Kip-up

Kip-up (鯉魚打挺 Liyudating) is one of several names for an acrobatic move in which a person transitions from a supine, and less commonly, a prone position, directly to a squatting position by propelling the legs, and consequently the entire body, away from the floor. The move often incorporates the use of the arms and shoulders. It is used in activities such as martial arts, acro dance, breakdancing, professional wrestling, gymnastics and Parkour & Freerunning. Because of the flashy appearance of this move, it is often shown in fighting and action movies. The kip-up is also variously called a rising handspring, kick-up, Chinese get up, kick-to-stand, kip up, nip up, flip-up, and carp skip-up.
