Flashkick


A flashkick is a type of back flip that is performed in the martial art of tricking, usually performed with one leg extended and the other tucked. As with many other types of back flips, a flashkick may be started from a stationary standing position or immediately following another similar move, such as a roundoff.

Variations

The term Flash Kick originated from a move performed by Guile and Charlie Nash from the Street Fighter video game series, in which a flash of light accompanied the move. In this case, the game character executed a flashkick so as to kick his opponent in the game.
