How does Kofi Kingston do Trouble In Paradise?

Answer 1

What he is doing is a tornado kick, its quite simple with practice and there are plenty of tutorials for it. One way to do it in the ring is for the attacker to perform the kick, and the victim to slightly block the kick with one hand, the attacker then slaps his/her thigh to create the smacking sound, now all that's left is for the attacker to land the move and the victim to pretend to be in pain.
