MasterPain Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 I don't consider wrist breaks to be fancy, they're just a part of standing grappling.But no, I would not use a spin kick in self defense. My fists bleed death. -Akuma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tallgeese Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 I don't consider wrist breaks to be fancy, they're just a part of standing grappling.But no, I would not use a spin kick in self defense. how about if you already had punched him and he was rocked?This is the best time to apply a joint manipulation. Tuite is predicated with a stunning motion to actually allow the movement to be successfully applied.On the general topic, I try to never say never. It is HIGHLY doubtful I'd ever do any high risk maneuver such as a spinning kick, ect. in a sd situation. Particularly in my situation since I don't train those tactics enough because I don't see them as a viable response option for me in a realistic sd scenario.Bear in mind, what is fancy for one individual might be routine for another. Now, this still does not mean that the tactic is a good tool for sd; however, if an individual is comfortable with even a high risk tactic he or she has a much higher likelihood of actually pulling it off than someone who has a low level of comfort with it. Still, I would lean towards the idea of no. For me, this also means (as I hint at above) I won't spend alot of time training that tactic. http://alphajiujitsu.com/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJhRVuwbm__LwXPvFMReMww Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxMarks Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Never say never but I can't imagen using a spinning kick for self-defense. I was in a situation years ago. I used a jab, front kick, wrist lock and o soto gari (a basic throw.) Long story on the situation but it involed a drunk and who knows what else guy, going up a full flight of stairs and several attempts to re-enter the building. It sucked. It was basics that got me through.

Dobbersky Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Only ever used basic "short" techniques and basic throws in self defence situations. I have never seen an opportunity to use exotic techniques ever. Except in a Jean Claude Van Dame Movie!!!

MasterPain Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Every time I think about using a spin kick, I imagine James Earl Jones yelling "no" in slow motion. My fists bleed death. -Akuma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wastelander Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 I agree that wrist locks and throws aren't "flashy" and I would use them in a self defense situation. As far as spinning techniques, the only time I would ever use a spinning technique in a self defense situation would be if I happened to already be spinning--like if I was breaking free of a grab from behind, for example. If I was in front of them already there is absolutely no reason for me to turn my back on them to kick them.

DWx Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 I think tallgeese is on the money with "never say never" and it depends on what you're comfortable with. A switch spinning back kick would be considered flashy by most but we use them tons in my school (one of my instructor's fav techniques) and train them a lot inc. in our self defense work so personally I would consider one if the situation called for it.
