Flying scorpion kick, isnt that the move some goalkeeper used once to stop a goal. He did a forwards flip and as his legs reached the peak, he deflected the ball.

So this must be a move develeped for some sort of martial art part karate, part football.

Maybe???

[quartermaster]

what would you call that, F A Chuan

[Shou Tu]

Scorpion kick? what application would it be used in?

[Shortfuse]

thats the first time i heard it

[Aravi]

vid of this 'Scorpion kick'?

Were there even scorpions in Ancient China?

[Andy Murray]

Hmm, I'm thinking Cynthia Rothrock has a lot to answer for here! ;)

[Shou Tu]

oh andy i remember her, attacker has her in the reverse head lock and she kicks him with the flat of her foot over her back.

That was flexible. Sounds like the kick he would be talking about.

[Disciple]

Aravi, yes.

The shaolin have a scorpian animal form. In demos they scurry across the floor on 3s and have on leg cocked up like a scorp tail.

it's a thing where you lean over and kick over your head.
you have to have supernatural flexibility(which i don't).

[God]

so there's an actual application?

[Anonymouse]

Yep, movies and soccer :P

Isn't that like the one in Lethal Weapon 4 where Jet Li grabs one of them and throws his leg over his back and kicks Gibson (i think) in the face, sound like it could be...dunno about a flying one though.
