Highkick: 하늘발차기 Skykick aka 옆차기 Yupchagi
#Highkick is one of the most impressive posture in #martialarts.
This element can be often seen in #taekwondo #태권도 , where it is called #하늘발차기 [#haneulbalchagi] what means #skykick and belongs to #strike type #옆차기 [#yupchagi] and literally means #sidekick.
Also there is a variation known as #Roundhousekick #돌려차기. This kick variation executed from another type of stances and similar to #mawashigeri #回し蹴り in Karate, what can be translated as #spinkick, although it is also sometimes referred to as a roundhouse kick.
In Chinese #wushu #武术 and #kungfu #功夫 such kicks called #侧踹腿 (pronance: cèchuàituǐ , literaly: sidekick). However, the element looks the same, but it have differences - the way of hand posture and execution move to final strike. Also, Traditional Chinese techniques focuses on balance, grace and movement manner, instead of using classical handsblock protection.
