I agree in some terms Dougie but I have always thought of it as a technique thrown by someone who is panicked enough to have turned their back on their oppponent in the first instance. Having said that I have recently been winess to some who throws it in a more educated sense and mixing this with turning side kicks and spinning hook kicks, it results in a more confused opponent who is not quite to sute what to expect, from the aggresser, so in fact the skill level of the assailent is greater because of it's use. So that puts me in the position of devils advocate. Then of course their is the dilema of "if" it is recognised as a legal technique in FC, do we then teach to younger fighters it who will invariable use it in light con. Yes I am aware of the danger to the technique to both the fighter recieving it and the person throwing it, but an argument could also be said for spinning hook kick. In full contact you look to score the heel, in light con you enthuse the use of the bottom of the upper part of the foot with control. Surely then the SBF with a straight arm is for FC and with a chambered strike for L/C only striagening the arm at the very last moment again with control. See the dilema.
IN or OUT?
