Flying Wushu Frontkick

This video shows how to do a flying frontkick in modern wushu. In Chinese (Mandarin) this is called "Teng Kong Fei Jiao" (lit.: Jump Fly Foot). Warm up your knees and your ankles and do a couple of wushu slapkicks before your practice on this jump.

Execution

• The flying wushu frontkick has its own runup. You basically start with the right fist over-head (elbow fully extended) and the left palm next to the right shoulder. Look to the left and extend your left leg so that only the only tip of your shoe touches the floor. (see video)
• Then let your arms fall over each-other, run 2 steps and swing your arms like shown in the video.
• After another two step you jump off from your right leg.
• Swing you left leg forward up and bend it in mid-air.
• Then do a wushu slapkick and pull your right leg back down as fast as possible.
• You have to land on your right leg. If you land on the left, you messed up.

Advice

• At the beginning you should just practice the runup. Then the swing with the left leg, then swing your left leg and bend it in mid-air and after that you can try the flying frontkick with the actual kick in mid-air.
• Don't look down to the floor when you jump off.
• Make sure you don't get used to landing on the left leg or both legs at once.
