Thank you sirNice and slick.
That's a really good and opportunistic application of the technique.
Is it requisite on absorbing the kick on a failed check?
Can you do it after successfully checking with your shin?
Very hard to pull off, I'd expect since you are pivoting on a potentially compromised leg.
Still, early in a fight it could discourage your opponent from throwing too many more, and if it lands perfectly, it could be a fight ender.
The curse of the leg kick is that it costs very little in terms of effort and the rewards are plentiful, so unless there is a cost associated with using it, it gets spammed. As part of your defense, this looks great.
I'd agree with @jitzmonkey you need to check the kick first instead of just eating it.
Thanks for sharing, sir.
Re failed vs. partially failed: totally agree.It was a semi failed check, that kinda pushed me into a angle perfect for throwing a spinning back kick.
So muscle memory kicked in. Going with the flow.
I would it would be more difficult to pull this off from a successful check. It would be a clumsy "delay" before i could do the spinning kick.
Re failed vs. partially failed: totally agree.
I'd imagine that it wouldn't work super well if you ate it (even with your weight off your lead leg; but I've never attempted that, myself.
If I understand this correctly, missing the check (+/-) turned your lead hip over just enough to put you in the perfect position to land the spining back kick
Any other outcome wouldn't have put you in position to execute so perfectly.
if it kick landed on your checking calf, would the rotation of your left foot be too severe to properly execute?
BTW, great post !
This is the type of stuff that we need on this forum.

Definitely not later on unless the opponent is dead tired.would there even be time to do the spin and land it if it's actual fight speed on the kick and also the guy doesn't just stand still in front of him after throwing his leg kick like a sack of potatoes
The fact that you're correct and that all the wild Anthony Pettis showtime KOs/knockdowns, Jorge's Flying destruction of Askren, Buckley's spinning ninja kick, Yair's ducking upward elbow, etc... exist are not mutually exclusive.The scenario's for this to be usable and to actually work would be few and far between. Good move thou.
You haven't aged a minute, you crazy norwegian.
It's the potato quality videos he always uploads you can't see shit lmao. Guy is still using the same digital camera he got for Christmas when he was 12.
