Tricking
Tricking is the informal name of a type of physical activity derived from the martial arts that includes techniques found in gymnastics, B-boying, and similar disciplines. Examples of incorporated techniques include the 540 kick from Taekwondo, the butterfly twist from Wushu, and the double leg...

. Because it is not as advanced as other tricks, it is considered by some to be a basic trick. There are two main variations, one is done more like a 360 Crescent kick
360 Crescent kick
The 360 Crescent is a martial arts kick that received its name from the motion of the kick itself. It is also sometimes called, 360 kick, or Jump spin kick. The practitioner jumps into the air and executes a 360 degree turn while keeping his or her body perpendicular to the ground...

 and the other is done more like a crescent 540.

Variants

  • The first variant could be called a 360 double, in that the set up and take off are identical to a regular 360 crescent. Once the first kick is thrown, the other leg will kick out as the hips continue to rotate around. The second kick can either be thrown as a crescent kick or as a thrust kick

The leg that kicks first is also the leg that lands first. This trick is normally done with a 180° turn while on the ground to build up momentum, and then the practitioner will spin an additional 180° while executing the kicks. While this is more fluid and somewhat easier to execute than the first, it can limit the maximum height of the trick.
