When I miss a full roundhouse I tend to turn the momentum into a backfist or elbow.

I go either, 360 or 180, depends on the situation. I am comfortable working righty or southpaw so the position doesn't bother me. I'm happy to throw a spinning elbow if the followup is right, or catch them coming in with a sidekick to the belly. You need to be quick on your feet to pull it off, though, and have good awareness of your opponent.
Respectfully,
Sohan

| I generally find that it is easier for me to go the full 360, since the force of the kick carriers me about 270 anyway. I think the best advice anyone can give is do whatever feels natural. |

| The spin is usually rhe safest option. Make sure when you get back around to leg check and have your hands up. Whenever someone spins on me I try to have a right cross waiting on them when they get back around.. |

| I dunno... the back kick option may be the safest, as it allows you to have an attack ready for the incoming attacker instead of a passive block. |

If your opponent is smart, he closed the gap on your way around, back kick will only get you of balance and open for a right cross..

| that's why I don't spin when I kick any more. put the leg straight down - you see him closing the gap and he impales himself on the kick - the back kick comes off of the leg that did the roundhouse, not off of the supporting leg - there is no spin. |

You kill your power without the spin. Are you a fighter???

| No you won't. Watch manu ntoh kick, for example - he never spins, and I've seen him break an opponent's hip. I have broken an opponent's ribs. Our sister school in denmark (mikenta) does not teach the spin either. It's all in the mechanics. |
