I was curious if anyone here could do a Butterfly kick, I've been trying to incorporate some kicks with saber moves and I thought that this one would be perfect! I can almost do it, but I have trouble getting more than about 2 feet off the ground and making the kick actually look good. For Example: Darth Maul does it here at 35 seconds And here is a Demo Video of One Any advice or help at one of our classes would be greatly appreciated!  |

been wanting to learn one for the fan film, and would love to get one down for WWLA, but i think that might be asking to get injured...

falling from an aerial will hurt you more that this kick will, if you practice though, make sure you don't have anything in your pockets, I destroyed my cell phone after a bad landing
and btw, i wouldn't dare do this while holding a saber yet, lol

yeah that's why i was saying trying at WWLA would be asking to get hurt.
i would be easier to say "hey Cosmoe, crack me in the head with Jenzo's OB1 saber again."

well, we've still got about a month to practice! want to try it before/after classes?
Just remember, if you use the right motions, your head will be up while doing the kick, not down like in an aerial
anyone else got some input on this?

Hey RamZ, READYYYYY Begin, 1,2,3 "ONE" 1,2,3 "TWO" 1, 2, 3 THREE! 1, 2, 3 FOUR! 1, 2, 3 FIVE! "I used drive a cadillac...", I mean I used to be able to do butterfly kicks before I broke my ankle. They were not perfect, but the best way I can say to do them is practice some cart wheels, and after a while try it with one hand, and then none. |
