* To get very good at your kicks, you
must practice! I use a
stationary kicking dummy at home in order to
practice difficult kicks. You should also read these

Written Instructions - How to do a
Tornado Kick
A tornado kick is
very similar to a spinning
roundhouse kick but with a jump at the end of the
move. Remember to turn backwards when starting this
move. You will kick from the pivot foot. The spin
and jump will give you greater power and higher
kicks.
Try not to hop when
spinning. Makes the move "easier" but slows you down
& gives the move away.
