A spin behind is a fast movement to the back. You spin around your opponent while they are low or extended. This often follows a snap down or failed shot. Your feet move quickly in a circle. At the same time, you keep pressure on their upper body. Control must be established from behind. Timing is critical during the spin. For example, a wrestler snaps the head down. He spins behind before the opponent recovers. The referee signals a takedown. Spin behinds rely on speed and angles. Quick reactions create scoring opportunities.
