For Taekwondo Black Belts, Students, Instructors, etc... ?????

Question

Recently learned how to do the Jump Di Dollyo Chagi ( Jump Spin Hook Kick ). I totally suck at doing this move and its one of those kicks you have to demonstrate during the black belt test.

I was first told to to practice jumping 360 in place, then try adding in the spin hook kick. And it still looks really sloppy!!!

Is there any dvd/videos, or do you have any tips for me to improve on this kick!

Answer 1

if your starting point is zero degree and your finishing point is full circle of 360 degree. Then, try a 90 degree starting point from your previous zero starting point. and when you succeed, start at 45 degree, and when succeed, start at normal at zero degree.

best to spin your head first to look at your target as you jump so you can see your target before you foot gets there. it also help with orientation when you look at the target as early as possible.



need to watch video of the kick over and over again.to get a picture in your head. flexibility also helps.

Answer 2

I think they mean jump a 180 degrees, not 360.  

Can you do a spin hook kick well without jumping?

First you need to do it well without jumping.  

Then jump 180 without kicking,

Then put it together.

For pictures, go to youtube.com and type in "jump spin hook kick" and you will find a lot of stuff.
