I was taught to lift the knee sideways when starting the kick up, but you tell to point the knee down. It seems more effective, do you have any thoughts?
What a bunch of tards that say you must scope your target AFTER launching the kick.
If you need to see in order to hit, you already fucked up before starting your attack.
Back kicks are supposed to be FAST, so there is zero need for relocating your target.
And when executed properly, a miss will not set you off balance at all, just follow up with a straight punch with the momentum you already have from the rotation = auto course correct, and continue the fight as you normally would.
Hey this guy called Joe Rogan (pretty sure you heard of him, the guy commentates in UFC) says you should not kick upwards because you lose a lot of power. Can you confirm this?
@AznboiY2J the upward kick sneaks in under the guard better and hits the body at the same ngle as the uppercut,its really deceptive and can be done at a closer range.
hey man, looks like a good tutorial.. but the clips change too quickly.. its hard to appreciate and take note of your form.... so could you make the video again, but slower??
thats pathetic, I'd never look away whilst doing this kick. if your opponent is proficient at countering, your fucked. what happens when your opponent counters with a roundhouse?...you get KNOCKED the fuck out because you cant see whats coming
@channelin Then your too fucking slow !!! Back kicks are supposed to be done lightning fast, an opponent may scout it and dodge or block, but countering is insanely hard.
I have years of experience in karate competition, and i do this kick the exact same way.
Scout, position and execute. No need for locating the target twice.
I support the way this guy does it 100% and his explanation in the discription is dead on.
I totally agree with most observers commenting here.This guy needs to get his head around first,and he should be looking at his target.He is a white belt in my opinion.Get your head around first,and look where you will be kicking,first.Opponents have a tendancy of moving,especially when they see you spin.
@sailordude301 Most observers are wrong. Speed is the key to eliminating the need to look twice.
Execute your attack fast enough, and only when your opponent is coming out of an attack or already blocking, and he wont have the time to move. A block is the best most fighters can offer, if that at all.
This kick, done in the exact same way has gotten me plenty of wins.
i did check out some of your other videos and i can see you know what you are doing. did read the description, but please upload another video where you look at the target
He have to keep eyes on his punchbag, He doesn't look in the right direction. The back kick is like an Ushiro geri, Your eyes leads your leg in your target
I absolutely love back kick, if you can do it good and fast whilst keeping an eye on your opponent it will do the job brilliantly. I use it in tournaments all the time, and I have won quite a few because of a fast back kick or axe kick. But if you can't do it fast and keep your balance, don't do it at all. That's what my instructor says.
really good kick dude, but you must look at your target, in any kick you show your back, you must look at it ( I read the description ) and you must kick up to kick your target's head
In your description said that "must look at the target" but in your video you are not looking at your target. i can see that you are not looking in your target. the video is not lying. You are really "NOT" looking at your target you just kick and thats it.
@GPascua You need to work on your reading comprehension, I spent a whole paragraph on this matter and the words "must look at the target" are nowhere near.
@kyryllo why would you not want to look at you're target? What if you go to throw a back kick and where you thought he was he isn't and smacks you before you even turn your head to look at your opponent? In some cases ok maybe you can get away with not looking at your target while executing a move but in most cases it's wise to see where your opponents hits are coming from and not being "blind"
he should be looking at his target. he kicks good but when the time he kicks he is not looking at his target. what if his target is too quick and he just move left and just push him at the back? he will lose his balance. right?
@kyryllo. I love how almost every comment gets responded by '' Please read the description carefully '' or '' bla - bla -bla. Read description , before posting.
@blackblade123 The chamber is only an isolated step while you are in the process of learning the kick. When you mastered the technique the whole kick is one fluent motion.
Since this is a tutorial, the chambering is displayed as an isolated step.
all kicks can be effective in certain situations with the right timing. the way this man does it in the video is good, its a good example for people to learn off so good job.
@TheRealParagon I think this kick comes from beyond, with the muscles of your leg and abdomen, while the sidekick comes from your hip and uses strenght from the full body. Correct me if I'm wrong...
@TheRealParagon Theres a difference between the 2 you retard lol. Back kicks are way better. If someone does a spinning side kick its probably cause they failed at doing a back kick. Doing a spinning side kick leaves you super open if you miss. Back kick= back foot kicking straight out by not chambering to the side.
You are completely clueless and clearly not worth my time. It is obvious that you are too stubborn and pig headed to learn anything. Wallow in your own ignorance if it makes you feel better.
@TheRealParagon It seems like your the clueless one. People that don't know what to say generally say something like that. " Your not worth my time" etc. Bullshit. You just don't know your shit. Thats why the poster of this video says you don't know the difference either. Maybe you should go train in TKD so you know the difference between the two kicks.

Read the description, he is glancing with his eye to see the next move, you aim before you kick, you have no time at all to change your kick after you've launched it.

Man! This vid and all the comments below make we want to take a martial art even more! I've been doing boxing for 4 years now (it's surprisingly more skilled than most people think), and I've been thinking of also doing a martial art - get the legs working. I used to do karate, but we did little sparring/physical contact. I assume that this is taekwondo? Please reply - any suggestions on which martial art I could take that doesn't take years to develop the "instinct" (React before thinking) in
it's not only about the art. it's also about the student. Even if you have the best dojo or sensei in the world, it's useless if you don't give your 100% to it.
@helgard36 Well if you like kicking, you should check out taekwondo. Or you might want to try some kick / thaiboxing.. Your developed boxing skills will really be helpful.
Maybe taekwondo. I did think of doing kickboxing. Certain trainers do kick- and boxing training ie Shane Cameron's trainer. However, despite that the two look very similiar, they turn out to have very different def/attack patterns. There's a chance that i could mess up my form in both if I do both. Something clearly different like tae might be good. Thanks
PS LOL @ "developed boxing skills".Been doing it for four years, & it feels like I haven't improved since the 2nd year-I've hit a wall
@helgard36 I know what you mean. My Muay Thai coach is focussed on fighting only. So all that I do is smacking either the mits, the bags or opponents - no technical training at all..
So yeah that's why I also practice TKD (technique, the "do" and so on..)
first of all it depends on which dojo u went for karate. some places are just fakers lol. any training grounds with legit martial artists would go really hard. this kick is universal, just called differently. just think of it as calling "football" in england and "soccer" in US (lol bad example). since u did boxing i think muay thai or kickboxing would be good ones to start on....and instincts are only available thru hard practice haha :P
to do this kick correctly to the face you need probably both but you can also stand closer to the target, your kick wont be 100% correct in the technical way (for katas or poomse) but you will be able to hit someone his chin withit and then he'll go KO :P gl practicing
it has been my experience that in the split second it takes to turn your body away from the target (opponent) in order to throw the kick, the target will not be able to move much (not enough time), and therefore, you don't HAVE to look at the target over your shoulder; you already know where the target is at in your mind's eye. same thing goes for a back spinning hook kick.
exactly; a reverse side kick has your knee positioned to the side (like a side kick) with the kick coming from the side, and a back kick has your knee positioned down with the kick coming from under the body, shooting upwards towards the target.
it's amazing how many morons can actually read and write, the guy know what he is doing better than any of you haters, if you can do better, post a video response, but morons can only talk big, they can't even think, otherwise they wouldn't criticize the work of an expert, 2 tips for all of you haters and wannabes :
1 get some training.
2 as a consecuence of the previous point, you may learn to be humble.
If you can do that, you will become a little better person and then you won't talk shit :)
I agree. Some people think they can watch UFC and Youtube videos and call themselves fighters. Step in a ring and show your shit before talking smack. The guy in the video will in all likelihood mop the floor with these guys.
since when is that a rule? dropping it down is lettin the momentum flow, recoiling it is if ur just standin around. back kick actually can be used better when u slide ur standing leg to get forward even further, kick deeper, and droppin it down is actually preferred, according to korean grandmasters and masters; its momentum flow, also setting you up for next moves..
looking at the target is not for aiming only, you are not turned around complete after the kick and you need too much time to get in position for another move because and your back is totally uncovered.
What you just wrote doesn't make much sense. Whether you turn your head or not doesn't change anything about the fact that your back still must point towards the target when you kick. And looking at the target doesn't make your body turn around any faster, it just makes your kick slower entirely.
This reminds me of a Chuck Liddell video on the back kick. He felt that, once he saw the target--his opponent--and launched his kick, if the opponent moved while he executed, it wasn't going to connect or be stopped mid-execution by him anyway. Once launched, he was committed. I think that precision has greater necessity when aiming for a target like a board for a board break, as opposed to a larger target, like an opponent. I'd say aim for the midsection on down in a real situation.
You use this thing real quick with a change in footing. Start out left foot forward, end right foot forward. Keep fighting seemlessly.
Not at all to be overused. Yeah, it's dangerous to spin around like that, but if you can read your opponent and know when you can do this, landing this thing will be a real bitch to whoever gets hit.
i need some advice, when i practice this kick my foot is straight up and down, but when i do it that way i always end up spraining my ankle because the balls of my feet hit first, but wen i turn my foot it always turns into a turning side kick, what should i do about this?
look, the guys obviously worth his salt, hes already explained in the text about turning the head!
may i also add.. if you do happen to miss with your lightning fast kick & you have your head cranked so far around so you can "see your target" your chin will be square on just begging for your opponent to switch your lights out! whereas kyryllo has some degree of protection form his shoulder!
im not from a tkd background, im jkd & it makes more sense the way kyryllo is executing this kick!!
I train in Krav Maga and Kali and wanted to tell you that I've really learned a great deal from your videos!
Breaking down the kicks the way you show has really accellerated my learning and I'm now throwing kicks I never thought "I" would be capable of. So thanks for the vids and all the best to you!
nice kick, but you sholud continuosly keep an eye on what you want to kick. It is easy to hit a steady point, but if it moves... it is a different story.
in kyokushin, i am being trained to spin my head, and then while looking to a targeted spot, unleash the force of tension, created with spinning.. bla bla bla, just watch where u kicking.
"if it aint there when he starts the kick, it aint going to be there when he finishes" its not like he can change his kick mid air and switch direction - chuck liddell
Nice video, thanks~!

it has been my experience that in the split second it takes to turn your body away from the target (opponent) in order to throw the kick, the target will not be able to move much (not enough time), and therefore, you don't HAVE to look at the target over your shoulder; you already know where the target is at in your mind's eye. same thing goes for a back spinning hook kick.

but if you look back you can react on a counter attack faster.

it looks like your throwing you foot randomly at the target actulaly turn around and kinf=da like use side kick not retard kick
atorts 2 years ago
That would be a back side kick not a back kick. The two are different.
CASteel1 2 years ago
exactly; a reverse side kick has your knee positioned to the side (like a side kick) with the kick coming from the side, and a back kick has your knee positioned down with the kick coming from under the body, shooting upwards towards the target.

it's amazing how many morons can actually read and write, the guy know what he is doing better than any of you haters, if you can do better, post a video response, but morons can only talk big, they can't even think, otherwise they wouldn't criticize the work of an expert, 2 tips for all of you haters and wannabes :
1 get some training.
2 as a consecuence of the previous point, you may learn to be humble.
If you can do that, you will become a little better person and then you won't talk shit :)

I agree. Some people think they can watch UFC and Youtube videos and call themselves fighters. Step in a ring and show your shit before talking smack. The guy in the video will in all likelihood mop the floor with these guys.

You mus recoil after kick- You drop your leg. After kick you must pull you leg back, not drop it down.
Fjedja 2 years ago
since when is that a rule? dropping it down is lettin the momentum flow, recoiling it is if ur just standin around. back kick actually can be used better when u slide ur standing leg to get forward even further, kick deeper, and droppin it down is actually preferred, according to korean grandmasters and masters; its momentum flow, also setting you up for next moves..

I'm in taekwondo and I suck at this kick, will I'm only a yellow belt so, but its really hard for me :/
TaylorSwift645 2 years ago
looking at the target is not for aiming only, you are not turned around complete after the kick and you need too much time to get in position for another move because and your back is totally uncovered.
cswannek 2 years ago
What you just wrote doesn't make much sense. Whether you turn your head or not doesn't change anything about the fact that your back still must point towards the target when you kick. And looking at the target doesn't make your body turn around any faster, it just makes your kick slower entirely.

youre doing it wrong control your head movement spin tight and fast snap your head around
toxinblades 2 years ago
i agree. ur rotation is so slow because ur not keeping ur body compact. it is viable, but in a tkd match,. u need the speed to get the kick out
AKwakIsAwsome 2 years ago
This reminds me of a Chuck Liddell video on the back kick. He felt that, once he saw the target--his opponent--and launched his kick, if the opponent moved while he executed, it wasn't going to connect or be stopped mid-execution by him anyway. Once launched, he was committed. I think that precision has greater necessity when aiming for a target like a board for a board break, as opposed to a larger target, like an opponent. I'd say aim for the midsection on down in a real situation.

The rear horse/donkey kick is more powerful. Also, it is important not to take the eye of the opponent.
tigershumon 2 years ago
You use this thing real quick with a change in footing. Start out left foot forward, end right foot forward. Keep fighting seemlessly.
Not at all to be overused. Yeah, it's dangerous to spin around like that, but if you can read your opponent and know when you can do this, landing this thing will be a real bitch to whoever gets hit.

I have a question on this kick.
When you execute this technique, do you chamber your leg and then drop your leg down or do you just drop your leg down after delivering the kick?

i need some advice, when i practice this kick my foot is straight up and down, but when i do it that way i always end up spraining my ankle because the balls of my feet hit first, but wen i turn my foot it always turns into a turning side kick, what should i do about this?

no because then this kick isnt as kick, and what's the whole point of a back kick?? its one of the fastest kicks.
MilitantBlackGuy1 3 years ago
look, the guys obviously worth his salt, hes already explained in the text about turning the head!
may i also add.. if you do happen to miss with your lightning fast kick & you have your head cranked so far around so you can "see your target" your chin will be square on just begging for your opponent to switch your lights out! whereas kyryllo has some degree of protection form his shoulder!
im not from a tkd background, im jkd & it makes more sense the way kyryllo is executing this kick!!

I train in Krav Maga and Kali and wanted to tell you that I've really learned a great deal from your videos!
Breaking down the kicks the way you show has really accellerated my learning and I'm now throwing kicks I never thought "I" would be capable of. So thanks for the vids and all the best to you!

nice kick, but you sholud continuosly keep an eye on what you want to kick. It is easy to hit a steady point, but if it moves... it is a different story.
