  • Spinning hooking heel/Dragon whips tail.

    I "learned" the lead hooking heel, rear hooking heal, spin hooking heel from watching Bruce Lee's movies (as well as reading a few books by his subordinates). I would like to know which style this technique originated from because im preaty sure im not doing it correct. Dont get me wrong I generate a quick whip cracking effect from it that creates a popping snap(ala baggy pants). I've studied TKD for four years and San-Jitsu-Ryu( a judo composite style with many maiming & breaking techniques, along with more striking that normal judo) for one and a half years. Let me explain how I execute my self taught kick so some nice person can critique me(please). I set up the kick like a TKD style spin side kick. With the exeption that I pull my heel back towards my leg when i extend it, creating the whiping effect. I can fire this kick at all levels and train it on the kicking bag often. I would apreciate a link or a good description of how this move should be executed properly. Also I recently made a variation on the move adding a extra 180 degree turn. In a strong leg forward stance, I do a kinda mock rear roundhouse for momentum, then I set that foot down in lead. Following this and building momentum by bringing my hips around I fire the thing off. Kinda like the way Jet Lee was doing his spin side-kicks in the Fists of Fury remake movie.

    Keep feet close together. Turn head first then shoulders then hip then fire off the leg. That order is important to coil up the body.
