A jump from one foot to the other with legs straightened as they swing forward, simulating the motion of scissors.

A kick made by a player while off the ground in which the ball is struck by one foot as the legs make a scissors-like motion.

A scissor kick or Gunting (in Malay Language) in martial arts is used to describe certain kicking techniques that resemble a scissors. It may describe a mid-air kick in which both legs are swung or kicked out in different directions, to strike two opponents simultaneously or in rapid succession. This is particularly common in some schools of Taekwondo and some Chinese martial arts, also in Malay Silat.
