Like a split jump but the set up is completely different -- much more "kick like." To do a lotus (standard wushu way)... -take a few runnign steps in a semi circle. -Throw left leg up causing you body to turn at least 180. -whip your right leg up around slap the foot, and keep swinging it into a split (both legs are suposed to be streight and held up in the air. -pull your legs down and land...

Ok wait, at my school we do what is called a lotus kick...but it's not in the air...it's just kind of a reverse round house kick. Okinawan Shorin-ryu...one of the 9th dan's does that kick. Just thought I'd add that.
This move is a lot like a 360 step over..I think th at you only need a run up and just throw your non kic king leg up straight and bring your kicking leg do wn into a cutting kind of half crescent kick. This kick is insanely easy. You only turn 180 to 230 deg rees!
