Crossing vs Spinning Back Kick

[pete_hmmm]

Anybody can tell me the difference of these two....

On the spinning does the lead foot move to the right then spin right around (in a right hand stance)

How does it differ from a crossing back kick

thanks

Also, another question

What is being said when stances are being switched ... when my sensei calls out 1 , 2 , 3 for the left side..... he then yells something that sounds like, "ACEsh!!!!" or something then everyone switches the stance from a right hand to left handed

thanks for any help

peace

You should not have to move your front foot over to do a spinning kick. You can do it, but it is a telegraphing motion, if you ask me. Of course, sometimes the footwork will be necessary, depending on the situation.

I'm not exactly sure what a crossing back kick is, so I cannot help you there.

thanks for the welcome

yeah, i think the crossing back kick is you cross your back leg over your front then turn then back kick ... i dunno was wondering if others knew.

The way we perform it, and this may or may not be the same thing pete is talken about. Say for instance you are in a right side fighting stance (right foot is facing opponent).....you take your left foot "cross" it behind the right foot making an "X", then performing a back kick with your right leg. That make sense?....Thats how we do it anyway......

This move, I am familiar with. You can do the same with a hook kick, or a round kick. However, to do a spin like this, I dunno....

That sounds like it....

Doing a back kick, you basically do a 180, then kick straight back, whereas when you do the spin kick, it gets fired by the torque of your spin. At least, that's how we practice it.
