So I started to learn those tricks: Roundoff, BHS, B-Kick/Twist and Tornado

Below you see my first attempt for a Tornado. Is it correct? What can I improve?

Get your upper body controlled. Keep your arms close to your chest, and it'll already look loads better. Also, your head kinda jerks forward when you kick, which makes it look uncontrolled. It kinda looks like your upper body wants to stop the move from flowing, fixing those two things would probably make it a lot better already :)

Work on your b-kick as well bow out more and try to get horizontal with the ground.

I'm gonna say it's not good technique cause you couldn't possibly turn it into 540 at this point, work on digging into the setup and then jumping out of it.
After you jump chamber and kick. Hurray.

Thanks for the advice. It seems harder to tourque w/o the arm-swing. What do you guys mean with "chambering"?

Lifting leg up knee first, then snapping the kick by extending the leg.

By holding them close to your chest he means that swing them and bring them to your chest. Chamber your kick. Get more powaaaa into that tornado.
