Spinning

How to spin

When spinning, spin upper body first, then the lower body. This chambers the body by storing energy in the twist so it may then be released into the kick. The head spins first, the the shoulders and arms, then the torso, then the hips, and lastly, the legs. The head move first since, where the head goes, the body will follow. Also, the you must see the target before releasing the attack. As the peripheral vision acquires and accesses the target, then the technique is released.

Keep the arms in tight as you spin so you may spin quicker. If the arms are extended the spin slows. Watch how figure skaters do their spins. Keep the body vertical, any lean will cause you to become unbalanced. The secret to spinning is to stay upright and keep arms and legs in tight until the last moment when they extend for the attack.
