Since now everyone will know what's coming when you get in the crane kick position, and the element of surprise is gone, has the crane kick become an extinct move? Do martial arts experts not like the Karate Kid for ruining the crane kick in the way magicians don't like other magicians who reveal their secrets?
Ummmm, assuming this is serious, the Crane Kick was basically made up for the movie. And it wasn't some magical technique, anyway. A guy standing on one leg really only has so many options available. That's why you never actually see anything like that in real competitions.
Very few people have any idea whatsoever how the crane kick is applied. It is no way portrayed accurately in the movie. Anyone in the world with any modicum of common sense should be able to figure out intuitively you don't just stand on one leg and wait for some one to get close enough to hit. The crane kick has several applications and they are all in motion during specific sets of circumstances. I see no reason to start educating the world on how crane kicks are actually applied. If you want to learn go find a White Crane style instructor.
check out action picture Shaolin Martial Arts from 1974, now attainable on Netflix. purely previous the a million:21 mark, you will see the previous grasp training, and contained in the direction of his set, he does the Crane Kick, hands prolonged and all. the only difference is that he does not land on an identical foot he jumps from, which as noted in yet another answer is purely about impossible. yet as quickly as I observed it, I recognised it. So it grow to be no longer invented for The Karate baby, it grow to be carried out long until eventually now.
yeah, because, Okinowan Crane had an unbeatable technique (as Miyagi described it). Anyone with a shred of common sense can see what was coming.
No. Anyone who poses for any technique like in the movie is going to get hit. Movies are for fun, not for learning to preform a martial art.LOL The Crane kick should come fast and un telegraphed not like in the movie. It is very similar to the Taekwando jump front kick.
