Wow! just starting to learn how to do a jumping spinning backthrust kick!!?

Question

and finding it almost impossible to do.. did anyone else find it frightning when they started learning these complicated moves??
I trained for 2hours the other night trying to do this kick with no success... arghhh!! how frustrating!!

It's going to be part of grading to progress to the next belt level..

Answer 1

Most kicks are hard at first because the student hasn't founf his balance. Try this, keep your arms in and your body centered, jump straight up before you kick, be sure to turn your head so you can see where you are kicking (very important).
Have someone who is good at this kick watch you. They will see what you are doing wrong. Most of the times it's something simple that you just can't see.
Good Luck.

Answer 2

A very flashy, but almost completely useless move.

Unless you are just learning it for exercize or for advancement, learn some Muy Thai kicks instead.

If you find yourself in a situation where you think "a jumping, spinning backthrust kick would work here", just do a front thrust kick. Much more direct and faster.

Answer 3

keep training its fun to do exhibition moves. start doing it slow
seeing if you are even capable of the move. It takes lots of practice to get some leg work down and might even take learning a few similar simple techniques keep trying. don't listen to what the Knuckle head muay Thai artists on here say. efficiency is key in a fight, but in exhibitions you have to go to town with your own skills. I'm assuming your learning this as a martial art IE. TKD, Karate or kung-fu, if your learning it for a fight i would drop it though, its to monotonous and slow to do in a real fight even tournament match. good luck learning the move

Are you familiar with martial arts tricking? It's extreme martial arts with lots of flips, spinning jump kicks and such. Here's a site that's a guide to help with training. How to analyze moves to get them down better, tips on doing moves, how to train, even flexibility and nutrition guides. I think you might benefit from going to this site. http://trickstutorials.com/ It sure helped me out a lot when I went into martial arts.

Answer 6

The best way to learn any kick or punch is to do it slowly and correctly first, over and over until you get the hang of it, and then you can speed it up until it will go where you want it to without you thinking about it. good luck its fun
