Its nothing different from, say, playing an instrument.

Base work by beginner balance/footwork and overall fitness training.
Practice 30 minutes a day.
Learn 180 kick. Master it.
Learn 360 kick. Master it.
Try consecutive 360-180 kick.
Learn 540 kick. Haul ass. Hate gravity. Get dizzy. Master it.
Learn 720 kick. Call bs on life. Sprain a foot. Curse physics. Master it.

Set this plan in... say... 2 years if you have real talent. 5 years if you're human.

No one can play Flight of the Bumblebees on a violin on their first year of instrument practice. Remember to pace yourself.

I've only gotten consecutive 360-180. Being fairly average in PE and such, I don't think I could get 540. Doesn't help that I stopped going to lessons six months ago.

It looks like a reverse back kick
but instead you don't turn to see your target
ur back is showing when u start to kick

Force >1400 lbs

If kitae can do it, you can do it owo.

I did martial arts for 7 years.

And cat, yes. the spin back kick is one of the simpler yet more brutal techniques in martial arts.

3 months of bruising my butt and blaming god for physics unlocked 540 for me. This was AFTER perfecting the 360-180 consecutive.
Gave up with 720. Its bull****.

There no point. A solid fist to the cheek bones has more or less the same effect. Cept you don't risk being off balance at landing.

I'm a little girl with a vicious nature. It doesn't make me able to do a 540 though :\ .
I tried that when I went to the black belt class after my test.. didn't work out so well. Yeah, I did practice a lot.

If it makes you feel better, I cant do it anymore. Rusty.
I can still do 360-180 though. Really nailed that one with excessive years of repetition.

I do that in tournaments XD
Really though I struggle (Damn flexibility) but if it were a real fight... It wouldn't aim high... Just so you know.

Punishable, more blockable. I'm flexible though.

Sherlock Holmes shows the effect of clapping against the ear.
In the opening the breaks the opponent's knees to prevent movement. Attacking the legs isn't a bad idea. Shin kicks hurt like f---, and low licks can break leg bones.

The overall key is to keep your distance. If it gets too close, you can't kick, and lose all taekwondo advantage. There are a few techniques like elbow strikes to free space, but if you get that close, its already a match of force. Just bear hug or knee and hope for the best.

hey kids, this is always choice priority.

Chances are, you just wanna call the cops and run. Unless you have a taser.

One of the instructors who taught my class from before always had these neat tricks where you twist and bend the other person's limbs/grab their jaw/etc etc, and unless your opponent has some serious brute force and little regard for pain, it works really well in getting them down so you can run, or so you can hold them still until the cops arrive.

Yeah, those are common.

Whats uncommon are certain pressure points that can impact your body. Never been taught, but I was always the sandbag dummy for demonstrations.
He pushed on my arm and my legs instantly tumbled over. It was so bs.
