I think they're called that. Basically, you're on your back, you pump your legs all the way up over your hear, then push off with your hands as your feet..... I don't know how to explain it 
How do you do this?

Its half in the upper body and half in the leges, what you do is pull your legs up and pump your legs as high as you can

Pike your legs up so that your center of balance goes over your shoulders, then unpike hard and shoot your legs under you. Neat trick, hardly the best way to stand up quickly though IMO. I prefer role, queda de quatro, or even macaco, since those don't leave me ballistically committed with an openning the size of my torso and face flying directly into oncoming attack. Every time I see someone do one of those, I have an almost irresistable urge to pick my foot up for them to run face first into about a foot before they hit their balance point. Still, I guess it beats crawling your way to your feet clumsily.

i beg to differ with zaine its all in yuo legs if you practice every day you will get it. I have seen kung fu students that do this without hands and they learn from a young age but it shouldnt stop you trying

So really, the force is not in your hands, but your legs?

Well.. yeah, and your back. It's eventually properly done, as I recall, with your hands not touching the floor. The hands are described as a learning tool.

I usually hear it being referred to as a "kip up".
I think it's 70% core muscles and 30% skill, for me at least. I could never do them, probably because I was pretty tall and weighed too much, so I gave up. Then I picked up martial arts, started working out via weight training and calisthenics, then voila, a couple of months later I magically was able to do them.
