===Flying===
{{Further|Flying kick}}
A flying kick, in martial arts, is a general description of kicks that involve a running start, jump, then a kick in mid-air.<ref>{{cite book | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=uv-ZDQtEnDUC&dq=flying+kick&pg=PA87 | isbn=9780897501293 | title=Advanced Dynamic Kicks | year=1986 | publisher=Black Belt Communications | access-date=2023-03-19 | archive-date=2023-04-25 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230425162118/https://books.google.com/books?id=uv-ZDQtEnDUC&dq=flying+kick&pg=PA87 | url-status=live }}</ref> Compared to a regular kick, the user is able to achieve greater momentum from the run at the start. Flying kicks are not to be mistaken for jumping kicks, which are similar maneuvers. A jumping kick is very similar to a flying kick, except that it lacks the running start and the user simply jumps and kicks from a stationary position.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=6toDAAAAMBAJ&dq=flying+kick&pg=PA56|title=Black Belt|date=October 17, 1988|publisher=Active Interest Media, Inc.|via=Google Books|access-date=December 22, 2022|archive-date=May 13, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230513045733/https://books.google.com/books?id=6toDAAAAMBAJ&dq=flying+kick&pg=PA56|url-status=live}}</ref> Flying kicks are often derived from the basic kicks.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=zdsDAAAAMBAJ&dq=flying+kick&pg=PA44|title=Black Belt|date=October 17, 1986|publisher=Active Interest Media, Inc.|via=Google Books|access-date=December 22, 2022|archive-date=April 25, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230425162116/https://books.google.com/books?id=zdsDAAAAMBAJ&dq=flying+kick&pg=PA44|url-status=live}}</ref> Some of the more commonly known flying kicks are the: flying side kick, flying back kick and the flying [[roundhouse kick]], as well as the flying [[reverse roundhouse kick]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=stcDAAAAMBAJ&dq=flying+kick&pg=PA26|title=Black Belt|date=February 17, 1991|publisher=Active Interest Media, Inc.|via=Google Books|access-date=December 22, 2022|archive-date=May 13, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230513045732/https://books.google.com/books?id=stcDAAAAMBAJ&dq=flying+kick&pg=PA26|url-status=live}}</ref> [[Flying kicks]] are commonly practiced in [[Taekwondo]], [[Karate]], [[Chinese martial arts|Wushu]] and Muay Thai for fitness, exhibitions and competition.
