High Performance Wushu Training Forums

This week I was studying some chinese athletes, and I found out a few little things that helped me on my lotus kick.

1- at the moment you are about to take off, you left foot should be slightly in front of your right foot, not too much but just a little bit, this will help on the rotation.

2- snap the hips before you jump. but still make sure you jump really high.

3- heels do not touch the ground when doing the take off.

this simple things helped me to go from a 540 to almost a 720 (landed a bit short almost like a 680 or something like that)

now heres some videos

Well this is my video, taken two months ago. I've been reading the "high performance" book, and also watching lots of videos and my technique is getting better, but I still suck, lol.
