bushido_man96 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Check out this video of some interesting kicking techiques: I'm not going to speak on the practical applicability of these kicks. Some have some use for TKD sparring, and others look good for demonstration purposes.What I am impressed with is the body control involved with most of them. Especially jumping and spinning, and then kicking with a twist kick in the opposite direction. I was impressed. They would be fun to practice! https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes a lot of body control to pull these off.

DWx Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 The GinjaNinja is very good. Wish I had that flexibility and ability to jump!!! Great difficulty with these types of kicks is that he's rotating his hips one way for the spin then going against it to throw the kick. Not the most powerful of kicks but so difficult to perform.

I'd love to see some attempts at breaking. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harkon72 Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 These kicks might require strong core muscles to perform but I showed them to my Sensei. He said that the draw back is that the higher you kick, the more power you lose. He said that I would be better off smashing an opponent's thigh than tapping him on the ear. Look to the far mountain and see all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is not practicing these kicks for their combat effectiveness. They are to test his athletic ability. This guy can already kick well (as shown by his many other videos) so why not try to push the boundaries and train to do something most people can't?
