If by "flips" you mean back flips, then that would be gymnastics and some Taekwondo practitioners have incorporated those moves into what is commonly called "extreme Taekwondo."

If by "flips" you mean throws such as are done in judo and jujutsu, then yes, we do use those as part of Taekwondo's curriculum. Keep in mind that when Taekwondo was formed as a complete Martial Art in the 1950's, many of the Kwan (school) founders had backgrounds in yudo/judo, hapkido/Aikido, and other influences that combined to make Taekwondo a complete system of self defense. We do not put an emphasis on flips and throws like is done in Judo, but they are a viable option that is supposed to be included in a complete Taekwondo curriculum.

No, but there is a bit of spinning around in the air, kicks like spin roundhouse, and lead up spin hook and jump back kick , they are really fun and impressive to.
