Wushu Slapkick Video

This video shows how to do a wushu slapkick. In Chinese (Mandarin) the slapkick is called "Dan Pai Jiao". The slapkick should be the last basic kick in your wushu warm-up routine. Also check out the animated wushu section or go back to wushu videos main.

Execution

• When you do a slapkick, it's important that you keep both knees straight, look straight forward and also keep the heel of the standing leg on the floor.
• Make sure you don't round your back as you kick.
• The time between hand slap and foot slap should be as short as possible.
• Pull the kicking leg back down to the floor faster than you kicked up.
• Extend both arms like shown in the video.
• Check out the animated instruction for more information on the wushu slapkick.

Advice

• Stretch your hips and your hamstrings before you practice any wushu kicks.
• Speed is very important. The up-motion has to be very fast, but the down-motion has to be even faster.
