it, you're in the right positition for it
