Scissor kick
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The phrase scissor kick has several meanings.
- Scissor kick (strike), a type of kick in martial arts and professional wrestling.
- In swimming, a scissor kick is a kicking stroke in which the legs are held straight out, knees unbent, and swung back and forth in opposite directions (out of phase). The scissor kick is thus distinguished from the flutter kick used in the front crawl, in which the knees are bent. The scissor kick is used in the sidestroke.
- See bicycle kick, a kick in some forms of football, notably association football (soccer) and Australian rules football, where the player kicks the ball toward the goal in the opposite direction to where they are facing by lifting their kicking foot to or above head height in the kicking action, often jumping off the ground in the process
