      I'd have to say the one that made the biggest impression on me was Halls in the Ultimate Fighter. While your double spinner against Ellenberger is right up there, I honestly feared for that dudes life after he got hit by Hall. You could even see it on Hall, he celebrated for a few seconds then was like "damn, this dude got messed up."

      @@vipr1142 Watch some of his earlier UFC matches like against Stigen or Whittaker then watch his most recent fight against Luque. He not only is faster, but he's deadly accurate & not to mention he broke both of his hands & never stopped throwing em until the bell. Stronger doesn't really matter as much with fighters like Wonderboy & Stylebender because they're accurate. They don't swing & hope, they aim & fire.

    I practiced this while training Karate and Tae Kwon-Do before transitioning to Muay Thai. This is the best and easiest way to do it. In stage one, when turning to look over your shoulder, i like to follow with the arms to use as counterweight when the kick is executed. I do this to avoid overrotation.

    • @kbanghart
      @kbanghart Před 2 lety

      I'm getting old and never been good at spotting or spinning, so it pretty much sucks. So I guess I have to find a way to work around it. The way I've been taught, so far, is to look towards your target just enough to get an idea of where it's at, then throw the kick, that helps make sure the heel is up, is that right?
