Hook to Side Kick | Fake Side Kick to Backfist Combo

From 10th Planet Colorado Springs

October 9, 2026

Coach breaks down a striking combination built around the side kick and the reaction it creates.

The sequence starts with a hook into the side kick, then progresses into using the same motion as a fake to open up the back hand / backfist attack.

Covered in this video:

• Hook mechanics
• Hook to side kick
• Side kick setup
• Using the side kick to create a reaction
• Faking the side kick
• Back hand / backfist follow-up
• Changing levels and angles
• Building combinations off opponent reactions

The goal is to make the fake look like the real attack, then punish the reaction.

It's a mess, I know.

My goal is to build the most comprehensive BJJ encyclopedia anywhere — but good, accurate data is genuinely hard to come by. Records, gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.

That's where you come in. If you spot something off, tell me and I'll fix it — every correction makes this better for everyone. This website wouldn't be possible without the community.
