For instance, it will take a lot of work unless they trained in a martial art like Muay Thai or Taekwondo when they were young.

10. Dennis Siver

This name might surprise you, but when it comes to kickboxing, Dennis Siver has a lot of pedigree. While he’s best remembered for handing Conor McGregor an easy paycheck in Boston, Siver possessed one of the best spinning back kicks in the game.

The German-Russian citizen is a former WAKO amateur kickboxing world champion. Those spinning back kicks are like cannons, smashing into his opponent’s midsection and immediately putting them down. You don’t want to get hit with one.
