SPINNING HEEL KICK

Combatives

Spinning heel kick is one of the most difficult kicks to learn. It involves a certain

amount of comfort/trust in one’s own body movement. However, spinning heel
kick may be considered slightly more practical than spinning outside slap kick
because the weapon (the heel) tends to be harder than the side of the foot, and
because the kick requires slightly less spin to be delivered with strength.

STARTING POSITION: Left-leg-forward fighting stance, facing a target.

1. Take a diagonal step with your forward (left) foot. This step helps the kick by
shortening the degree of the turn.
