Spin Back Kick

Coaching cues

• Stand in a fighting stance with feet shoulder-width and hands up.
• Shift weight to the lead leg and pivot on its ball, turning your hips and head to spot the target over your shoulder.
• Chamber the rear leg by bringing the knee across and heel toward the glute, toes pointing down.
• Extend the hip and knee to drive the heel straight back along a linear path, striking with the heel.
• Keep the core braced and torso slightly inclined forward; maintain balance on the supporting foot.
• Re-chamber the leg immediately after contact, then set it down and return to your stance.
