Similar to the butterfly kick, the butterfly twist kick does open up your opponent. If you’re quick, you might use these openings to attack your opponent. Similar to the other moves mentioned above, countering a butterfly twist kick can be done in an attacking or a defensive manner.
An attacking manner would require you to launch a kick of your own whereas a defensive counter will require you to step back, step-aside or duck underneath.
As mentioned in the fancy kicks above, skipping kicks is the best bet to catch the opponent mid-air. You can use a skipping roundhouse kick, a skipping side kick, a skipping axe kick or a spinning hook kick to leave your opponent stranded. The countering elements are the same and thus, you can refer to the counters in the butterfly kicks as those can be used here too.
