The motion is exactly spinning on a barstool, and your head and chest move just enough for the opponent’s technique to miss.

+Twisting is more an [[Intermediate|intermediate]] technique, because timing is critical. If you twist too early, the opponent can adjust their technique mid-flight and  hit you. If you twist too late, you won’t complete the twist in time to evade.

-'''Twisting''' is the simple way of avoiding a linear technique, in a way which often coaxes the opponent to over-extend themselves.  Since straight [[Punches|punches]] and [[Kicks|kicks]] have a small cross-sectional area, they only require a small body displacement (~4” or ~10 cm) to avoid. Additionally the twist’s hip rotation can augment the power of your [[Blocks|blocks]] (especially [[Ude uke|ude uke]]) or counterattacks (especially [[Uppercut|uppercuts]], and [[Elbow break|elbow breaks]]).
