Fake High Kick → Rear Body Kick

What this combo trains

This combination trains deception, rhythm, and committing to a power kick the instant an opening appears. Showing the kick high pulls their arms up to meet it, then the real rear roundhouse swings into the ribs like a bat through the target. Reading the reaction to your fake and reacting immediately is the core skill here.

Step by step

1. 1.
   Fake High Kick

   Show the kick high, raising the leg or feinting the head kick so their arms come up to protect their head and the body opens.

2. 2.
   Rear Body Kick

   Swing the rear roundhouse into the ribs they just uncovered, throwing it like swinging a bat through the target with full hip commitment.

Common mistakes

• Selling the fake without conviction, so the arms never come up and there is no opening.
• Pausing too long between the fake and the real kick, letting their guard recover to the body.
• Aiming the body kick at the arm rather than through the exposed ribs.
• Overcommitting the fake and losing the balance needed to swing the real kick.

Who it suits

An intermediate feint for both stances, mirrored to yours by the app. It suits fighters who can sell a movement and then commit fully to the follow-up.

Why it works

Show the kick high so the arms come up to meet it, then swing the real one into the ribs they just uncovered.
