How do I throw a roundhouse kick correctly? Step by step...?
826258
There are different types of rounhouse kicks. Various martial arts have somewhat different delivery of kicks.\n\nSay, in a taekwondo match, you must kick deliver the roundhouse kick quickly. Leverage for power is sacrificed inorder to get the kick quickly to the target. But in kickboxing, you must get leverage from your kicks. Its like a haymaker with your feet.\n\nThese are the steps...\n\nTaekwondo roundhouse:\n1) Assume stance with more the powerful leg at the rear side. (assume an orthodox stance <right handed>)\n\n2) Raise the right foot, pointing the the right knee on the target.\n\n3) As you extend your right leg, pivot the your left foot counterclockwise consequently turning your trunk to the target now hitting the head of opponent with your right instep in the event of the complete leg extension.\n\nIn Kickboxing:\n\nAlmost the same but the kicking leg is swung wider or from the outside.

Practice with a partner. Take turns, 1 punches & the other blocks. Mix up the punches, don't get into a pattern. Use feints as well.

I learned by \n1. Practicing just turning my board 180 degrees\n2. Then lifting the front edge of the board as I turned\n3. And then finally by going off a bump and jumping as I began to turn.   \n\nAbout.com has good information on basic tricks- here is what they say:\n\n1.   Ride straight at a small bump or roller with the base of your board flat.\n\n2.   Stay flat-based until you're just about to take off.\n\n3.   At the lip of the jump, spring off of your toes.\n\n4.   Rotate slowly because you're only going to spin 180 degrees.\n\n5.   Look down between your legs to spot your landing.\n\n6.   Let go of your grab and extend your legs for the landing.\n\n7.   As you absorb the landing, continue looking uphill for just a second until your board is firmly planted. Then turn and ride away smoothly.\n\n(I deleted a step- they threw in an Indy grab...)\n\nAlso, check out some of their other basic trick instructions- they're pretty good!

When shooting, \nplace your non-kicking foot next to the ball, then follow through and land ON YOUR KICKING FOOT. \nSounds stupid; hard to do. \nI broke a 50lb. planter doing this and I'm 5'4" and 95 pounds. That should tell you how powerful this kick is. It gives you less aim, but MUCH MORE POWER. Practice for about an hour, and you should have it down. \nBest wishes and good luck with your game.

Well, I don't know who Juninho is, but I know how to kick good. You have to lock you ankle with your foot as parallel with your leg as it can be. It's best to take 2 or 3 step away from the ball and at an angle of about the same length. You can try standing right behind the ball, then step twice back then side step twice to the left (for a right footed kick). Once your in place take a couple steps and end up with your plant foot right next to the ball, pointing in the direction you want the ball to go. Follow through with your right leg, bending slightly over the ball the drive a ground ball, or leaning back to get it up into the air. I find it very easy to get a strong, high shot in doing this. When your kicking, the ball shood be hitting a certain part of your foot. For best results do this. If you start at you big toe and go up, there is a bone that sort of sticks out. The ball should be hitting around there. My big toe usually scrapes the ground when I kick, making the ball lift and get a curve to it. That's pretty much how you do it, hope it helps, and you may not get it the first time, just practice hard!

Dude if your a regular sk8r, take your right hand, grab the middle of the board, quickly take your left foot off the board, place it on the ground, keep your right foot on the board and don't let it go with your hand, pivot a 180 on your left foot, push off the left foot and land fakie.If your goofy, sorry, just do the opposite of what I said. Aloha!

Try doing long tackles...Take a running dive at a tackle dummy. Concentrate on hitting the dummy at the waist line. Do high jumps...take a run at a basketball goal try to hit the backboard in the same spot every time. With a fellow player do shuck and jive...have you friend do sudden cuts and turns while you try to stay within 3 ft. Have someone throw a ball over your head or off to one side while you attempt to either swat the ball away or catch it. I used these to make the varsity squad as a 140 pound 5 ft 4 inch freshman who only did the 100 in 12 sec.

I saw a thing on TransWorld Skateboarding Magazine, and Ryan Sheckler says how to set up with your front foot; it should be a few inches from the back bolts of the front truck, get a good amount of speed, smash the tail into the ground and do the highest ninja kick you can, let the board flip under you, catch w/ your feet or hand, keep it the catch (unless you are grabbing it, release it after catching it) and land.\n\nI don't know it sounds pretty retarded ;)

Make sure you plant your non kicking foot next to the ball, then follow through with your kicking foot by using the top of your foot to kick with. If you have never kicked this way it will seem awkward at first. Further, leg presses will help immensely. I recommend heavy weights and 5-8 reps, for 5 sets, resting 60 seconds between reps.

doubt i'm as good as you but here is my little advice. you can try to master the kick to attack the head. a jumping backswing is good. but you have to be stable and firm and keep the attck as consistent as you can.

think that the ball is part of ur foot  and throw your leg where you want ur foot to go. Also build up your muscle in ur legs so when you hit the ball true it will go straight. And get a decent ball and boots

Make sure your feet are pointing in the right direction first of all... keep your shoulders pointing towards where you want to serve it.  Then you have to make sure your serving grip is right, otherwise you will just push the ball over.  Once you figure that out, count off two slow counts (1....2....)and at 2 you should be at the top of your swing going on your way down behind your head.  On 3 you should have already started to swing up from behind your head.  Pronate your wrist at the top of your swing, and follow through over the front of your body.  Also a lot of practice on the ball toss is always usefull.  You can figure out different types of spins and change the speed depending a lot on the toss, and how you follow through.

first off, start at the service line, and throw the ball with your dominant hand over the net. if you can do that, you can overhand serve. start with the most important part, if you are right handed hold the ball in front of you with your left hand and your right foot in front. The action for tossing sequence should go like this, toss, step hit. Toss the ball, step with your left foot in front and hit it. If you were to toss, step and then let it drop, it should land beside your left foot, in front of your right foot and in line with your right shoulder. The toss should be about arms reach high. Practice letting it drop in that spot about 200 times a day. Your contact should be when you hit the ball when your arm is the highest in the air. Keep your fingers stiff and straight, and let your arm follow through to your hip without it bending much. If it goes too high, try to contact the ball in the middle more instead of underneath, if it drops and doesn't make it over, contact the bottom of the ball. Good luck with your serve!

Easy, use your toe. Punch your toe directly in the center (middle) of the ball.\n\nYou get a knuckle ball effect, as an old keeper, I hated those shots more than anything else.\n\nAlso place your plant foot a little (3 or 4 inches most) behind the ball for an airborn kick, don't lean back or the ball will go too high.

Try aiming for the barrel if the first dart go's in. Try throwing for double twenty and when scoring consistently, drop down to treble twenty. Good luck.

Practice throwing shorter distances first and make sure you're throwing it straight.  If you do it correctly, it usually has an "S" flight trajectory.  If you're right handed, it starts of to the right and then comes back left.  Make sure you're throwing straight and then start throwing harder and harder.  Once you can stand there and throw it pretty hard (and straight), then start getting a one step start and use your body along w/ your arm.  Once you master that, Get a running start and put your body into it.  The main thing is making sure that you throw it straight.  You're maximum distance will come on a straight throw.

The first thing to do is already know where you are going to throw it. Be aware of where the base runners are and have it set in your mind what you need to do if the ball comes to you. Usually you are going to throw it to your cut-off man. Depending on where you play, it will be the shortstop or 2nd baseman. Unless you are very shallow in the outfield or have a rocket arm, this is where you will throw.\n    Now, as far as how to throw I'm going to asume that you have caught the ball cleanly. Keep your ballance, get your leggs under neath you. With your weight on your right leg, step towards where you are throwing, at the same time throw the ball with a over hand motion.\n    YOur whole body throws the ball, not just your arm. You  are pushing with your back leg, twisting your stomach, chest and shoulders, and kind of snaping your arm like a whip in a over and downward motion. If you throw overhanded properly, you will put back-spin on the ball and get a little bit of rise on the ball and get more distance.\n    The key to it all is to do everything in one fluid motion. Hope i helped, Good luck
