Prodigy-Child Posted October 11, 2001 Posted October 11, 2001 ok people how many of you use the spinning back fist? me? well training and living in canada we dont use it because it is an illegal technique....i kinda favour this because the 2 or 3 times that i have fought in the states i have always gotten a black eye from my oponents elbows because they dont extend their arm all the way and second i think it is kinda a cheesy move what do you people think?

Kickbutt Posted October 12, 2001 Posted October 12, 2001 I've used it in class, but never when sparring - no reason, just never thought of it as practical I guess. I think it's a pretty cool move to watch someone do if they're fast, but I've only ever used it on a target.

kicker Posted October 12, 2001 Posted October 12, 2001 same here with kickbutt!! i use it on the bag and in class but not in sparring!!! when you do your best it`s going to show. "If you watch the pros, You will learn something new"
Angus Posted October 12, 2001 Posted October 12, 2001 I've used it effectively a couple of times: Attacker: Cross punch, Me: Front hand tap punch across my body and spinning back fist to his ear. Didn't knock him down but i dazed him. I've done that one a couple of times. There was another one against a spinning kick, i copped a bit of a kick in the kneck but i swiped his nose with the spinning fist. It's not my favourite move but it does have some good applications. Angus Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear.
Karateka_latino Posted October 13, 2001 Posted October 13, 2001 No. never use it on sparring. maybe i'll try soon.
kicker Posted October 13, 2001 Posted October 13, 2001 go for it see what happens!! when you do your best it`s going to show. "If you watch the pros, You will learn something new"
Iron Arahat Posted October 13, 2001 Posted October 13, 2001 It's an effective surprise in a ring bout maybe once. I saw a guy use it at the Canadian San Shou Nationals, it was fairly effective, unfortunately he used it too much, and was Ko'd his next fight.

KickChick Posted October 16, 2001 Posted October 16, 2001 The backfist is underestimated by a lot of martial artists. The backfist if done correctly with a whipping motion, is always going to be faster than your fastest punch and can generate equivalent power. Try not to draw back your hand when you start the attack and do not move your shoulders. This is in line with the one inch punch principle where your entire body generates the power.
Prodigy-Child Posted October 17, 2001 Author Posted October 17, 2001 i dont think it is that great of a technique.......even when done properly i have seen many good fighters get knocked out while using this because they forget to cover their chin with their shoulder and i have gotten a few cuts and black eyes from this technique cuz people keep jamming their elbow instead of their fist into me You can boo me if you want, You know I'm right!-Chris Rock
kickbuttnat Posted October 17, 2001 Posted October 17, 2001 :lol: :lol: well.....extremely Funny story here!............. i think its a great move, v powerful if applied correctly! i know this cos i did it on the pads once and the person holding the pads moved them and i somehow managed to smack the wall full force, my knucle being pushed out of place on my fist, AGONY! i had to have it pushed back in place :lol: i laugh about it now! at the time it KILLED!!!!
