Caden Cunningham's perfect spinning counter | Professional
#taekwondo analysis 033
How did Caden Cunningham set up this spinning counter against Cheick Salah Cissé?
Cissé's narrow stance and weight distribution limited the strikes he could effectively throw from that position. Caden recognized this, waited for Cissé to lift his lead leg, and immediately used a sharp hop-switch into a spinning counter.
But the setup wasn't the only important part. Caden's momentum, positioning, and lean helped him avoid overextending—and Cissé later tried to use the same logic against Caden.
A small exchange, but a lot of thought behind it.
