'''"Dive Kick"''' is a colloquial term for any of several similar moves -- such as the Flying Drop Kick or the Flying Side Kick -- that are used in fights and action sequences, regardless of whether they are practical combat maneuvers or [[Artistic License Martial Arts|showy stage fighting]]. It is a near-ubiquitous trope in any sufficiently action-based media, and many characters in games revolving around fighting, like [[Beat 'em up]]s and [[Fighting Game]]s, tend to have a dive kick of some kind. This may appear in one of two forms:
* A sometimes-literal diving kick performed from the air or after a jump, often used to make an entrance or else make an impact (literally). This is seen mostly in [[Martial Arts Movie]]s and wrestling, and in real life is called a "flying drop kick" or a "flying side kick".
