The Deadliest Weapon

Backthrust or back kick is the most destructive since the movement of the stance make the opponent open to this kind of attack. Let say both are in the close stance,
which make both fighters roundhouse kicks target to the close areas (back). However, when back kick takes effect it will hit the opponent right in the open (front).

Normally, this technique is used as a counter attack measure and rarely use for an attack. Let's look on how we can use this technique as an attacking tool. First, you may use the front leg to trick the opponent. Then bring down your front leg to the ground and launch the back kick. Caution when using this technique, since it will drain lots of your energy unless you are really tip top with your stamina.

Another word of caution is accuracy of this attack. If the back kick is direct hit on target, the opponent will drop half dead and will demoralise the opponent fighting spirit. It will make the opponent think twice towards attacking you. So this is the time when you setup the trap as describe in the previous posting under the title "Does having speed and skill enough to win a sparring?"
