Why would you ever want to spin away from someone unless:
you had control of one of their limbs and wanted to break it, rip it off and beat them round the head with it, or take them down…
you had had some kind of application of force to one side of your body in a dynamic interaction such as one of those No-Know describes…
?
And if you’re going to spin away from soemone for these reasons, why is a crescent kick more efficient than anything else?
Please note, question, not flame. Also, if you’re going to answer please do not just give it anything ending with ‘… then you’re not doing it right…’! I don’t usually do them anyway!
Have to get him? Perhaps other. There is that he would shoot you by accident or for the pleasure, or reaction. But there is also that he will leave if unchallenged too much.
Perhaps you can Get him by doing what is asked and wait him out.
I you get him psychologically or physically please be aware of the open part of the gun. If your technique is flawed even slightly, keep the open end from facing Anyone. because the gun’s execution is likely without flaw, repeatable and unpredictable in a struggle. Even after release. When it hits something as it falls. Direction is no longer within your control. and Everyone come into Russian roulette-like risk.
Mat, I think you misunderstood. I mean if your opponent starts circling you while you are standing in the same spot a crescent kick is a vey efficient way of hitting them. Now, if you know they are not going to attack until they get around to your front again, I would reccomend a reverse hook kick or a good old fashioned turning kick. But, if you don’t know whether or not they’re going to attack and want to do something while they are moving, a crescent kick is your best bet. I say this because of how fast this kick can be executed and because of how much you can spin by placement of the standing foot.
If you are reffering to the second instance, the bent leg crescent kick. It is best executed if you have hold of them(self defense) but it is not neccesary and completely illegal in sparring. It is executed without very much spin, just enough so that you can get the leg around behind the back and hit the head, instead of diminishing power by accidentaly hitting the back on the way to the head.
