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.

Famous quotes containing the word execution:
“Union of Religious Sentiments begets a surprising confidence and Ecclesiastical Establishments tend to great ignorance and corruption, all of which facilitate the Execution of Mischievous Projects.”
—James Madison (1751–1836)
“Some hours seem not to be occasion for any deed, but for resolves to draw breath in. We do not directly go about the execution of the purpose that thrills us, but shut our doors behind us and ramble with prepared mind, as if the half were already done. Our resolution is taking root or hold on the earth then, as seeds first send a shoot downward which is fed by their own albumen, ere they send one upward to the light.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I herewith commission you to carry out all preparations with regard to ... a total solution of the Jewish question in those territories of Europe which are under German influence.... I furthermore charge you to submit to me as soon as possible a draft showing the ... measures already taken for the execution of the intended final solution of the Jewish question.”
—Hermann Goering (1893–1946)
