A flying kick is a type of kick in certain martial arts and in martial-arts based gymnastics, with the particularity that the kick is delivered while in the air, specifically moving ("flying") into the opponent after a running start to gain forward momentum.〔 "during a flying kick the objective is to cover distance horizontally and not simply to jump straight up and down." Yeon Hee Park, Yeon Hwan Park, Jon Gerrard, ''Tae kwon do: the ultimate reference guide to the world's most popular martial art'', 2009, ISBN 978-0-8160-7399-3. 〕 In this sense a "flying kick" is a special case of a jump kick, any kick delivered in mid-air, i.e. with neither foot touching the ground. Flying and jump kicks are taught in certain Asian martial arts, such as karate,〔Hidetaka Nishiyama, Richard C. Brown, ''Karate: the art of "empty hand" fighting'', 1990, ISBN 978-0-8048-1668-7, (p. 133 )〕 kenpo, kalarippayattu, kung fu and taekwondo. ==History== High kicks in general, as well as jump kicks, were foreign to Southern styles, and their presence in Wing Chun as well as Japanese and Korean martial arts is probably due to the influence of a Northern style. Historically, the development and diffusion of flying kick techniques in Asian martial arts seems to have taken place during the 1930s to 1950s. During this time, Chinese martial arts took an influence on traditional Okinawan martial arts, from the late 1940s specifically Shorinji Kempo. Okinawan martial arts in turn developed into karate and ultimately also taekwondo.〔William Durbin ''Mastering Kempo'', 2001 ISBN 978-0-7360-0350-6 (p. 11 ).〕 Taekwondo's special emphasis on spinning, jumping and flying kicks is a development of the 1960s.〔Frank Thiboutot, ''Cardio Kickboxing Elite: For Sport, for Fitness, for Self-Defense'', 2001, ISBN 978-1-886969-92-6 (p. 202 ).〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「flying kick」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
