Martial arts move question

[WhiteKnight]

What do you call it when you roll straight back onto your back then kinda push with your hands and flip up onto your feet? You know, the move you always see it martial arts movies and stuff.

 

[MAME]

"Quick Recovery"

 

[BooGiMaN]

oh.....the old rolluntoyourbackandpushyouhandandflipuntoyourfeettrick move

 

[Savarak]

i've always heard it as "kippup" or something similar

 

[bradruth]

Kip up.

 

[MaxDSP]

I call it the "badass" move

 

[virtuamike]

I used to be able to do that without hands. Then I got fat

 

[Schadenfreude]

That's a martial arts move? What's next? Aerial Flips? Oh wait, that's considered am "MA move" . . ..

 

[StatisticianOG]

I always cringe when I hear martial arts punches, kicks, techniques, etc., referred to as "moves".

 

[Jgtdragon]

Its called "pop-up kick". Someone correct me if I am wrong.

 

[JoeKing]

chinese pickup

 

[Babbles]

I thought it was the break_your_wrist_because_you_do_not_know_what_you_are_doing move.

 

[DrPizza]

kip, as answered far above, is correct.

Seriously, though, you could be referring to what Japanese arts refer to as ukemi, which roughly translates to recieving body. Basically that is the technique of do forward rolls, back rolls, foot falls, etcetra which you do to 'recieve' a technique from another person. At more advanced levels, you really do not have to use your hands to perform the moves, well you could, well honestly it is hard for me to explain. Just google up ukemi.

What you are actually seeing in movies, though, is probably just some kung fu highly stylized just for show type technique.

Ok. I was wrong. Did a research on google and it called kip up.

 

[Schadenfreude]

*waiting for someone to flip out and totally cut off some heads . . ..

this is generally associated with grappling martial arts such as judo. the "uke" is a person who is thrown, flipped, etc, and are used when practicing or for demonstration.
