Maybe "half facing", between side and full facing would be a better description. . . .

. . . I don't know exactly what kickboxers like to do . . . but the option is definitely there to spin. Being side on doesn't take the rear leg out of the equation for normal (non-spin) kicks. Whilst the rear leg does means powerful back kick it also means very powerful roundhouse. Get that going well and its like swinging a sledgehammer into someone's ribs or stomach. Very easy to do rear leg front kick / front pushing kicks too. Rear leg axe is great because you can hide it behind the hands. The only ones I would say aren't so good are the rear leg side kick and hook kicks. Just too slow to get the hip over and round.

Good stance and kicking advice, Danielle. Thanks!

Bill Wallace had a side-on fighting strategy, and was a huge success in full-contact Kickboxing with that strategy.

Superfoot!
