    THANK YOU . I'm 28, and fat now. I used to look like you. I started my own company, and the years took their toll. Successful, now, I can return to core principle of what matters; my body. I went out in the yard today, and staying ON AXIS was what I missed as a youth. I'm so happy to have officially made a return to tricking. Imagine a 236 pound guy: round house -> hook -> tornado kick -> AERIAL -> switch direction and come back.
    Fucking. Glorious. Thanks for the tips, kid.

    Im a beginner but i really like tricking, and i was in a city where i had a lot of friends to help and critique my form but now i don't. This video is simple and really helpful. Thank you so much for the free info you rule!!

  • @MoveWIthMendoza
    @MoveWIthMendoza  Před 11 lety

    Think DIVE ROLL take off, where you reach and jump UP & OVER the ledge... that momentum will carry you to the other side, and once you see the other side or as you're passing over the ledge you tuck and thanks to the momentum from the dive takeoff, you won't hit the wall because by the time you fully tuck, you'll be well away from the wall.

  • @tonykirk4247

    Thank you. I've kind of undergone a whole mindset shift this last week. I broke a lot of barriers that were holding me back, including thinking like that. It's amazing how much my mindset changed with just one week. I had to just trust myself to do things and be confident that I'd find a way to get there and do what I want to do. Thanks so much for your tutorials and advice.

  • @dougkillough1615

    thanks kyle! i don't trick or parkour (i'm an old snowboarder (?))- i found this searching for tips on doing a capoeira 'parafuso.' this video has given me something to do for the next year when i'm stuck indoors (always need to stretch splits too)- you rock!

  • @ThingsYouWant2C
    @ThingsYouWant2C Před 11 lety

    Im so glad im a martial artist because it makes things so much easier to learn tricking...if you got your kicking down and the chambers ,foot/knee placement and technique ETC. its so much easier .... thanks man

  • @Cobropta
    @Cobropta Před 11 lety

    More tricking tutorials!! :D
    Some good starter combos include:
    Tornado > Hook > Cartwheel/Aerial
    Backside 900 > Hook > Cartwheel/Aerial
    Pop 360 Crescent > Back Sweep > anything
    More advanced combos/transitions would include swing-throughs (s/t for short).
    ex. B-Twist s/t gainer
    ex. TD Raiz s/t corkscrew

    Keep watching videos and studying the movements... learn to see a movement, break it down into steps so you can visualize how to learn it. =)

  • @MoveWIthMendoza
    @MoveWIthMendoza  Před 11 lety

    Honestly, how you defend yourself, I feel, depends on the individual's ability to use their reactions in their favor... and there are many different styles, but I think kicks can help when the fight is in your favor, many do not expect kicks but there are some who know how to counter a kick if your kick is too slow or not powerful enough.

  • @asatorftw

  • @MatiasFaundez1
    @MatiasFaundez1 Před 11 lety

    This actually helped me make my 540 better. I never thought of using my first leg as a hook kick for momentum and with a little tweaking it gave me a lot more spin! Now I just need to get it a little higher and start doing jackknives :)

  • @MoveWIthMendoza
    @MoveWIthMendoza  Před 11 lety

    It's a lovely quote that says, "Let the beauty of what you love, be what you do."

  • @MoveWIthMendoza
    @MoveWIthMendoza  Před 11 lety

    Close, but the jackknife is more advanced. Jackknife is basically a 540 into a hook before or as you land. So the finish is kinda the same as in this video, but the jackknife has a jump and a full 360 spin beforehand. =P

  • @MoveWIthMendoza
    @MoveWIthMendoza  Před 11 lety

    I personally feel that you should only kick as high as the limits of your flexibility, a decent kick height is hip height, a good kick height is head height, and a CLEAN kick height is where you kick straight up in the splits like TIM MAN!!!!

  • @maxverstappen8969
    @maxverstappen8969 Před 7 lety +2

    I make only tornado hooks back and round house kicks if I train or doing shadow boxing.
    Didn't knew that people see this like a dance. But it gives me a good feeling to see this movie because this skills it's not only to damage people.

  • @firstcutfitness2

  • @monsterfilms1372
    @monsterfilms1372 Před 9 lety

    The hook kick you point your foot when you hook, its only flexed when u push it out, the best way I can explain it (as a red belt in taekwondo) is you do a side kick beside where you wanna kick and hook it back to hit your target, foot flexed while side kick, pointed while hooking

  • @MoveWIthMendoza
    @MoveWIthMendoza  Před 11 lety

    Yeah I plan on doing more tricking tutorials. I am still learning TKT but i'm beginning to get the hang of it and then I can better do tutorials without calling things the wrong name. But also tricking is so defined by big tricks, I'm not sure I'd ever be able to do a tutorial on big tricks like a full snapu because i may not be able to do it clean enough to demonstrate it. =( But for now, Just a buncha fun combos. =)))

  • @cycrone

  • @MoveWIthMendoza
    @MoveWIthMendoza  Před 11 lety

    Form does take more effort, however when you can trick and have razor sharp kicks, people acknowledge your efforts in going the extra miles to control your body just that much more. =)

  • @RaffSolis
    @RaffSolis Před 11 lety

    That's what i like to hear! Keep it simple and fun. No need for huge tricks, because people usually progress to that on their own eventually. Basic kicks, flips, and possibly twists? I can dig it! Keep it up bro ^_^

  • @MoveWIthMendoza

  • @RaffSolis
    @RaffSolis Před 11 lety

    It would be awesome if you continued to make more Tricking tutorials along with parkour/freeruning ones as well. Not saying you dont have tricking tutorials but the parkour far out weighs the tricking. Good job and keep it up!

    in sport sparring, you never want to make your back face your opponent. you either hit them, which makes it easy to pull your foot back and rechamber, or you miss and try to over come your momentum and get back into sparring stance

  • @フコノウス
    @フコノウス Před 10 lety

    actually in the kick, its better to point your toes, since it puts a lot less stress in the achilles tendon, and your heel will be more pointed, making it easier to hit. A lot of modern Taekwondo practitioners like to do that. But stretching the foot is the classic way of doing it thou.

  • @Quocalimar
    @Quocalimar Před 10 lety

    in tricking you point your toes in every kick... at least in the gym I train in. The reason is because it makes the legs look longer, and the kicks looks bigger.

  • @maximilianlotz3581
    @maximilianlotz3581 Před 9 lety

    in TKD, the roundhouse kick is with the top of the foot... not the shin and you pivot a bit more (180 degrees)... very nice hook tho...

    • @Ecl713
      @Ecl713 Před 8 lety

    I just have 2 simple questions.
    1: I feel that the kicks tend to tear on my feet when I open the kick. How can I prevent that?
    2: I also tend to throw my arms back when doing the tornado kick.
    Would be great if you could make a tutorial on it to make it feel more fluid and natural, but still would be great with an just an answer. :D
