Editor’s Note: These are two separate moves covered in one guide.
Ok this is my first ever guide. I’ve noticed that a lot of beginners want to learn L kicks or nike kicks... so I made this.
First of all, L kicks aren't that hard. It just takes practice to hold them. You only need to hold them for about 1 - 2 seconds. People say that you need to have really good 1 handed handstands to do these. Well guess what? You don’t. I can't even do 1 handed handstands but I have decent nikes.
Ok then, let’s get started. (This is with your left hand)
1) Look at the ground where you’re gonna put your hand.
2) Step back with your left foot.
3) Swing your right foot up as you put your hand on the ground (Keep looking at the ground – it sorta helps you balance)
4) Now this is the part where most people stuff up... you gotta turn you hips slightly up towards the sky so you can kick up (Kick towards your face) (Look to the front as well)
5) Now straighten your legs out.
Grab your kicking leg to help you balance. If you are flexible enough, you could try to pull your leg in towards your body. It makes it easier to hold.
Now nikes are the same except that you bend you other leg as you’re swinging your right leg up.
Stuff to remember:
> Swing you legs hard to get up higher. (not too hard that you fall over)
> TURN YOUR HIPS.
> The closer your legs are to your face, the better it looks. It's easier to balance as well.
Ok hope that helped. Remember... PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT.
