Two things I do not like about it

1 turning my back on the person

2 jumping in the air

looks sharp during KATAS

I haven't ever seen a jumping and turning kick in a traditional karate kata.

kempocos: Ryukyu Kempo? Dillman's or some true Ryukyuan style? Shigeru Nakamura's?

if it is the same kick i'm think of, sometimes called a tornado kick or cyclone kick as well, it can be made to work as an effective technique, but i doubt that i personally would ever use it in a "real" situation.

It adds to the artistic side of things, though.

I've been looking into this kick for awhile know, and for me, i have found that it works best when bouncing off an attacker's roundhouse kick. the timing has to be just right, but i can now land the kick on target about 80-90% of the time now.

Is it practical, though? probably not. There are a ton of techniquues i would choose to employ before this one, but it's fun to figure out the best application for you for all your techniques. it's also fun to make it work in a sparring situation.

Just be prepared to be hit/ knocked down halfway through the kick the first few times you try it...

I call it the Van Damme kick. I saw a guy try to use it at a bar when I was younger. Let's just say it didn't go well for him. He's probably still removing asphalt from his scalp.
