How do I jump in the air and spin more than once?

Question

I use to be in karate and I had some pretty good kicks but I could never jump in the air and spin more than once, even to this day I can only spin once so I would guess that it doesn't have that much to do with leg power just technique. any tips? I try to stand in place and spin but I can only do once

Answer 1

I guess that you just want to do this for fun. I say that because jumping and spinning to execute a kick is a real quick way to get yourself hurt in a real fight. Even those that are skilled at such acrobatics are taking a big gamble trying to use it in a real fight.  I've been involved in the study of the martial arts since 1967. I have yet to meet anyone that can prove that jumping spinning kicks are anything more than show.

Answer 2

Try growing wings.

Answer 3

sometimes it could be that it's not your strengths? i'm doing taekwondo, i'm a black belt, and my abilities to jump and do spins isn't the greatest xD

but that's because i'm more bigger. it's usually the case that smaller people have the better ability to jump higher and spin faster.

at the same time, where your leg is positioned is also very important. my master showed me this when i was working on a 540 degree kick. the way your leg is positioned helps your spin while you jump.
