Spinning Back Fist – Martial Arts Technique

This page provides details on the martial arts spinning back fist. This is a more advanced version of the traditional back fist strike. For information on other punches & strikes (i.e. jab and hammer fist), please visit Black Belt Wiki’s main Punches & Strikes section.

This is a deceptive technique because it can catch an opponent off guard (as the martial artist seems to be initially turning away from the opponent). Moreover, the spin of this technique adds extra momentum and thus it is very powerful striking technique.

Martial arts punches & strikes and all other martial arts techniques should only be practiced under the supervision of a trained martial arts instructor in order to prevent injuries and to ensure the proper technique is utilized.
