joesteph Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 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.
