===Reverse roundhouse/wheel=== [[Image:Triple Reverse Turning Kick Combo Samuel Lee.gif|thumb|200px|Low, middle and high reverse roundhouse kicks performed in succession|alt=|left]] In Japanese, {{Nihongo|ushiro mawashi geri|εΎγεγθΉ΄γ}}; in Korean, {{Transliteration|ko|bandae dollyo chagi}} ({{lang|ko|λ°λ λλ € μ°¨κΈ°}}), {{Transliteration|ko|dwit hu ryo chagi}}, {{Transliteration|ko|nakkio mom dollyo chagi}} or {{Transliteration|ko|parryo chagi}}. This kick is also known as a "heel kick", "turning kick", "reverse round kick", "spinning hook kick", "spin kick", or "wheel kick".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2013/11/11/5081204/ufn-31-rustam-khabilov-jorge-masvidal-spinning-kick-gif-ko-mma-technique-judo-chop |title=UFN 31 Judo Chop: Rustam Khabilov's Spinning Hook Kick |work=Bloody Elbow |date=11 November 2013 |access-date=2014-01-17 |archive-date=2014-01-22 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140122082954/http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2013/11/11/5081204/ufn-31-rustam-khabilov-jorge-masvidal-spinning-kick-gif-ko-mma-technique-judo-chop |url-status=live }}</ref> A low reverse roundhouse is also known as a "sweep kick" or "sitting spin kick", however, in some martial arts circles, when aimed at a downward angle to the anterior side of the knee it is commonly referred to as a "shark kick" due to its tendency to tear the anterior cruciate ligament. A reverse roundhouse kick traditionally uses the protruding point on the backside of the heel to strike with, the kicking leg coming from around the kicker's back as they pivot and the knee remaining relatively straight on the follow through, unlike the leg position in a reverse hooking kick, despite the spinning motion and the part of the heel being roughly the same. Variations exist for low, middle and high heights. Spinning and leaping variations of the kick are also popular and are often showcased in film and television media. At [[UFC 142]], [[Edson Barboza]] knocked out [[Terry Etim]] using a wheel kick in the third round of their fight, the first such in the [[Ultimate Fighting Championship]]. A similarly named but technically different kick, is the [[roundhouse kick]] performed by turning as if for a back straight kick and executing a roundhouse kick. It is known as a "reverse roundhouse kick" because the kicker turns in the opposite, or "reverse", direction before the kick is executed. This kick strikes with the ball of the foot for power or the top of the foot for range. This was exhibited by [[Bruce Lee]] on numerous occasions in his films ''[[Enter the Dragon]]'', ''[[Fist of Fury]]'' and ''[[The Big Boss]]''. [[Bill Wallace (martial artist)|Bill Wallace]] was also a great user of this kick, as seen in his fight with Bill Briggs, where he knocked his opponent out with the clocked 60 mph kick.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2020-05-06|title=FightBack Live with Bill Wallace|url=https://blackbeltmag.com/bill-wallace|access-date=2021-08-28|website=Black Belt Magazine|language=en|archive-date=2021-08-28|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210828165740/https://blackbeltmag.com/bill-wallace|url-status=live}}</ref> The jump spin hook kick was popularized in the mid-eighties by Steven Ho in open martial art competitions. In Olympic format (sport) taekwondo, this technique is performed using the balls of the feet and in a manner similar to a [[back kick|back thrust]], rather than the circular technique adopted in other styles of martial arts.[[Image:Flying back kick Samuel Lee.gif|thumb|Flying back kick. ''The running-up part of the flying kick sequence is cut off in this animation, so only the jumping component of the kick is seen''.]]
