LOL I think its really funny where what he is wearing flies up on him when he dose the flip. The dynamics must be doing something right.

It's looking very cute so far I like the char model can't wait to see him fully animated.

On the back flip, I think his leading leg would go a bit higher before his body follows.
Looking good!

Also, I think his initial 2 swings lack power.
Keep it up!

For the anticipation for the backflip, I think he needs more obvioius anticipation for the leap.
Kinda like this:

I dont know how 'cartoony' or 'real' your looking to make the action, but on the roundhouse kick, the body should be more vertical, but it isn't much of a problem. The knees chamber position though should be higher and closer to the body, and atm, the kick just look like a swing. Insted the kick should be straight and snap back straight into the chamber position as he spins around. Not only does this give you more power when executing the kick, it look more powerful.
Like i said though, if it's a more cartoony action, then it dosent have to look as realistic as i explained, but as the essence of cartoon action is just an exaduration of real life i'd though i mention it.
Yeah, but no but yeah but no....
