How to Do a Tornado Kick : Tornado Kick Variations

So now that we've learned how to do the tornado kick let's take a look at some other variations. You can always adjust the speed, the height of your kick, and you can always also do it from the opposite side. What some people like to do is a double legged one where they do the same run but they bring the legs together and jump off of both legs. That's another variation that people like to do. Also for the same kick, if you want to do right leg landing still with a single leg, some people can choose to jump up with both legs at the same time which they feel is either more comfortable or gets them more height. So again, you can jump off of both legs or you can jump off of one leg, but the key thing to remember is all the other applications and techniques are still the same where your body is straight and you're in line and you still need to bring your legs up fast and bring them down fast. Now again, there's other variations in terms of degrees. You can do 360 degree rotation or a 540 degree rotation and like I showed earlier, you can do one like this, which is 540 degrees. Note that the body spins one extra half rotation. So that extra spin is a 540 of an extra rotation. People can also do 720 or even 1080. Now there's also different variations in how you choose to land. Typically if you just want to use it for fighting application or martial arts application, you just want to get the kick across and land. Also, if you want to do it more aesthetically, you can choose to land in a horse stance, or you can also choose to land in the splits like so. So there's definitely different ways that you can choose to variate this move, and now that you've learned how to do the tornado kick, you can have fun with different variations.
