In my twenties my ex girl did it to me when she caught me slangin dick. I countered with the front kick to face when I caught her slipping with my friend. Good old toxic relationship. I miss u boo.

Explain what the fuck you're talking about

I am picturing a spinning closed fist slap, but with the arm relatively locked at the elbow to differentiate it from a hook or overhand.


Dominc Cruz had some exceptionally ugly punches that flailed in a trajectory similar to a closed fist slap but I don't recall him ever executing a spinning one.

Way way back around 30-35 years ago, I remember being taught something called a "ridge hand strike" which was quite similar to a "front fist" but with the thumb down so you struck with the meaty part of the thumb/pointer. Like a backwards karate chop.

I remember thinking "man this is some bullshit and probably a good way to break your hand"

Dammit.

I'm too slow.

Someone should also try attacking with all 4 limbs at once. They can't block em all!

But are we talking about a 360 spin here? And is it turning away from the opponent to start, like a regular spinning back fist, or towards them?

I'm familiar with ridge hand for either wood breaking or maybe to the throat in some self defense situations. Depending on what you hit, I think it can be just asking for trouble with that thumb

I think I saw something like that as a secret move in UFC Throwdown back in the day. Shonie Carter could do it, and one of the secret characters, like BJM or Dana

This backfist never fails to make me smile:

Pimp hand strong
