A distinct type of kicking strike which is physically distinguishable by striking in a circular Path of Travel - which makes contact prior to, or on, the apex of its circular trajectory, on a non-vertical axis of rotation.

Comments:

This kick does not specify a specific contact point of the foot, rather it refers to its circular path and where on its trajectory it makes contact in relation to the apex of the circle.

By definition, this kick uses a roundhousing Method of Execution.

The vertical version of this kick is referred to as a scoop kick.

From one perspective, this kick is the lower body equivalent to the roundhouse punch.
