DEFENSIVE BACK KICK WITH A SPIN

Combatives

Krav Maga training de-emphasizes complicated kicks. However, of the
“fancier” techniques, spinning back kick is the most practical because the
direction of the kick opposes any forward motion of an attacker.

STARTING POSITION: Left-leg-forward fighting stance, facing an opponent.

1. Step your left foot across and forward slightly. Turn sharply so that the heel
of your forward (base) foot is pointing at the target. Your back is also to the
target, but turn your head so that you can see the target. You should be in the

same position as a regular Back Kick (page 160).
