That’s how I do it, but back kicks were taught to me like a mule kick - some would tell me I was doing more of a jumping spinning side kick - looked like yours.
To me the spinning sidekick allows the shoulder to over rotate forward allowing more space for the opponent to enter and leaves your head towards the opponent if you miss. I prefer the actual back kick (mule like as you said) because it places my head farther out of range.
@@NXG_HQ I gotcha - me, too - the instructor used to tell me to kick upward like a mule but I was coming a bit across - it was effective for me though in competition.
Great advice man, keep it up! 🗿🍷
Appreciate the support!
