Best Answer

The tornado kick is a two part kick. The first kick is a crescent kick in the shape of a C with your right leg so that you hit the opponent's face. Your foot comes down in front of you and you turn around in a jump to your left with your left leg coming around halfway up. As you turn around, kick your right leg out in a crescent kick.

Make sure that you are kicking straight forward and not to the side with the second crescent kick.

Which is the greatest technique in Tae Kwon Do?

The greatest and most widely used technique used in Tae Kwon Do is the roundhouse kick (otherwise known as the "round kick"). Its advantage lies in its simplicity: it is easy and quick to execute and is the fastest way of scoring a point. However, the kick that is usually considered the "greatest" as far as complexity is the 540 kick (commonly known as the "tornado kick"). This is elaborate and difficult to execute.


How can you improve your tornado kick?

Like any other Taekwondo technique, you can improve your tornado kick by learning it correctly from your instructor, and practicing it diligently, and frequently. If you are having difficulties with making progress on improving the kick, it is usually best to ask your instructor to take a look at you performing the kick, and give you suggestions, and make corrections in person, since this is the only way to know for sure what you need improvement on. It is best to practice the kick in slow motion to ensure that the body follows the correct sequence of movements, then gradually pick up speed while maintaining a smooth, flowing motion. The motion should start at the head - turning as far as possible, followed by the shoulders, the torso, and finally the hips. The rear leg is literally uprooted as though your body was a tree, and a tornado has twisted you until the roots (your legs) are ripped out of the ground. As you continue the rotation, without forcing it, the hips continue to roll over until the roundhouse kick is completed.

Why should you kick straight forward instead of in a crescent when you're doing the second part of the Tornado Kick?

You do a forward kick because of the force. The opponent may see your crescent move AND will try to stop it and may very well do just that. The forward thrust kick is predictable, slow, but more than powerful! the opponent can see it coming but cant do a thing! This kick is so powerful, he(or she) cannot stop the damage and if they try, may hurt their arms.


How does Kofi Kingston do Trouble In Paradise?

What he is doing is a tornado kick, its quite simple with practice and there are plenty of tutorials for it. One way to do it in the ring is for the attacker to perform the kick, and the victim to slightly block the kick with one hand, the attacker then slaps his/her thigh to create the smacking sound, now all that's left is for the attacker to land the move and the victim to pretend to be in pain.
