A Roundhouse Kick also called a Round Kick or turning Kick is performed by first raising the knee of the kicking leg so that the knee is aimed toward the target You then pivot on the balls of the non-kicking foot and turn the hip over slightly so that your body is turned sideways toward the target The leg is then straightened to kick so that the shin of the leg is moving in an arc that s parallel to the ground as you are kicking The rotation of the hip combined with the snapping of the leg forward gives the kick its power The striking surface is the instep or the ball of the foot This is also called an off the line or rear leg roundhouse kick
