In performing a butterfly kick in your system, do you use it as two strikes, or as one? Also what part of your foot/feet do you use for the striking point?

Yes, do tell, since I taught myself how to do this.

I do it as one strike, with the back foot, so far, but I'm certain I could be gravely mistaken as to the proper application.

I do it two ways, as a round kick, and as a crescent kick. You can get two attacks out of each, depending on how fast you are, and how high you can jump.

If you do the crescents, you can bring the back leg around and do an outer crescent kick with it, and then follow with the inner crescent with the actual kicking foot (front originally).

If you do the round kick, the first kick is easier to do as a twist kick or outer crescent.

In TKD, I know it as the jump 360 degree inner crescent kick or round kick.

ah k,

so when kicking with the right leg you will be spinning anti clockwise?

does anyone else call the other one a tornado kick?

with a chinese tornado kick, you land on the same foot you kicked with. Takes lots of hard work to get it that way. people who can't do it that way usually land with the opposite leg, and yeah, it can look like a butterfly kick.
