Au-Batido
Abbreviation: AB
Alias: Batido
Description: A side stretch kick executed from a handstand position.
A trick where a person kicks back one leg while putting the opposite corresponding hand on the ground. As you become inverted, you place your other hand on the ground and remove your initial base hand, kicking the leg you pushed off the ground with towards your ear. This all must be done while maintaining the handstand.
The Au-Batido is mostly characterized be the position of the perfomer when the kick makes contact, which somewhat looks like a frozen one-handed cartwheel. Due to this, there can be many ways to perform this trick.
History: Known as a "K-Kick" or "L-Kick" in Breakdancing, the Au-Batido comes from the Brazilian martial art known as Capoeira.
