    thats the horse back kick, and not a spinning back side kick. this one u see in cma and in okinawa systems.
    All right now, son, I want you to get a good night's rest. And remember, I could murder you while you sleep.
    Hey son, I bought you a puppy today after work. But then I killed it and ate it! Hahah, I´m just kidding. I would never buy you a puppy.

    that i sthe way I was taught to throw a spin back kick-fu mei gerk. Koreans are more known for the turn around side kick, but most CMA do it as a back kick, as well as in Tang Soo Do. But if you wanna call it a horse kick, I'm sure the horse won't mind.

    We have a back kick as well as a spin side.

    As usual, instead of explaining the difference, he poo poos one kick for another.

    For one, his explanation of a spin side is done wrong and is too close.

    yes. about his overhand punch, the only thing I thought of was that it looked more like a non trained person would generate his power, haymayker style.

    Evidently, Chuck doesn't seem to use Hop Ga well enough...

    lol, did he lose again?...just how he does his hook punch...how the elbow kinda hangs there before/as you swing I learned a drill with that where you hammer the groin say with your left then do right and left hooks to the gut then come up with double overhead (left backfist-right overhead to right side face) when I saw Kaido's form I'm like hey that looks like boxing with a crane bow stance...then I see Lidells kenpo fists orwhatever the foq...I'm like cool
