A MAN accused of murdering an 18-year-old delivered a martial arts-style kick to his head during a nightclub brawl, a court heard yesterday. Ryan Leigh Johns, 20, of Rowville, is charged with the murder of Aaron Linskens, 18, outside the Village Green Hotel in Glen Waverley on June 1 last year. The Melbourne Magistrates' Court heard Mr Johns turned a full 360 degrees and kicked Mr Linskens' head once.

Mr Linskens suffered fatal injuries and died in hospital days later. The court heard mayhem broke out in the carpark of the hotel after the bar closed at 2am. Witness Ronald Phease told the court Mr Linskens and two friends walked towards Mr Johns and appeared ready to start a fight. He said Mr Johns began backing away from the group before delivering the kick.

"Aaron was getting ready to strike . . . he (Johns) rotated and lifted one foot off the ground and connected," he said. Mr Phease said he saw Mr Linskens grab at his mouth before falling backwards and hitting his head on the ground. Mr Johns was briefly detained by a security guard before running off, the court heard.

The preliminary hearing before Magistrate William O'Day was to continue today.

now, was this a reverse side? (it says he grabbed his mouth) or perhaps a spin heel (could have hit him in the jaw or in the brain stem, right beneath the ear, rendering the person pretty much FUBAR)?

this just in....... the only reason the spinning kick worked was because Aaron Linskens had down syndrome.

Jet Li should be proud. TKD, gets dissed here all of the time but It really ain't nothing to play with.

Jet Li isn't TKD though, he's wushu. And performance art wushu at that.

Thanks, Whenever I hear of a good kicker, I think of Jet Li. He leads the field. His kicks are faster than most peoples hands. Even though he is wushu, he's got awesome spin kicks. Dang, I thought he was wing chun.
