Jump Back Kick

The jump back kick is the same as the back kick, except the kick is initiated from the stationary position without the placing of the pivot foot. The jump back kick is used about 70 percent of the time in sparring in either attack or counterattack. The jump back kick is a high-scoring kick.

The jump back kick is executed in as you jump and must be performed extremely quick if it is to be effective. The turning of the torso telegraphs your intentions. The opponent shouldn't have time to react or you will find that you are an open target.
