Tornado kick



The 540 kick, also known as inside turning kick, jump inside kick, tornado kick and Xuanfengjiao (旋風腳), is a martial arts move present in various disciplines including Taekwondo, Wushu  kung fu,  Shaolinquan , Capoeira , but traditionally most associated with the Korean martial arts. This technique is so named because, at completion, the performer has performed a rotation of approximately 540 degrees (although usually, when performed correctly, the performer has really only done a spin of 360 degrees not including whatever takeoff they used). However, the most prominent defining feature is that the same leg is used for taking off, kicking, and landing. The other leg mainly helps get the performer into the air, and then the leg is pulled back before the landing. Many martial arts tricksters  choose this move as their first move to attempt.
