Known in Japanese as "パーティーテーブルキックコース", Party Table Kick Course is a very unique technique that is portrayed in the popular series from the world of manga and anime, One Piece, mostly done by Sanji, the cook of the Straw Hat Pirates. It is a part of his Black Leg Style, a martial art that has powerful kicks as its most highlighted. This Party Table Kick Course is especially constructed for when one is combatting a large group of enemies; hence, it is an indispensable technique for Sanji in crowd control situations.
When using the Party Table Kick Course, Sanji jumps into the air, balancing on just his hands, and begins spinning widely with extended feet. The spiraling movement in front of people or opponents will allow Sanji to deliver many powerful leg hits simultaneously, taking out all opponents on all sides.
