spinning back kick

Turning rear thrust

A spinning back kick is a martial arts technique where the fighter rotates their body away from the opponent, then drives the heel backward into the target.

The spin generates significant power, making it one of the more devastating kicks when it lands.

Common in taekwondo, kickboxing, and mixed martial arts: She knocked him out with a spinning back kick to the liver.
