- The Spinning Back Kick
It is typically used when your opponent is coming at you. To execute this move, pick up your back leg and spin so that you drive the bottom of your heel into your opponent. This technique looks somewhat like a donkey kicking backward. Make sure you become proficient at the
spinning back kick before attempting it in the ring.
