The following is an excerpt taken from Tashida Kom’s guide, Self-Defense Tactics 101.
Jumping Roundhouse Kick
The jumping roundhouse—also known as a jumping turning kick—is a more advanced variation of the traditional roundhouse kick and is primarily used to target an opponent’s head.
To execute this attack, the practitioner leaps into the air with both legs, utilizing the forward non-kicking leg for momentum, rotating their hips, and delivering a swift roundhouse with the rear leg.
Be aware that this is considered a very high-risk/high-reward technique. Having both feet off the ground can leave the user vulnerable to a retaliatory strike. While low and middle body kicks are a safer bet and more difficult to block, a perfectly executed jumping roundhouse has the potential to inflict massive damage and can deliver a ‘knockout’ blow.
