spinning kicks
Turning leg attacks
Spinning kicks are martial arts techniques where the fighter rotates their body before striking with the leg, using momentum to generate power.
Common in taekwondo, kickboxing, and mixed martial arts, varieties include the spinning back kick, spinning hook kick, and spinning heel kick.
The rotation makes them harder to telegraph but riskier if they miss: He caught his opponent with a devastating spinning kick to the head.
