Can you do the "Karate Kid" kick ?

[deftron]

That one kick he does at the end of the movie

where he balances on one leg, then kicks the other dude in

the face and lands on the same foot.

After I saw that movie I practiced it for weeks. I'm not a martial artist (yet... ask me again in 6 months) but I can do that kick fairly well.

 

[pillage2001]

Does it really scare people away??

 

[eplebnista]

No.

 

[b0mbrman]

I'm sure a lot of people *think* they can do it

 

[Aquaman]

But the real question should be ..................


Who would win a fight.............. Ralph Machio (Karate Kid 1) or Hillary Swank (The New Karate Kid)

I can do it with both hands tied behind my back.

 

[Beau]

another classic ATOT thread topic...

hai

 

[Rainsford]

Bah, I don't think any real karate person would do that, at least I wouldn't. In RL that's way too long of a setup time, like all those back-leg roundkicks everyone is always doing in movies. You'll get beat down in real life trying to do that.

Uh, anyways, I bet no one cares

 

[cressida]

crane stance.

 

[LakerGod]

As a proud owner of The Karate Kid I & II dvds, I sadly cannot complete a crane kick.

 

[spanky]

if the other guy was two feet tall... then yes.

 

[spanky]

<< I can do it with both hands tied behind my back. >>



how about ur feet too?

 

[yakko]

I can do the kick but I don't think I could do it effectively.

 

[deftron]

There's no way that many people can do it....


We're talkin real life here., OK

 

[joohang]

I don't remember the kick.

Here's a refresher

 

[virtuamike]

Used to be able to pull a 360 roundhouse. That's where you jump off your right leg, spin a full 360, kick, and land on your right leg. Could also pull a flying side kick to spin back (in the air obviously), a split kick to round, and the only Chinese guy 5'9" who could grab rim. Then I tore my ACL, gained the freshmen 15 and then some, and could never fly again.

Can't get my foot any higher than my chest
