Video: How Do I Spin Wheel Kick in Karate?

Jeff Sidner of the South Minneapolis National Karate School tells us how he got into karate and gives us a couple tips on form.

Editor's Note: Ask Me Anything runs every Wednesday.  Know an expert in Golden Valley who's got some secrets of his/her craft to share? Let us know.

Did you grow up idolizing one of the many versions of The Karate Kid? In this week's Ask Me Anything, Jeff Sidner, senior director of South Minneapolis National Karate school, shows us how to do a spin wheel kick.

Sidner got into karate in 1989. Karate boosted his confidence and taught him how to avoid dangerous situations. In 2000, he ranked fifth in the black belt heavyweight division of the North American Sport Karate Association. He's currently the top-ranked regional competitor in fighting and forms in the over-30 division.
