Lotus kick
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The lotus kick is also known as jump outside, outside spinkick, or Teng kong bai lian. This is a very popular jump in Wushu kung fu martial arts. The kick begins by launching off from the right leg into a 360° clockwise rotation that includes an outward snapkick in the air. The performer may land on the right leg or both legs. The kick may be performed from both a running or standing take-off. Advanced practitioners may increase the difficulty of the move by rotating greater than 360°, usually 540° or 720°.
Note: The lotus kick is completely a different move than the foot sweep kick.
