Spinning Kicks - Any Use?
We were practicing spinning wheel kicks and spinning hook kicks in class on Wednesday. This kicks have made me more athletic but that really seems to be the main benefit of these kicks. In a standup match, no takedowns allowed, I always resort a variety of punches, basic jab kicks (front, side, etc) and basic rear leg kicks (roundhouse, etc.). Has anyone had any success with the spin kicks in competition? I've seen the spin kick used with some success. It really leaves you vunerable to openings, though. Thanks!
