Ushiro Mawashi Geri (Spinning Hook Kick) | Full Contact Karate

Short ‘how to’ tutorial with some key points that I see many people are missing, both when demonstrating this kick (Ushiro Mawashi Geri) on YouTube, but also in practice.
These simple changes can massively improve your kick!

This kick is present in many martial arts including Karate, Taekwondo, Kung Fu etc. What I'm demonstrating here is the Kyokushin Karate variant.

This technique is viable in all sorts of striking contexts and martial arts, including Karate, Taekwondo, MMA, Kickboxing and Muay Thai.

The kick can sometimes be very predictable if used offensively, but I personally think it works better as a counter. Good video BTW.

Hey, these tutorials have so much potential. It's very clear, simple and well explained. Perfection of Kyokushin karate brought to my home. Thank you.

Pulling off this kick is my goal by 2nd or 1st kyu. Hopefully I can get my flexibility up to the point where I can do it!

one of the hardest kick to get right (not leaning forward/backward), nice tut man !!

Spinning kick from the back foot is risky. From fighting stance it is practical and fast, only if opponent tries to escape your central line, from the side where your rear foot is.
How do you use it if opponent escapes from the other side?
Your technique is nice.
We use this kick in capoeira and its called "Armada". Must be very careful for take down( "rasteira" )when using it. Rasteira on armada, can find you floating in the air with enough time to think what you did wrong, before landing on your ass.

Old school tournaments back in the 1960s, the Japanese stylist didn't do Spinning Kicks, did front kicks, side kicks, back kicks and other than the roundhouse aimed at the head, they kept their kicks aimed at the mid-section. The Korean stylist who popularized the high kicks- spinning hooks, tornado kicks, etc. Chuck Norris edge was his spinning back/spinning hook kick.

Excellent! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.

I could do any kick with ease back in the day, but now, this one is quite challenging. I'll try your way. I know I am trying to do the impossible, but I try anyway. :-)

I want to have an infinite loop of that kick of yours. It is so satisfying.

Flexibility is a must! I remember I could do dis kick wit somewhat limited flexibility, but then I discovered how inflexible I was! Now, I can kinda do dis kick wit significant height, but... I feel a little pain in da adductors; particularly my right leg.

[krisnasutanandika]

In taekwondo we called this kick as Dwi Momdollyo huryeo chagi

[goukhanakul]

I use dominant right hand forward jab, left hook head or body then up back right elbow then come around with left hook kick rotation out or sometime faint the right back elbow then hook kick with faster rotation on the half beat

going up against a spinning kick is tough. The power from the heel all the way to the inner circle where the torso spins can catch someone who attacks forward. Better to get out of the way of that power.
