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:
“My weakness has always been to prefer the large intention of an unskilful artist to the trivial intention of an accomplished one: in other words, I am more interested in the high ideas of a feeble executant than in the high execution of a feeble thinker.”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
“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)
“I am gradually drifting to the opinion that this Rebellion can only be crushed finally by either the execution of all the traitors or the abolition of slavery. Crushed, I mean, so as to remove all danger of its breaking out again in the future.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
