They are french.
Gallic shrug.
This. Is. Awesome. AWESOME!
whoa… nice kick. bad sense of humour
[quote=The Question;2239717]That is pretty awesome, isn’t it?
The Question is: what the fuck was that shit? A spinning back kick, or a spinning hook kick?[/quote]
that was the proper way Inon tKD) to throw a hooking heel kick… a lost art and kick that I have not seen since my days of getting nailed witha nd nailing quite a few people with it… you don;t need to spin but you can… you bring theleg up like pee wee herman and at the very last second you tighten and buya!!!
Ok the guy comes from Savate there are guys in karate who kick that way… it is not a spinning hook though. What it is is a mule kick . Now think when fighting with your legs you want to throw at angles unseen by your adversary. that kick is used if the guy moves to a sidewise position and you are at his flank after setting up for a fronral attack. You lift the leg like a dog on a hydrant and as he sets up for a back kick you simply extend and lock the heelk at the last second. You do not need to do the kick hard it is like getting a rock in the sock to the chops.
That video practiclly brought tears to my eyes as that was the most beautifulvariation of that kick I have ever seen. the angle, the lack of telepgraph, the conservation of energy… when done right even a running man drops on contact, think about that!
Heres the thing I don’t know what they do in Savate ( I have seen players who are not that good) but years and years of trying to get people to see tha angle necessary and the purity of execution how it effects a fight… then you see somoene execute it perfectly, as perfectly as Plato’s Pythagorian triangle, wow!
YOu should all experience while you are young both nailing and getting nailed with that kick in a throwdown… The sensation is such, much like a really good choke where you are looking and thrn feel something gentle and then asking what happened? the kick when aimed at the eye socket, the heel hits the eye cavity (not the eye) and you are out on your feet. I have done it to many and felt it from sensei. When My sensei did it to me he did it slow motion and knocked me out.
edit: oh youcan target the eye socket (best) or the jaw. Either one hit properly and the effect is as given a s a choke. It is not a blunt force Ko that rattles the brain in your cage, it just… so hard to explain… try it !!!
Looks to me like the savateur might have been friends with the greaser. He turned around just in time to see his friend lashing out at the prankster and had about one second to decide to drop the guy. Stripey savate dude probably thought the prankster was trying to escape after lifting his buddy’s wallet or something.
Anyway, that was one hell of a kick.
Negative. That video is showing a “reverse round kick” (aka hook kick).
It’s a completely different kick with different power generation mechanics.
I hate this video, nothing i ever do will be as awesome as that kick.

Want me to take him out?

Hm, looking at it again, I can see that my spatial dyslexia in in fine working order.
Don’t be such a negative Nancy. Obviously you’re meant to learn the kick and use it in a MT match and then have videos of you circulated around on the net.
[quote=War Wheel;2241368]Again, its a
Reverse Fouette[/quote]
That guys reverse spin of ak ick bears very little resemblance to the way the other guy did his kick imo Matt. The force on this guy’s kick is the spin, similar yet more efficient movement wise than a TKD spinning kick. The other guy did not even have to spin to generate power, thats why I say it is a hooking heel kick and… the angle it encroached on victim was totally different. With most spinning back and spinning hooks you can literally bat the guys leg away. Try doing that with a hooking heel delivered from the flank.
But yes having said that I t is obvious that stripey was a Savateur… they get to take cred for that one. LIke I am fond of saying though… lets have a special week where we forget about styles and just say things like “this is how to do a choke that is flawless.” “This is a proper way to kick to the head” etc. mWe should call it style amnesty week!
I run into this a lot because doing Ju Jutsu I use a lot of chokes but people say “but in Japanese Ju Jutsu are there aa lot of chokes and neck breaks”? To which I want to say “gee I don’t know!”
Thanks for clearing that up. I was starting to thing I was seeing everything backwards (which does happen sometimes).
It’s still two completely different kicks! The power generation isn’t remotely the same.
They’re about as much the same kick as push kick and the krotty front kick (both of which I refer to as front kick, but the trajectories and intent are completely different).
This. Is. Awesome. AWESOME!
love the the 1st person with his kick

OK, so if its not Reverse Fouette, which kick is it?

Feel kind of bad for the guy that got kicked, but the guy that threw it didnt know if he had just lifted the dude’s wallet or what, so you cant blame him.
Like I said in the other thread, I learned it as “swing kick”, but who knows what it’s really called, because the other kicks those guys did had names like “California Roundhouse”.
The name isn’t all-important, I mean, I call 3 different kicks front kick. The point is that the mechanics/power generation/muscle groups are different. Spinning hook kick is propelled by the spin (+snap of the leg into the target at the end). This kick is propelled off the floor by a lever-action.
I can barely do a spinning hook kick (the reverse fouette in that Savate video) without falling on my ass, but I can do this kick.
