@@shamrock31 That is fine. I’m 14 and I’m overweight. At first I had the same mindset as u but I overcame it quite quickly as I’ve been wanting to learn Taekwondo for years alr. You’ll soon see that weight doesn’t matter. It’s more of how u behave and act as a person. U will be better than the skinny ones if u listen carefully and try ur best.
@@shamrock31 I also wanted to join MMA but it is actually very dangerous cuz there isn’t any guard things to protect ur body esp ur head. If u get hit in the head....u brain gonna be damaged. That’s why I decided to join Taekwondo instead since it’s more about kicks(which is what I wanna learn) and there’s protectors/guards. But since u like MMA more and u sound like someone who is very passionate about it, I’d say u go ahead and do MMA or UFC
unlike in other tornado kick tutorials wherein you have to take a step forward facing the other way and as you bring the other leg spinning making a jump then the kick. your tutorial is fast not detectable cant be anticipated due to the twisting and not the too obvious chambering prior to the kick. that's what makes it fast and undetectable.
It’s a disguise technique. If you throw a lot of spinning techniques such as the spinning back kick or wheel kick, you can surprise your opponent with the tornado kick. Combat sports is 90% mental game.
@henrik salte I am a second degree black belt and have been practicing Tae Kwon Do for 10 years. I just wanted to say that the tornado kick is not ineffective if you know how to do it. It takes a lot of practice to make this kick work. Many fights have ended with a tornado kick to the face. The tornado kick is basically a stronger version of the round kick. The spin and the jump adds extra power. In the TKD school that I go to and teach at, we wait and learn the tornado kick around red belt level. By then, they should know how to do round kicks properly with much power. Adding the "tornado" part should be fairly easy for them by then.
@@loveisrag3 useless.. do the simple push doll yeok in the face. Once your opponent falls. just run. Why run? Cause TKD technique wont work if your opponent know you're TKD practician and the counter of your skill just get close to you and punch you hard.... the answer is just run....
If youre sparring in taekwondo it is hard to land a hit on your opponent with the tornado kick as your opponent is expecting and waiting a kick out of you already is ready to move. But in day to day basis if someone picks on you, they might expect a punch and less of a kick so started it off with a tornado kick could be effective
Master Woo, you are an EXCELLENT teacher! I'm in Houston, TX and we have some really good schools, and I have been to a few, including Lopez TKD (which by the way is an excellent school also). I really enjoy the way you breakdown the technique and make it very easy to learn. As we all know, the basics are the most important! Thank you for posting! Keep 'em coming!
I love taekwondo. I’m a red belt testing brown in a week. Was having a lot of trouble perfecting this kick. Thanks so much. Very important tips. Waiting for your body to turn fully before following thru. I’ll finally look like a black belt candidate. Looking forward to seeing your other kick lesson to make sure I’m the best I can be. Thanks for sharing. You’re a really great teacher.
hi master woo, im not a taekwondo practitioner but I tried this kick to an intruder and to my surprise the last thing I saw is that hes down holding his right rib cage and grimacing in pain then he ran away. my kick wasn't that high so I got him in his mid section and hit the target, this kick is not only gracefull and beautifull but also effective. this is my favorite kick. thanks for your tutorial master woo.
bas rutten a 3 time champion of pancreas started taekwando at the age of 21 and went on to do kyokushin and muay thai , you are never too old ( i am 22 and started kyokushin karate )
Thank you so much. As soon as you started speaking I knew you knew what you were talking about. I always was told to raise my knee straight up so I struggled. But now I see it is more natural to chamber the knee at an angle making it more natural and not fighting against my own movements. Also a lot of other key details I will note such as rotating and not lifting the foot early and waiting for my shoulder to point to opponent.
My mom started Hapkido when she was 25 and took to it well. Unfortunately she didn't get to continue it with work and everything but she still remembers how to do almost all of the kicks o.o start as soon as you can, even if it means taking it at age 16 while you still have time ;D
The nice thing about taekwondo, and any type of martial art, is that anyone can start at any age. I started when i was nine and got my black belt at fourteen. Your age really doesn't affect your ability. If you want to do it, then do it. It's so much fun.
Annyeonghaseyo Kwan Jang Nim, I am greatful following this video. The tornado kick was very challenging to me due to my length ( 6´6) but since I found your video and followed your instructions, I have become a "master" in it. And it just took me more than a week in hard training. Kamsa hamnida
Disagree . I Started training Kick boxing and Thai Boxing when i was 19 . I'm 23 now and i'm doing pretty good :) . When i started i was 270 pounds (Answer for the people that are saying they are too fat for that ) . I Dropped 75 pounds and still dropping i'm 195 right now :) . It sounds cheesy but as long as you really want it you can do it :)
Okay now i'm stretched enough to do this properly, i've been correcting technique for months and one last issue left: it takes too long to throw this kick. Any tips how to do it faster?
Im 2nd gup too. Start with your right leg back (sparring stance) slowly turn like you are going to do a turning back kick. Stop. Lift up Left knee when you are facing away from your target while turning, when your knee is facing with your target, release the leg to kick, don't forget to jump. Take your time, do it slow and ask your classmates for help.
@MrEran1996 There is a place for both the inside crescent kick (which I think is what you're suggesting) and the roundhouse with this technique. The crescent is easier for most people to get high, but the roundhouse will have more power. And, generally, if you're doing kicks of this sort, height of the kick should no longer be a problem for you.
In sparring, the strong leg forward is because of the speed- it's much faster than a full or a turning roundhouse kick with the back leg. The strength of a hit isnt as important as the speed, at least in competition sparring, which is why you'll see a LOT of right handed fighters with the southpaw stance
Thanks for the reply, but I understand the southpaw stance is for left handed fighters, but why so many in TKD? I'm wondering if the art of Taekwondo believes having your strong arm/leg in the front is a better method of combat.
you sir, are a very good teacher. I like your videos and your tutorials are very on points - keep up the excellent work! Just a question though, how old are you?
Hy master, I have a question for you. That I just did it about 15 repitition for each of my legs and then I got dizzy in my head and until now really dizzy master. Did I do something wrong or I need some stretching before doing that ?please reply me master
Master Woo , I have a question. Currently, I am in Tae Kwon Do. Would you think Hapkido would be hard for me to learn since I know forms now... or would it be easier?
I've been learning Taekwondow for a long time and I just understood this and the spinning hook kick...if you could land either one of those...well...your gonna win.
I just learned this kick 2 days ago. I really have to think about it when i do it but over time I think muscle memory will take in affect. Also youre not too old to train. I just started 2 months ago and im 32 years old.
If you get beat up in sparring use it to learn, that's the whole point of sparring, if they hit you measure their timing, watch their combinations closely and try to counter
Of course you can start TKD at any age but due to the vast arsenals of kicks I suggest that older people should try Tang Soo Do instead, due to have more enjoyment x
that is done by practicing dialy, it may take few months for you, but keep practicing, once upon a time i am also unable to do taekwondo. it took me six months to learn roundhouose , two years to do tornado, but i succeed finally. any replay appreciated
Never too late, i recommend doing lunges and squats to get more strength in the legs, also stretch them further and further with time. In 5 years you should be proficient in any art if you are dedicated enough.
m having same problem wid my right leg n i dnt care bout it ,still my leg is not good n even my round house suffers a lot may b the uploader help us n y did u removed dat vid i wanna see dat
I really like these videos thanks, great breakdown of the kicks then connecting them all smoothly as one technique, I just wondered if you've done a video on reverse turning kick?.
His second start at like two minutes in is how I always throw my tornado kicks. I use more hands than most TKD fighters though, I also box professionally.I don't think most people will ever be good enough to tell the difference between these kicks.
you can start at any age, I know people who get into martial arts in their 20's :)
what if Im overweight and late 20s?! 😅

If I use this kick in sparring I like to use it right after a back kick where i dont put my foot down but instead transition straight into this kick.
that will be a nice try.
That's what I do
pog!
you are a very amazing teacher.I am a slow hitter but i watch your videos to keep myself going.
This is one of those techniques that seems very complicated, but with a good, thorough explanation and a good example, you can do it very well.
That's right!

Can I know the name of that jumping round house kick you used not the spinning one

You are very welcome, I am glad it helped. thank you for your support.
Thank you for this.
Greetings from Uruguay. 🇺🇾
Thank you for the video. What is the best way to land after the spin without hurting your knee?
If feel the pain on your knee, it is probably from the over stretched kick not from the spinning, make sure kick with snap.
Awe-some! Such a beautiful kick when performed at this level! Kamsahamnida Master Woo! Greetings from Sweden! :)

You are very welcome, I am glad it helped and let's just say that I'm not too old :) thank you for your support.
Master...how do we actually turn our body without seeing the enemy or [should we predict where our enemy are?]

Is this different than a 360 roundhouse?
how are your roundhouses, and variants?

Thank you very much you showed and described the key moment in the turning phase of that kick what i want to develop to dont jump to high.
