'''Drop kick''' is “sacrifice technique,” because it requires giving up your [[Stances|stance]] and fall to the floor. While we generally discourage doing something this, there are unusual circumstances (e.g., a surprise baseball bat swinging at your head) which require an emergency evasion with a built-in counterattack.

Drop kicks are essentially a simultaneous [[Jump side kick|jump side kick]] and [[Side breakfall|side breakfall]]. Directions on how to throw a left drop kick are given below; changing the directions for a right kick is an exercise left for the reader.
#'''Origin.''' Start in a left [[Fighting stance|fighting stance]] facing #1.
#'''Swing and spin.''' Twist your upper body to #6, and swing your hips in a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUT5rEU6pqM Shakira-like motion] towards your opponent at #2. , pulling your right leg up into a left [[Cat_stance|cat]]-like stance, except that your legs will be crossed, like you’re waiting in a line to use the toilet.
#'''Kick.''' Without pausing, immediately swing your fully-extended leg up and out, allowing momentum to carry your heel into your intended target at #1. Just as marksmen [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deflection_(ballistics) lead their targets], spinning karateka must trail their targets.
