Can you do inverted roundhouse and inverted hook kicks? Those are the only types of kicks I can't do.

Can you do a kick straight up in the air?

I'm teaching myself out of books...

 

I've never tried an inverted roundhouse, to be honest. I can do an inverted hook kick though. I have to say that I enjoy some of the flashier kicks like the tornado roundhouse too. They're just fun to do.

You mean like a front kick? I can't do the splits; no matter how much I stretch, that seems to elude me. I can however kick very high, and if you're just talking about a jumping front kick or something, I can do that. Well, I've managed to break boards that are right over my head from a standing position.

I was lucky to have the place that I did since there are quite a few highly skilled masters there.

I can only do high front kicks with my left leg. It's a lot more flexible from my left when it comes to front kicks. I can do roundhouse kicks, side kicks, and hook kicks very high with both legs, for example I can kick above someones head if they're the same height as me. But I can't kick right above my own head with a side kick, example: www.winjitsu.com

I can do the splits almost, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSLaoa9MEzk that's three weeks of practise, I posted it one week ago, I also have a video I did of the splits after 1 week of practise, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xa9q0YnZRPY I can do it better now, it's been four weeks, I can start with my hands free and slowly slide into it, but I pulled my groin so I can't make a video of that until it heals.

One of my goals is to be able to drop into the splits like it's nothing, and eventually be able to do a side kick straight in the air.
