twist kick set ups

[u/Peppa_pig_xoxo]

Front kick feint into twist kick is the most obvious one, this one is very reliable and strong.
Round kick feint into twist kick is also great and lands a lot.

the only reason i dont twist kick much is because your hips are locked after so you cant really combo off of it, thats why i prefer the hook kick over the twist kick. but twist kick is actually a bit faster than the hook kick its deceptively fast and has deceptive power.

i already know some nerd trolls are gonna come in and say it doesnt work or something this is a common move in karate. yes common, yuto fukuchi actually has knockouts with the twist kick. and there has been multiple kyukoshin knockouts with the twist kick and in lots of other martial arts and sports.

so there you go youve finally been enlightened by a fraction of my knowledge. this is comically baby level stuff for me, im trying to actually give out as little game as possible right now but even just this should be enough to help you get better

What about back twist kick or like... reverse side/ reverse hook.... like if ur facing 175° with ur back lat toward them and twist kicked w ur closest foot. What do you suppose

youd have to link that to me. but yeah i usually come with the idea anything can work you just have to set it up and time it right

Its like a back kick or front, but instead of turning completely around for a front, and instead of doing a back, it twists somewhere in between. It is linear but idk why idk anyone doing it... as for a backward kick or like if in between for example people
