karatekid1975 Posted November 18, 2003 Share Posted November 18, 2003 Well I tried to tackle to 360 today --- it was more like a 285 --- hehhehe. My instructor is funny --- he's like "yeah, uh --- something like that!" I'll show ya! I just landed the 540 for the 4th time the other day No I didn't throw an extra side kick there, but if I can do it, you can Keep tryin. I know you can do it Laurie F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stl_karateka Posted November 18, 2003 Author Share Posted November 18, 2003 Hehe that rocks! I never was one for the aerials but now learning all that stuff sounds cool --- I want to learn the 540 and tornado kick. I've lost my chinese crescent kick (well I never really had it!) OH yeah --- back to Unsu.... KarateForums.com Sempai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mArTiAl_GiRl Posted November 18, 2003 Share Posted November 18, 2003 okay, I've never learnt that kata (I've said that before right?), but I will, I hope. I've tried to do that jump, but umm.... the floor is of stone and it's very hard. My best jump is the Wado Ryu Wanshu kata jump. I've kinda beaten everyone with it, lol.

stl_karateka Posted November 18, 2003 Author Share Posted November 18, 2003 Best jumps I got (until I master the 360) is the 180 crescent kick from Kusanku, with the double jump front kick (Chinto) a close second* *Kusanku has a double jump front kick too but for me the one in Chinto feels stronger cause it is at the begining of the kata.

stl_karateka Posted November 22, 2003 Author Share Posted November 22, 2003 Still no 360 --- about a 285 still I broke it down tonight and figured out what I was doing wrong....I was trying to kick, jump and spin all at the same time. Cresent first...then jump up, not forward (other mistake) --- then tuck -- wasn't doing that....then land. I'll be working it, and you'll all know when I nail it!

stl_karateka Posted December 3, 2003 Author Share Posted December 3, 2003 I hit the 360!!!! The crescent kick is still weak and I am not getting as much air as I would like but 'muscle memory' is taking over so I can start refining now that I got the basic movement down....any tips?

SaiFightsMS Posted December 3, 2003 Share Posted December 3, 2003 Lots and lots of reps. Do it several thousand times then ask again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommarker Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 use the crescent kick to rotate your body faster. I'm no longer posting here. Adios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G95champ Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 The jump in Unsu is more than a 360 you land on the ground in the process os the body sort of spins in the air as it lays down. Very hard jump. Great kata wish I knew it. LOL Best of luck (General George S. Patton Jr.) "It's the unconquerable soul of man, and not the nature of the weapon he uses, that ensures victory."
