The Scissor Kick (or Scissors Kick) is a dramatic martial arts kick used to hit two opponents at the same time. However, this kick it is not seen by most martial artists as overly practical in a self-defense situation. The scissor kick is mainly used for demonstration kicks, breaking techniques and in martial arts movies (i.e. for taking down two bad guys simultaneously). For information on other martial arts kicks (i.e. spinning hook kick), please visit Black Belt Wiki’s main kicking techniques page.
Martial arts kicks and all other martial arts techniques should only be practiced under the supervision of a trained martial arts instructor in order to prevent injuries and to ensure the proper technique is utilized. In addition, all martial arts techniques and training should be used safely and responsibly.
