MizuRyu Posted April 25, 2006 Posted April 25, 2006 When I miss a full roundhouse I tend to turn the momentum into a backfist or elbow. "They look up, without realizing they're standing in the palm of your hand""I burn alive to keep you warm"
Sohan Posted April 25, 2006 Posted April 25, 2006 I go either, 360 or 180, depends on the situation. I am comfortable working righty or southpaw so the position doesn't bother me. I'm happy to throw a spinning elbow if the followup is right, or catch them coming in with a sidekick to the belly. You need to be quick on your feet to pull it off, though, and have good awareness of your opponent.Respectfully,Sohan "If I cannot become one of extraordinary accomplishment, I will not walk the earth."

NeoMstrSgt Posted May 4, 2006 Posted May 4, 2006 I generally find that it is easier for me to go the full 360, since the force of the kick carriers me about 270 anyway. I think the best advice anyone can give is do whatever feels natural.
Thaiboxer Posted July 8, 2006 Posted July 8, 2006 The spin is usually rhe safest option. Make sure when you get back around to leg check and have your hands up. Whenever someone spins on me I try to have a right cross waiting on them when they get back around.. Gravity is the root of lightness; stillness is the ruler of movement. Lao Tzu
elbows_and_knees Posted July 20, 2006 Posted July 20, 2006 I dunno... the back kick option may be the safest, as it allows you to have an attack ready for the incoming attacker instead of a passive block.

elbows_and_knees Posted July 20, 2006 Posted July 20, 2006 that's why I don't spin when I kick any more. put the leg straight down - you see him closing the gap and he impales himself on the kick - the back kick comes off of the leg that did the roundhouse, not off of the supporting leg - there is no spin.

elbows_and_knees Posted July 20, 2006 Posted July 20, 2006 No you won't. Watch manu ntoh kick, for example - he never spins, and I've seen him break an opponent's hip. I have broken an opponent's ribs. Our sister school in denmark (mikenta) does not teach the spin either. It's all in the mechanics.
