AOKK Advanced Kicking Technique: Spinning Wheel Kick [Front Stance]

This kick is executed from a fighting stance. Quickly twist the shoulders to create the spinning motion. The lead leg will be the pivot point for this kick. Extend the kicking leg and lock the knee. The striking part of this kick is the heel. At the last minute pull the heel forward bending the knee driving it into the targeted area.

This is an affective technique. Targets are normally the opponent’s spine and kidneys. If the opponent rushes forward to counter the spin, the heel still drives into the opponent’s kidneys. This kick can also target an opponent’s head [Temple] and will knock the opponent down if struck properly. Lastly, this kick can be thrown low to take an opponent’s legs out from under him/her.
