5-Foot Step and Flying Kick

[Krackne]

Is it possible to 5-foot and then use flying kick? I understand that if you flying kick first it would be illegal, "You can't take more than one 5-foot step in a round, and you can't take a 5-foot step in the same round that you move any distance" but I'm curious if that line means the initial 5-foot would be illegal as well.

No. Flying kick is moving, its incompatible with the 5 foot step.

Just for clarity, we're talking about the Unchained Monk ?

Flying Kick: The monk leaps through the air to strike a foe with a kick. Before the attack, the monk can move a distance equal to his fast movement bonus. This movement is made as part of the monk's flurry of blows attack and does not require an additional action. At the end of this movement, the monk must make an attack against an adjacent foe. This movement may be between attacks. This movement provokes an attack of opportunity as normal. The attack made after the movement must be a kick.

Right ?
