3 SNEAKY Spinning Backfist Setups

You typically won't catch me doing spinning techniques in a fight, but when I do, here are 3 of my favourite ways to set up the spinning backfist!

Whenever someone consistently backfists, I bob and counter with an overhand so their own momentum causes them to crash into the punch. Once they see what I'm doing, I'll usually telegraph a slow backfist so they try to do the same thing to me, but I'll turn it into a spinning back kick instead, usually getting them right in their (now lowered) face. Always gently, of course! Haven't injured a training partner yet. But I always get a bunch of ''ooieeee's'' after both of those tricks haha

It's so awesome watching you evolve your craft over the years man. Great stuff

With a little bit of distance adjustments, these setups could be use for other spinning techniques as well (spinning elbow, spinning side kick....), and i love the first one, use it all the time. Great stuffs as always

What about the Hurricane Askren?
You didnt cover the deadliest spinning back fist

I'm trying to start my own gym and watching your progression really helps with coming up with a curriculum there's always a thousand ways to skin a cat keep up the great work

Nice. Another good one I love using is setting up the opponent with a simple double jab or 1-2 combo that they can slip. Then another jab followed by the spinning backfist -- which they slip right into off the jab, making the collision worse. 💥

When fighting who is very low kick heavy I’ll bait them with an open leg and spin as soon as they kick the leg. It’s pretty effective

[tkmfischerman]

Damn, this is so much better and technical than the way most people throw it.
I often see the average people throwing this at random and out of range just to prove that they know stuff.

[COACH_ANTHONY_MMA]

I always hit like before I watch the video and I am never disappointed.

[Atius]

I've used all those set ups before. Another I like is to pull their leg into me after I caught it, pass it to the other hand and have them run into a spinning backfist or elbow depending how close they are.

I love your humility in showing failed attempts. You are the cure for the toxic “I’m always good” masculinity out there

[whoknows]

Thanks man always looking for new techniques to improve and include into my sparring.

Learned so much from you already. Keep up the good work.

[gbruceg]

Good advice to keep your palms down. If your fist has the thumb up and hit the target with your elbow 1st, bad things will happen.
Which is why it is important to get your sites on the target before you strike.
