Would you try a spinning hook kick or a jump spinning hook kick in a real life street fight?

If you're a dan grade who knows what he's doing then go for it.

Generally speaking, these techniques aren't really suitable for street scenarios.

FYI A Spinning heel kick IS NOT THE SAME AS A SPINNING HOOK KICK!

Yes they are OK kicks. And NO they are not the most destructive or powerful kicks.

FYI I can tell YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO KICK. MANLY KICKING A SPINNING KICK.

IF i did use any spin kick it would be LOW to the ankle or knee. Never kick above the waist in the streets.

As I stated you obviously do not know how to throw a spin kick. This is where a actual instructor is needed.

If you knew how than you would not ask. And i am not going into he sequence on the kick. The first part of the kick is not turning the body but your head. So if you think you turn your back on opponent YOUR WRONG.

I suggest taking a martial art class and leara to kick. other wise you are an idiot.

Chuck Norris once said he would not use "flying" or big spinning kicks in a real-world fight because "too many things can go wrong when you leave your feet."

Think about it this way:  What if you miss?  What if you're blocked? What is your 'follow up' plan and would you be in proper position to execute it?  What is the probability of you ending up on the ground, where all rules and technique go out the window?

I know Thai boxing trainers that say they would only use legs and knees for quick strikes once already in "hands" distance, usually as follow-up to some kind of hand technique to "keep the opponent's hands busy."

If you’re good at these kicks AND you know how to effectively set them up, you can use them if the opportunity is there. Every technique has some level of risk to reward ratio but that ratio changes if you know how to time the technique.
