Sorry I haven't checked in on this thread in awhile. Kind of forgot about it.

I wouldn't put too much concern in learning how to do a double kick, that is what is one of the moves that causes people to believe TKD is not street effective. Spend more time with your jump back kick

 

Trust me, I'm not going to try to use this technique on the street. I wouldn't use a jump back kick for that matter, either. I just want to learn this technique because it's difficult and I like a good challenge. Plus, it works a different set of muscles than I'm used to.

 

In response to sano's question: my old dojo never used this technique, a friend of mine showed it to me a few days before I started this thread.

 

Currently, I'm getting fairly good at the double kick. When I try to do three or four in a row, I still have a lot of trouble. Also, I can do the kick pretty well when I lead with my right foot, then switch to left. But when I lead left, switch right, I have a lot of problems...my right leg is the dominant one when it comes to speed and precision. Any suggestions for equalizing my legs, or is repetition the best remedy? That applies to all kicks, not just the double kick.

 

Thanks a lot guys, I know I'm asking a lot of kinda silly questions. I don't have a sensei to correct me anymore and I'm feeling slightly lost when learning new techniques.
