interesting to see the kung fu way to do this. different styles execute this in different ways.

I did it against some body swinging at my head wildly and crouched down a lil using it to the body. Instead of playing his game and it worked. I didn't put much thought into it, I was just trying to be like water lol.

Thanks so much for the detailed demonstration!

[squifflessquaffles]

I should work on my backfists more! Great stuff!

[davidhamberlin]

actually had to use this MOVE I LEARNED HERE on some idiot at a grocery store. VERY EFFECTIVE, but it got me sued. I won in court so I guess I beat him twice???? lol

spinning backfist with the lead or the rear hand?

[КолаРашаЛукашук]

I usually use my backfist to recover after big overhand or powerful hook that missed due to the oponent stepping back or i use it after couple of fast light jabs (concentrate on chest area so that oponent may lower his guard) in philly shell.

I am right fist oriented too. I was taught to spin the opposite direction! More velocity on the strike

[Creative_Amol]

Nice video... Thank you so much... But, what if your opponent is taller than you... Considering spinning back fist

[tommycordero]

Be careful when you execute the spinning back fist if your target too close to you and your elbow hit the target instead of fist your elbow will hyper extended and dislocate.

[shakirahmed]

Works very well for me especially since I fight exclusively from a bladed stance where attack options from the rear side are very limited.. use the hook low kick and hook body kick too.. good and very effective stuff

Good Job I'm Glad you didn't show how to do this fighting move too fast because then we would understand how to do in detail after you explained how to do it.

It is a good video on the back fist and spinning backfist. The only thing, is to bring your non striking hand up a little higher to protect the other side of your face, while spinning. Because you are giving up your back for a split second. If you are going against a experience, skilled fighter, he or she can easily block that spinning backfist and throw a over right to your face, because you didn't have your guard up, protecting the other side of your face. But the video is still a good. Thank you.

Does the first back-fist strike work in MMA? It seems to leave you exposed

[midnighter]

It works good as combo back first. Spinning back fist. Back fist. Don't climb on bob kids OSS

[TheBeastofTrinity]

The backfist is my favorite knockout move. I usually kiss my fist first. Very effective towards pests and bullies.

[itsellacosta]

Hold up. I did a back fist punch in the boxing match is that illegal?? I really didn't know at the time I just knew if I didn't do it I would gotten countered

[mettaworldbuckets]

Works well from Philly shell lead hand already low and perfect position and body angle I will make my signature move in mma

[daleharris]

Hey I spin all the way around and strike. My impact force has a total of 360 degrees of momentum.

The Impact force has enough energy to break bones and cause serious damage to ones own hand.

I practice this as my primary defensive move even if I miss.

When I execute this manuver my target is always several feet beyond the contact point. So there is never an anticipated moment of impact .

I do my best to KO my opponent on the first strike.

Why do you wear the scarf round your waist. I almost ignored your video as it seemed pretentious until I saw your amazing vid about double leg take down. I don’t mean offence
