The roundhouse kick is a turning kick and happens to be the most commonly used kick during competition (Lee, 1996).

As the buzzer bleeps the people are blasting from the wall. They treaded through the water just like sharks chasing their prey. The audience is staying still wondering who will win. Swimmer 3 is in the lead. Wow! Swimmer 5 just passed Swimmer 4 and all the way up to Swimmer 3. Swimmer 5 is just about to finish, but Swimmer 3 is on his tail.

take my spot in the spectator stands. I take a seat between Lily and James’s parents. I can hear the ding in the distance signalling the first match. The first match goes by quick, with a win by James. He wins by faking a round kick, then jumping up and doing a horse kick. The second match begins with a fight between Alex and Thomas.

“only two more board tests to go and you’re going to be a black belt”, I kept telling myself. I was almost done, I could taste it. As the instructor made his way towards me with five fresh boards, I was visualizing myself perform the perfect roundhouse kick to split the five boards in half. The instructor got in position holding the boards up as I gathered the last bit of energy I had left. “Black belt, black belt, black belt”, I kept repeating to myself when the required adrenaline I needed finally

The Game of Freedom and Dance - Capoeira What is Capoeira exactly? Is it just another overvalued Brazilian sport like fútbol, or could we recognize it as an incredible art to be admired for its ingenious upbringing and artistic form? I recently attended a roda, a circle of people in which Capoeira is performed, hosted at a Capoeira school in Atlanta.
