Перевод: Spin-forward back kick
The Spin-Forward Back Kick is a back kick preceded by a forward-moving spin, simultaneously closing distance and generating rotational power. [1] Unlike a standard spinning back kick which maintains position, this variant covers ground forward during the spin, making it an effective attacking technique against retreating opponents. [1]
Offers specific tactical advantages over the standard back kick in appropriate situations. [1]

Requires solid back kick foundation
Good balance and coordination
Documented in De Bremaeker & Faige, Section 4.8. The attacker spins forward (opposite to the standard spin-back) before delivering the back kick. Less common than spin-back but creates a different timing and angle. (De Bremaeker & Faige, Essential Book of Martial Arts Kicks, 2010)
According to Ando Mierzwa, the most common mistake is spotting your target with both eyes instead of one. When you turn your head fully to look at the target with both eyes, your feet naturally follow the rotation of your head, converting the back kick into a side kick. Spot with just one eye to keep your feet and shoulders properly aligned.
Ando Mierzwa recommends thinking of it as a turnaround technique rather than a spinning technique. If you turn just enough so your shoulders square toward the target with one eye visible, you get a back kick; if you keep turning further and can see with both eyes, it becomes a side kick. The key is controlling how much you turn, not spinning in a full circle.
Ando Mierzwa warns that spinning too far will cause your kick to go off-line with your target and your foot will fly into space, throwing you off balance. The solution is to stop the rotation early—only turn as much as needed to execute the kick properly.
Yes, according to Ando Mierzwa, you can throw a devastating spinning back kick without looking. However, he recommends keeping your hands up and your eyes on the target—even if it's just the corner of one eye—using the formula: turn, peak, kick.
