47MartialMan Posted August 29, 2004 Posted August 29, 2004 personally, i have no intention of doing anything spinning in any real fights. too risky, and one of my things is minimizing the risks as much as possible (which is why i wont kick all that high if at all.) however, i understand the argument because of all spinning manuevers i cant think of a safer one. even a spinning elbow puts you at a different and worse angle, and you have to be closer to hit with that one. still though, id rather just clock the guy. I agree. But a spinning backfast is good after a good block when used as a counter. But I have rearely seen it down in a bar room brawl or streetfight. I have down it only twice within 25 years. I am not wanting to do it again.

battousai16 Posted August 29, 2004 Posted August 29, 2004 heh heh, i couldn't help but chuckle at that, myself. i have this thing about not executing techniques unless i'm sure i have full control and am comfortable with it, and, quite frankly, the spinning backfist is one of those techniques that i'm not that comfortable with. every time i try it in friendly sparring, i've never been able to land it. we'll see. i'll work on it.

Drunken Monkey Posted August 29, 2004 Posted August 29, 2004 i'm 25 and i haven't been studying martial arts seriously for that long. i've just been lucky in that i've had access/exposure from an early age. on and off since i was about 12 (first contact was at about 7-. more off than on. i would say i have been training wing chun for about 4 years. the other styles i have picked up some bits of, were shown to me by various guys at uni and in hk. i've been 'homeless' for the last two years which is when i started to go to the kickboxing and lee gar. post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."
