Spinning Rear Kick in Kickboxing

Video Transcript

"Hi I'm Andrew Bridden here on behalf of expertvillage.com I'm at the Arizona Center of Mixed Martial Arts I'm a fighter here as Tony Diaz we would be demonstrating a couple of techniques today. This one is going to be the spinning rib kick. This technique is not a traditional Muay Thai technique but we use it regardless because it could be very effective in fighting and sparring. The way that this kick is used is I'm going to turn like that, keeping my eyes on my opponent to the last minute and as the kick comes out I'm going to wipe my head over to the other shoulder and come back to the kick. So it is very important that you see your target before you kick. If I don't see my target before I kick the kick is not going accurate, it is not going to hit the attend target. Like this. I will miss because I didn't see my target before I kicked. This could also be used off of a switch stance was when this is my power leg but, if I want to throw off the other leg I'm going to have to switch my stance before I do so. So I would switch here and then start to kick this like I did before. Again this is not a traditional Muay Thai kick. We don't teach it as such but, it is effect to be used in sparring: the spinning rib kick."
