Problems with landing the cartwheel kick.

[JustinvR]

I like to do flashy stuff. I do a lot of spinning kicks(back kicks, hook kicks, tornado kicks, jumping side kicks into spinning back kicks

the handstand kick from the older muay thai styles are different from the au batido in capeira.

I like it with the left leg standing southpaw on rightys, right kick on lefties (still standing southpaw, usually). I like to do it after a fair amount of level changing and feinting with it, and disguising it as a regular round kick.

If you don't mind Frode, would you elaborate?

It's always fun when guys at the gym discover Saenchai highlights for the first time and try the cartwheel kicks. I just cover, then give a little kick to their upside down head. Not hard enough to really hurt them, but definitely enough to show how dumb the move can be.

The best way is to think of the au batido as a shotokan or taekwondo style roundkick, and the muay thai version would be like a mt roundhouse.

The cartwheel kick in muay thai will make you land on the kicking foot if you do a shadowboxing version of the kick.. While a au batido stop on the highest point, and go back to the stance you started from.

Kinda hard to show just by typing on a keyboard.
