Execution
The main target is usually the head of the opponent, but the technique has also been used to target the leg of the opponent instead, often seen used by late K-1 World Grand Prix Champion Andy Hug '96, as stated by Hug's sparring partners, Xhavit Bajrami, Albania and Fredrik Hjelm, Sweden. Hug used this technique to such an extent that it was renamed by Japanese media and K-1 fans and was simply referred to as "the Hug Tornado".
The kick can also be used to target the side of the body of an opponent which wraps leg and the foot around the midsection of the opponent hitting him/her behind the ribs and the guard. In this case the heel often hits the lower part of the ribcage outside the liver area of the opponent.
