It's sometimes called a "tornado" kick as well. Basically, its a jump spin 360 kick where you land on your kicking leg. This gives you an extra 1/2 spin (or 180), thus equaling 540 degrees in the spin.

My favorite is a plain vanilla #1 side kick. I love to stick it right into the middle of my opponent's attack and "feed 'em the foot". Ruins their whole day.

For the uninitiated, #1 side kick in the ATA is done with the lead leg, no steps involved. Just pick it up and kick.

And I think even just SEEING your feet would ruin some days, sir!

Yes, sir, I know.

Round Kick and hook kick, i just like to kick to the head and the round kick is fast and if you hit its also powerful.

Hook kick with an immediate round kick (Don't put the foot down) has been a staple in my repertoire for years.

That's an awesome sparring technique, especially if you keep the knee chambered and the only movement is from the knee onwards.

The Hooking kick causes a startle/flinch response and just as they lower their guard to counter the Turning Kick hits home.
