Scott Adkins himself has a signature kick based off this, he did it best as his role of Yuri Boyka. That kick along with JCVD makes them the 2 best kickers of all time in my opinion.
I don't care how many spins modern martial artists do these days, this kick belongs to JC himself, nobody else mastered it exactly like he did back then..
Definitely, JC owns it and he can keep it lol its a pretty looking kick that wouldn't work in real life, unless it's done to someone on the street with no martial arts background whatsoever 😁
Best Helicopter kick in the world by Jean Claude Vandamme. His signature fighting technique. No one does it better than the Muscles of Brussels. What a true inspiration for all martial arts film lovers
Thats one hell of a helicopter kick in the thumbnail pic! He was able to do it perfect in his prime! That demo at the Budo Gala event was crazy to see...he just hops like nothing!
Van Damme IS our generations Bruce Lee. He mastered his kicks like no one before and there will be no one after. Is because of those kicks a lot of us of the majority of us got interested in martial arts. Respect to the man.
I agree but van damme had better kicks than bruce lee actually way better. bruce lee kicks were a little stiff and not fully extended but bruce was faster mainly because he was lighter.
@@dassolosyndikat5113 I hear you. You are right. Bruce Lee took Martial arts to the world basically, Van Damme did the same with his unique style also.
wow i gotta say that was amazing to watch that timeline. at the beginning of his career he did that kick alot, more then i realized. I liked the transition from double impact when bolo gets electrocuted and the fire starts into the end scene of universal soldier with van damme standing in front of the fire, great editing there.
I was avid fan of van damme.. And i love his kicks..especially the helicopter kick... And started karate watching his movies. The kickboxer and bloodsport.
I haven't seen another martial artist doing this kick so perfectly. Probably his most iconic move and one of the most hyping moves in martial arts movies.
I love it when Jean-Claude Van Damme does the helicopter spin kick I love it I don't know why that's one of the famous movies that he does in his movies and to this day that's like one of the coolest kicks he ever does with the helicopter spin kick I love it and me as a fan but it's amazing how he does it though.
One thing massively overlooked imo is VD's ballet training... I wish someone would ask him about it. It improves your jumping abilities and technique to no end.
Cinematically it is one of the most beautiful kicks performed by Van Damme, such as Stallone's obliques, Bruce Lee's side kicks, Scott Adkins' tornado kick, Seagal's techniques, even Bud Spenser's slaps lololol. There are dozens of martial artists who have inspired thousands of people with their hard work, and that's what matters...
The best onscreen martial arts move there is!!. My favourite is the one he get's Tong Po with in Kickboxer. I never get bored watching Van Damme execute this move or any other move for that matter. Legend!!.
Hello, Viking Samurai. There will never be another Jean Claude Van Damme. While I've seen many great Martial Artists, Van Damme is unique among them. TERRANCE OUT
Thank you for sharing this awesome video of my early teenage year's icon. As we speak. I turned my whole garage into a bona fide home gym with 2 benches, one universal multi purpose machines, a collection of dumbells starting at 5lbs all the way to 70lbs (will purchase a set of 80 on fathers day), more than 1000 pounds of free weights, a punching bag stand, a stationary bike, and plenty of rubber mats across the garage. And to add to the aura of this holy shrine to fitness, I have plenty of inspirational posters, but it wouldn't be completed if I not only had a huge poster of Bruce Lee, but a few of my icon, Jean Claude Van Damme. Yes, I have the poster of Lionheart, along with him doing the splits in the air in the movie Bloodsport, and today, May 13 of 2022, I should be getting the poster of Death Warrant. Along with playing Slayer via Bluetooth on my speakers, those posters of my icon inspire me to do an extra rep with 315lbs on the bench press or an extra rep with 405lbs on the squat rack, although st my age, I'm cutting back on performing those He-Manic lifts and doing more reps (12 to15 reps) with lighter weight, concentrating on dumbells and cable work instead, and including some punching bag work right after each session (3 sets of 3 minute rounds per say).
@@VikingSamurai and an awesome investment. If I learned something from the 2020 lockdown is that I dont need to be at the mercy of the box gyms anymore and I can put in the work to create the environment that suits me. I have been working out since 14 years of age (Sept 6th, 1990 to be exact) and remember a time when folks used to go to the gym to actually...work out. Today's environment is one I cannot really fathom nor tolerate anymore. From the overcrowded facilities, to the lack of hygiene of some members that don't wipe the machines nor benches after they use it, from every piece of equipment taken, not to mention, dumbbells tossed all over the place, weights left unreracked, too many "princesses" that all they wanna do is take selfies, to the horrible easy listening or trap music from the speakers (i hate using headphones) to the rude fitness staff, I say in 2020, I had enough. Now, I can blast Slayer or Iron Maiden on my speakers and just hit the Iron like folks did in my day, and have no excuse to miss a workout. Heck, I just finished training legs about one hour ago. The only thing I miss is maybe having a spotter. But other than that, yeah, having my own home gym is a great investment.
@@AccountantProOT I like both... I built up a home gym during covid in my basement that has enough things to get the job done.. I do like some commercial gyms though... but the one I mainly go to now doesn't have most of the problems you listed luckily lol
To The best TH-cam Channel Viking Samurai 🙌 , u put a video So Incredible, I hope JCVD is watching it too. There's no one else that can top JCVD or Viking Samurai TH-cam Channel.. God bless you Viking Samurai, ur guest , ur family and your Channel.
I think the ones in Kickboxer are the best.. but I'd say my favorite JCVD kicking movie might be Cyborg. I remember when Double Impact came out on VHS & before school I watched the Bolo fight like 5 times one morning. Awesome stuff , VS. And we all know he's got one more on screen helicopter kick left!
Absolutely outstanding!!!! No CGI no wirework, just PURE talent. It was his signature kick and in Bloodsport he does it 4 times against Bolo. I loved the soundtrack you used Viking Samurai, I think this is your best work so far. ☯️
Love this! Thanks for putting it together! Each day I go to TKD class I try and work on different aspects and movements of the kick. Hopefully I can put it together by the end of the year. Your IG videos doing this kick also help a lot so thanks for posting them.
If you are a teenage boy in the 90s you more than likely attempted that flying kick. Sure you'd look silly sometimes, but what an awesome time that was when we had guys like Van Damme as one of our heroes
It's a beautiful kick. Not the strongest as you hit with the side of your feet like in a crescent kick as opposed to the heel but it is a beautiful kick when JCVD performs it, for sure.
Van damme had the best kicks in human history nobody comes close and i mean nobody! Seriously i have seen them all his kicks were the best ever! People that don't admit that are jealous simple as that.
@@dassolosyndikat5113 Do you know who Tan Tao Liang is? In my opinion his kicking makes Jean Claude look like a green belt. Of course, we don't know how well either of them or any other martial arts movie star could actually use their kicks for real fighting (& please don't quote Jean Claude's kickboxing "record" ...).
@@BRUCEJJ66 not even close to van damme there's no power in his kicks and i just to told you i have seen them all. the best fighters in the world i know about them all. There is nobody out there with a weight above 180 pounds that can kick like van damme usually the ones that can kick very well are light and not as strong van damme is the full package.
Van Damme is so awesome - The helicopter kick he did in 'No Retreat No Surrender' was my favourite as you actually see it connect with his opponent and it's fast and looks practical and very very cinematic. Seeing them in a compilation like this is awesome as you can see the variations of them over the years, Van Damme is a genius actor and the variations are obviously deliberate because of the tone of the scenes and shot angles and he is a great under-rated actor who can do both physical, comical, melodramatic performances and any kind of acting. It's almost as if he knew these kicks will be reviewed later by cinema lovers and martial arts lovers over the years, hence the different variations of the kicks and their angles. Thank you for compiling this Viking Samurai - Love this video - Now I am very much looking forward to seeing Van Damme do this famous kick in his next movie!.
100% Have To Admit No Martial Artist Does Or Did The Spinning Back Kick Better Than Van Damme He Just Nails It Better Than Anyone Else 👌 That Fight At The End Of Universal Soldier Jcvd vs Dolph Lundgren One Of My Favourite Ever Fight Scenes Some Of Van Damme's Kicks Were Awesome.
Yeah whether or not Van Damme is a good "fighter" is besides the point...he has inspired millions of boys and men around the world to lift, take up martial arts and even dance.
My good pal Nic put in two weeks work back in 1999 to try to perform this kick. His kick (only one way - his right kicking leg) was (after 2 weeks) as good as JCVD. It was a thing to be saluted. Nic couldn’t really fight well but I was astounded how similar it looked and how effortless it was for him to copy this cool move - AND totally fucking jealous, of course!
I forget how *Charles Bronson* was a precursor to Stallone as a muscular action star. Hard Times AKA The Streetfighter (1975) always stuck in my head for having more realistic fight choreography than the vast majority of films.
@@amk8411 Charles Bronson just doesn't get enough credit period. He is without question one of the founding fathers of the action movie genre. I remember reading an interview years ago where Stallone talked about how he admired Bronson and was a huge fan. Hard Times absolutely inspired all of the 90s street fighting movies like Lionheart as well. It's a tremendously good movie.
Absolute Masterpiece Never knew to now it was called the helicopter kick He definitely owns this move & should be more recognised for it. I always tried this as a kid & there was no way I was gonna achieve it (just being honest) My recommendation if you wana achieve anything near this move is to work on strengthening your core & work ‘a little’ on stretching Many have put their backs out trying this I bet. JCVD you inspired millions to take up martial arts I salute you 🙏🏼
I could do that kick back in the 90’s. Buuut not as perfect. He was THE Martial arts God. I started practice stretching after watching bloodsport and could do alot of kicking before my parentes allowed me to start to Martial arts. They were worried that i would become violent by training Martial arts but we all know that it is not so. You get selfcontrol by training. But i was a tempered little boy Then. One of my friends dad talked to my parents and they allowed me to start training Tae Kwon Do and the instructors where bafflede when i showed up and allready could do a lot of the kicking mowements because i had seen Bloodsport and trained myself to do split at that time. It learned me that If you want something bad enough you Can get it with hard work and dedication. ❤😊
True story, when I was 16 years old working my first job me and coworkers aways talked about fighting movies and one day he was preparing to do something and I’m like what’s is he going to do and he did the helicopter kick but I naturally ducked it and Counterpunch with a straight punch to the face and the employees were like wowww Because it looks just like a movie scene. I miss those days when fighting movies were popular.
Ive never seen Hard Target, is that movie good? I always loved JCVD's look with a mullet, he looks like he did only with darker hair in Replicant (a film i also enjoyed)
Scott Atkins described JC as the "gold standard" when it comes to the helicopter kick and he is absolutely right.
Scott Adkins himself has a signature kick based off this, he did it best as his role of Yuri Boyka. That kick along with JCVD makes them the 2 best kickers of all time in my opinion.
@klmasi the guyver kick
@@nunosantos00JCVD has no knowledge of Thai boxing or Taekwondo
@@nunosantos00 spinning kicks is karate. Knees and elbows he never uses. Even in kick-boxer he just does karate 😂
His ballet and dancing background made this kick the best
I don't care how many spins modern martial artists do these days, this kick belongs to JC himself, nobody else mastered it exactly like he did back then..
For sure. He owns that kick
Agreed with 100% mate
Gary Daniels and David Bradley were good at it, but Van Damme will always be the king.
Definitely, JC owns it and he can keep it lol its a pretty looking kick that wouldn't work in real life, unless it's done to someone on the street with no martial arts background whatsoever 😁
@@eddiesambolin7257 how's them lemons taste 😂
JCVD Kicks are a thing of beauty! Nobody does it better on film.
His movies definitely popularized martial arts especially kickboxing and karate
Best Helicopter kick in the world by Jean Claude Vandamme. His signature fighting technique. No one does it better than the Muscles of Brussels. What a true inspiration for all martial arts film lovers
Van Damme did the helicopter kick better than anyone. I think him taking ballet help him do it very gracefully. Thanks for posting my friend.
Yess yess you're abselutely correct my friend😎🖒
There will never be another Van Damme, his kicks where from another world, the best martial arts action star ever period.
Helicopter kick in a suit!! Only JCVD can do it!!
This move became a trademark from JCVD.
Thats one hell of a helicopter kick in the thumbnail pic! He was able to do it perfect in his prime! That demo at the Budo Gala event was crazy to see...he just hops like nothing!
The helicopter kick from hard target is Epic . In slow motion , Damn!!!!!
Best one!
JCVD 360 Helicopter Kick will be a lifetime forever.
He had the best kick's of all times
Hey do does spilt machine work no matter the agee
One of my best martial actors. Wish he could be my teacher
AND...this is why JCVD is LEGEND..NUFFSAID!

@@axelstone3131 hey we all got different opinions. Respect that.
@@munchies4529it's not a opinion tho it's the truth van damme couldn't lick bruce Lee's boots as a martial artist he would tell you that himself
I always liked the kick from the beginning of No retreat, No surrender. No slow-mo or fancy camerawork, only pure technique and brutality.
Probably the best video on the internet. This one's going to get millions of views.
Great video 👍👍🙌👏👏👊
This guy no how to kick to the next level noone kick like vandamne this kick cant destroy every martial artist on the planet this guy is amazing 🦿🚁
Viking Samurai man I love this video I grew up watching Van Damme movies love those hits.

I was proud of that fire edit lol, thanks!
I was avid fan of van damme..
And i love his kicks..especially the helicopter kick...
And started karate watching his movies. The kickboxer and bloodsport.
Stunning technique, still the most graceful kicker to ever make it to the big screen, true inspiration
I might be wrong but I heard he did ballet to help with flexibility and his gracefullnes
I haven't seen another martial artist doing this kick so perfectly. Probably his most iconic move and one of the most hyping moves in martial arts movies.

For me the most perfect kick captured on movies, was in first place "kickboxer", " second place " bloodsport".
The one he did in No retreat no surrender wearing the white suit is flawless.
One thing massively overlooked imo is VD's ballet training... I wish someone would ask him about it. It improves your jumping abilities and technique to no end.

JCVD did the helicopter kick in Black Eagle as well I think, him and Sho Kosugi were an awesome pairing
Probably because they didn't get along on set and so some of the sparring got so intense that the director and crew had to break them up.

I'd put prime Van Damme over Bruce Lee, Jet Li, Seagal, Stallone, and every other martial arts actor in a real fight. He's always been my hero
Michael Jackson had the moonwalk
JCVD has the helicopter kick
1:56 only guy to dance like that after a jumping spinning kick. 😏
It's looks fun and you can use it for a finishing move no problem 😊
3:53 believe me Jean Claude, we all said that when watching😅. It was too short of a fight.
Absolute Masterpiece
Never knew to now it was called the helicopter kick
He definitely owns this move & should be more recognised for it.
I always tried this as a kid & there was no way I was gonna achieve it (just being honest)
My recommendation if you wana achieve anything near this move is to work on strengthening your core & work ‘a little’ on stretching Many have put their backs out trying this I bet.
JCVD you inspired millions to take up martial arts I salute you
🙏🏼
We need vilian twin brother to be in ex 4.... i think that would crush the record of 1 actor playing 2 people.
Jcvd best of the best the big legend forever
I could do that kick back in the 90’s. Buuut not as perfect. He was THE Martial arts God. I started practice stretching after watching bloodsport and could do alot of kicking before my parentes allowed me to start to Martial arts. They were worried that i would become violent by training Martial arts but we all know that it is not so. You get selfcontrol by training. But i was a tempered little boy Then. One of my friends dad talked to my parents and they allowed me to start training Tae Kwon Do and the instructors where bafflede when i showed up and allready could do a lot of the kicking mowements because i had seen Bloodsport and trained myself to do split at that time. It learned me that If you want something bad enough you Can get it with hard work and dedication.
