Quite good!
Except, I suspect either Hes pushing with His punches, or that BOB doesnt have as much weight in it as is claimed, because its swaying around more than usual.
Of course, I may be mistaken. But Theyre usually much more stable under hard impact. That doesnt take away from His athleticism though.

Ah, thatd explain it! Ive never seen or used one with a flexible neck. I stand corrected!
That kid has a few things on YouTube....seems into Martial Arts...very athletic...he mentions tricking so he is a demo guy...these types of kicks increase athletic abiltity which help you on the sport side ...George St Pierre trains in gymnastics for MMA....we do demo kicking about once a week as a part of TKD training...many people say why do you train those kicks they don't work in the ring or on the street! I just shake my head most people just don't get it!
I like what this kid does he seems to have passion! The more varied your training the better!
Kwon Kicker has allot of good stuff to watch!

If were talking about the same guy, which Im pretty sure We are, He also hits damn hard for His size.

Yellow Belt
You are correct, with the right set up (and room) these will be effective. In the usual SD the punches, and especially the spinning back fist, would
work well. Beyond a doubt he is very athletic, very quick. All in all very impressive.
According to this video, for semi contact standup fight I think he could go anywhere: kicks, punches, speed, precision, he realy nailed it all. Probably he also know how to use knees and elbows. And I no doubt that this skill could be used in full contact too, with less trickery of course.
Over all he is passionate, talented, and humble, so I pretty much like him!

I didn't think any of his kicks were performed at free sparring speed. The video was more a demonstration of his flexibility and athleticism, not his speed.
His comments mention that he got "distracted" by tricking and other martial arts a few years ago but he is "now getting back into it [Taekwon-Do]." While I am not a particularly big fan of MA "tricking" it is nice to see that he is retaining the athleticism developed and applying it to some of the more difficult Taekwon-Do flying kicks.

When I say it seems "slow", it's a technique thing, it's not as crisp as it could be. It's not a bad kick, it's just not to the level of his flying kicks.

3rd Black Belt
I enjoyed the video. It shows my personal goal in getting a black belt: comfort and balance in doing most any kick. He's not necessarily the fastest, the hardest hitting etc., but he's quite comfortable doing any kick.
