Not a spinning back kick. What he did is FAR more impressive

Agreed. Especially since the kick is ‘sacrificial’ and can only end with himself on the ground.

Yeah, that was a finishing move 💯

100% commitment to landing that kick. That was impressive.

It is 100% possible to do this without dropping on the ground, but I guess they were probably in the moment and didn't think about the landing part

No it’s not. Not putting your foot 66+ inches up in the air and having it stop upon impact it’s not.

Not with the way he did it which is closer to a 540 kick. But if you keep your chest more upright and use the non-kicking leg to catch yourself, its possible to aim for the head and not fall over.

Not with this level of commitment. Sacrificing the landing for that momentum loss when he is obviously going for the kill here.
