360 Round Kick

This kick is called 360 round kick, tornado kick, or whirl kick. For this kick, you would actually be turning 180 degrees (Including the rechambering of the leg after the kick). This technique will take you in to full circle after the move is completed (hence the name 360).

Switch your body position 180 degrees by turning clockwise while moving step forward. At the same time, pivot your supporting leg and rotate your head to view your target over your shoulder. Bring the rear leg around in a half a circle with a slight jump. Replace the front foot, either in the same position or slightly forward if you need to close the gap. The jump helps you launch the front foot in a round kick. Although jumping is mostly used for the round kicks, it can be incorporated into other kicks such as axe kick or pushing kicks.

This same kick can also be execute without a jump, essentially leaving your feet on the floor as you rotate your body. Note to always keep your knees flexed and quickly rechamber the kick. At this point you will have come full cicle (360 degrees).

Turning kick counter

Same strategy as a back kick counter, you can either kick the opponent before he can finish the kick or you can wait for them to finish then throw your counter attack. The preferred way would be to kick as soon as your see your opponent move to execute the turning kick.
