mule kick
Backward hoof strike
A mule kick is a backward kick delivered with both legs, mimicking how a mule defends itself.
In exercise and gymnastics, it's a movement where you kick both legs back and up from a crouched position.
Figuratively, anything with sudden, powerful backward force: That whiskey has a mule kick to it.
