Drill your basic kicks (you'll also gain flexibility that way), then fix your set-up (use the normal stepping-over one, check TKD Andy's 540 tutorial, he describes it pretty well; I can't find it on youtube right now, but it's downloadable from kyukodo.com)

use ur arms more

[MehrunesDagon]

Is it the angle of your camera or are you amazingly tall?

Also, watch more tutorials!

Find a target, Stay lined up with the target, and Destroy that target!!! Don't move from side to side so much.

We've all been at that stage (Unless you're asian, then kicking's natural:tongue:), the more you do them the better they get.

[OpenxEyedxBeast]

By basic kicks we mean:

Axe Kick
Front Kick
Round Kick
Side Kick
Spin Side Kick
Hook Kick
Inner Crescent
Outer Crescent
Round Kick w/ Follow thru
Inner Crescent w/ Follow thru
Spin Hook Kick
Spin Outer Crescent

thanks for the help guys.

Arms. Throw them up and around (copy someone's technique). That'll open things up for the move more.

Also, be a freaking optimist! Call your video "awesome ninja moves" not sucky stuff for example. This will help your tricks, I'm not kidding.

[Flipsie93]

lol ok thanks for the tip :smile:

[ninjitsian]

instead of running do it standing. get into your fighting stance. the foot that is in front of you is the foot you will kick with. bring tht foot around, jump off of it, turn, then with the same leg kick.

edit: i know my description is vague so maybe this simple tutorial will help

i watched that tutorial and i can't do that little spining thing he does in the begining.. it's pissing me off.. im just confused and i am doing it wrong i think..

[ninjitsian]

watch the video again and practice it step by step. you can do it. its ridiculously easy

Btw while im posting this are cheat gainers harder then gainers?? because i was doing cheat gainers on the trampoline and i think they are harder then gainers.. Even harder then gainer 540s..

The tornado wasn't looking THAT bad, as people already said, basic kicks and changing the setup will make it better.

Also, there's no such thing as a cheat gainer. It's called a slanted gainer :)

[JackW]

they may not be on the trampoline but slant gainers are much easier..

I don't know if this has been answered before, but I don't care haha.

Cheat gainers don't exist. :good:

hey yo, welcome to tricking! It's fun, it hurts, but it's mostly fun.

My advice:
1. You got decent flexibility, but one always has the option to only get better.
2. Your body seems semi-segregated, and by that I mean your legs do one thing while one or the other body parts do something else or nothing. There isn't that much coordination. You at least got around to do the kick, that is good. Your arms can help lots; don't just think one part of the body does all the work ^_~
3. Vary the kick. Crescent kick, round kick, heck even feint it (just use the knee). A step up from 540 is a C-720, which is like a tornado kick + hook kick.

Keep working!!!!!!
