#5 Scorpion Kick

There’s no other way to put it, the scorpion kick was invented for the flashing cameras. Jaipur’s, Jasvir Singh, who attempts it the most, may beg to differ but the fact remains that the scorpion kick is rarely executed successfully. Even an effort invokes a thunderous applause from the crowd.

Raising his stronger foot, the raider initially looks like he’s about to touch the defender to his right. But he doesn’t. Within a split second, he catches the defender behind him off guard and kicks him, usually on his head or shoulder.

The process and execution of the scorpion kick, reeks of confidence and conviction. A high risk move which can leave a raider hanging, literally, if the defenders manage to get hold of his leg.
