360 Crescent Kick

360 Crescent Kick

The 360 Crescent is a martial arts kick that received its name from the motion of the kick itself. It is also sometimes called, 360 kick, or Jump spin kick. The practitioner jumps into the air and executes a 360 degree turn while keeping his or her body perpendicular to the ground. As soon as the kicker leaves the ground the kicking leg should be extended as straight and high as possible. The kicking leg is normally the same side as the direction that the practitioner is spinning. For example, it will be the right leg if the practitioner is spinning to the right or the left leg if the practitioner is spinning to the left.

Famous quotes containing the words crescent and/or kick:

    On me your voice falls as they say love should,
    Like an enormous yes. My Crescent City
    Is where your speech alone is understood.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    I had to kick their law into their teeth in order to save them.
    However I have heard that sometimes you have to deal
    Devilishly with drowning men in order to swim them to shore.
    Or they will haul themselves and you to the trash and the fish beneath.
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
