[StickMan]

My 540 looks weird.:eh:
Video:

Second 540 - just kicking all the way through.

Also need som advice for the c720!

Thanks!:wink:

for the 540: you throw your arms to the side of your body, you should throw them more up, so your body gets more lift of the ground and probably gets you to lay back a little more, so that your kicking leg can get through it harder and better...
So if you notice 540 tutorials, from juji, you'll see his arms go in a circular motion, from up > down > then back up, with the jump and kick

C720... dude you almost jacknife it haha... especially from the low angle camera it looks that way... but for the technique of the c720.. try to get your body to stay more upright, so you won't have this layed back c720, you can chamber the kicking leg in for the first turn then unchamber with a snappy kick when you complete the rotation

Thanks for replying!
I'll try throwing my arms more up.:wink:
There is something else im "worried" about. On my 540 kick my non-kicking leg seems to follow the motion of the kicking leg....:eh:
I have noticed that juji's non-kicking leg freezes when he throw his kick...

just as leonardo mention 540 throw your arm up,
look at your target when you kick don't look to the side
seems like you need more flexibility

and 1 more thing before i forgot,when doing 540,
dont throw your first leg (non kicking leg) across, focus on going up
start jumping before your non kicking leg pass the center point which is your target
you are jumping too late,

look back at the video pause at 0.04
when you start jumping,
your non kicking leg is already pass your target

c720
again learn to spot your target,
keep your chest straight

you might wan to try throwing your hand up, but is not necessary.
