The TOUCHDOWN RAIZ | Tricking Form Optimisation Series

The Touchdown Raiz is initiated in the same manner as a normal Raiz however after take off, one hand will touch down to the ground before the feet land. The hand that touches down is on the same side as the initial kicking leg. So after the lift off the hand reaches back towards the shoulder and the back should arch allowing you to spot the ground. Make contact first with the hand then as the lead foot touches the ground push the hand off the ground and begin lifting up the chest. (Credit: Club540)

The TORNADO KICK | Tricking Form Optimisation Series

The Tornado Kicks come in many versions, including the Backside 900 and Cheat 900 Kick. The difference between these kicks is in the number of body rotations and the take off. In taekwondo the 360 and 540 kicks are normally done as Roundhouse Kicks (striking the target with the top of the foot), but variations of these kicks can also be done as Crescent Kicks (striking the target with the inside of the foot) and Hook Kicks (striking the target with the back of the heel).

The DOUBLE LEG | Tricking Form Optimisation Series

TRICKING | THE DOUBLE LEG is a move that originated from Capoeira and has been incorporated into tricking. Both legs remain together during the take off and execution. After the take off, the torso stays upright and vertical, but will begin to quickly torque in order to swing the legs around and upwards. At the peak of this move, the body is in the shape of a “V”. The legs continue to swing over as the body straightens out for the landing.

The winners were judged based on 5 criterions – Athleticism, kicking ability, control, style/creativity and acrobatics.

The 5 panel judges each had their own category, and included Alan La (founder of Invincible Worldwide), Hakan Manav, (finalist of Australia’s Got Talent with Xtreme Team), Tim Farley (renowned tricker in Australia), Warrick Wong (experienced tricker), and William Pham (Tricking coach at Invincible Worldwide Academy).

“I’m proud to see the tricking community grow and more and more people getting inspired to push their physical and mental limitations. Ultimately, to me, that’s what it’s all about,” says Invincible Worldwide founder, Alan La.

Winner of the Trick IT ON! 2015, Gericho Hills says, “Thank you to Invincible and Fairfield Council for hosting the sick event, thanks to the judges as well. It’s great to have these events for us trickers.”
