I was on a training flight with a student in Cessna [172]. We were dispatched; METAR was showing wind from 120 at 8 gusting to 14 at the moment; which is within the maximum demonstrated crosswind component described in POH; and also lower than the insurance policy.During the preflight we did not find any issue would affect safety of flight. Then; we followed the procedure described in checklist and the instruction from Ground Control as every other flight will do.We started to taxi with crosswind correction; everything was going normal and as expected. Suddenly I feel our tail is rising from the right side and the aircraft is flipping to the left and forward; then the propeller stroke on the ground as well as the left wing tip. At the moment we immediately bring power to idle and I made sure both of us are not on the brake or rudder. The whole aircraft was still driven to the left side; and turned 180 degrees into the grass near [the] taxiway.
Cessna 172 Instructor reported losing control of the aircraft while taxiing in crosswind conditions; resulting in a runway excursion and damage to the aircraft.
