@TheBountar It wouldn't be more damaging than a headkick and it's slower, so as far as "traditional" MMA goes it's not useful.
Also notice how he's stepping in, It's like a rear leg kick, but even slower, if you're against a wrestler you'd be on your ass before you even have your leg up.
That being said I've seen it used in a fight or two. But never successfully, I don't think they were even able to connect with it. MMA is too fast for this telegraphed fighting style.
when I do this kick, I lift it up by the side...not front, and then just lean my body backwards for the power...key?...50% flexibility 50% speed when your leg is going up
People who comment on videos and having argument with someone else obviously have no lives... Unless they're gamers, cause gamers have lots of lives...
THAT WAY OF KICKING AIN'T VERY EFFECTIVE DUE TO,IT'S VERY EASY TO SEE IT,INSTEAD OF PULLING ALL YOUR LEG UO,FIRST YOU HAVE TO RISE YOUR KNEE IN ORDER TO HIDE THE KICK AND THEN KICKINGMTHAT WAY IS FASTER,!!!!!! WELL LIKE IN TAE KWON DO
It's nothing to do with associations. This guy is NOT performing the same kick over and over. He shows an inside cresent kick, then an outside cresent kick then eventually shows the axe kick. Axe kick comes straight down on the opponent, funny enough like an AXE. To get the leg into position he picks the leg up bent and extends the leg above opponents head or chest and then drops the leg and body in opposite directions to create power on the kick. Simples! TKD 24 yrs
MAN this kick is hard to get right! The flexibility aspect is the thing that gets me. WHICH IS RIDICULOUS because I can touch my head to both of my knees. It might also be a balance thing, but I don't know. Anything that people do wrong, like most often?
This is a muay Thai wannabe who tries the kick push while lifting his leg. Advice: if you get beat up at school or wanna look cool to people then do something else. Martial arts take as much dedication as marriage. You should be able to stick thru the most boring and weakest lock escape moves and not to stop after you got what you want/didn't get what you want. Books and movies don't teach you how to make art, Only experience does.
yur doin it wrong. you bring your knee up first, then extend the leg, then bring it down. that's usually the rule of taekwondo in most kicks, knee first, and the higher you bring your knee the higher you'll kick. try dong dolleyo chagi (which you should hopefully know is korean for roundhouse) with your leg straight. notice how slow it is .... now try it by first lifting your knee. notice how painful it is for the air in front of you... usually one would use gravity to their advantage.
When the kick is decending you can also strike with the heel. But only do so in a self defense situation. This kick landed with the heel to the nose or collar bone will break it.
Wow people arguing over axe kick technique! lol, there are several different ways to throw any kick sticking rigidly to one way is narrow minded. You can bring an axe up outside to inside , inside to outside or vertically, bend the knee or not, you can even bring it down at a slight angle, although anything greater than 45 degrees might look more like a hook kick. The only thing that really matters is if it does the job. If it works, use it.

I have been learning karate for 1 years. But we never do it. Though it is more powerful, but we have a block against this kick. If we can catch it, we just kick opponent's balls. LOL
@foysal13 Lol no offense but i do have a bit of TKD expirence (7 years), and if you fought against someone who performed this kick correctly, it would be extremely painful to catch unless you conditioned yourself daily to take blows to your head or neck. plus, kicking the opponents balls is sorta disrespectful as well as cheap if used while practicing.
@kyryllo im a old school jujitsu teacher and we dont do it. lol! TRUTH is i use it myself depending on situation i use foot or heel. but combat is diffrent try using it with boots. who cares then!
@kyryllo you dont slide foward when you do it. My master is a grand master and has been doing tae kwon do for over twenty years and he train part of the army when he was in south korea. He was his own school in america. I have been doing tae kwon do for seven years and i am a second degree black belt and I am on the Demo team. The person who did this did not take his stance every well either and you are not supposed to bend you knee.
@kyryllo i've been doing tkd for 9 year's and im pretty sure it's more effective if u hit with ur bone under ur foot(unfortunatly my english so good i don't know the name of the bone)
@kyryllo actually azulablue is right my father has been doing tae kwon do for 45 years but the concept and structure of your kick is correct :D. continue in your studies my friend
people do not try to attempt this until your flexebility in both your legs are acceptable for this kick. You can end up straining a muscle very badly at least take one or two tkd lessons to build up your flexebility first ty.
@azulablue1 i dun think you could even get a black belt yet?? cos only 15 and above could get a black belt and to get a 3rd dan, u nid to be at least 18..
@Lrdvltr there are two sides to taekwondo.... the sport, and the actual martial art. obviously you wouldn't start bouncing on your heels and check stepping someone if they pulled a knife, if that is what your ranting about. and if you say that taekwondo doesn't protect against that, then you should try learning poomse 1
@azulablue1 this man is a master such as i in taekwondo.. he shows great flexability and good accuracy.. the way he kicks looks like 4th degree junior master.. as for u young one .. u have only 3rd degree experience and this is indeed the way axe kick is done.. there is out and in axe kick, in and outaxe kick and basic strikeing axe kick
@ghostllunall my tae kwon do master has been do tae won do for over 30 years he was in the army in korea and he has tought me personally, because hes like my dad. If you were doing board breaking you wouldnt be siding in to kick and you don't bend your knee. I would no I have won 7 gold metals in borad breaking.
@azulablue1 This is how its done. After 15 years of jujitsu, I can't see how else you could even get the body mechanics right to deliver an effective kick (in that style).
whenever i try to preform this kick, my knee joint gets pained on impact. i am pretty sure i am doing it wrong...what am i doing wrong and how can i improve it?
@joshtmarr you're likely doing it correct it's just that tkd is a very hard style on the body. Gets worse as you age too. If you stick with TKD just know some things you flat out may not be able to do so must adapt different techniques. If the club or school won't let you then leave it behind and shake the dust of it off your feet.
@robocoastie It's more likely that he is doing it wrong, he shouldn't punch with heel, it's really bad 4 knee, and his target should be flexyble...cuz when you kick, oponent goes down!!!
You can only hurt yourself if you use it full force on an opponent who can fully block it or if you do it incorrectly/twisted. Though if your flexible enough (like put ur knee in ur spine and ur spine in ur face or something) you would probably be fine
esse chute está fugindo totalmente às origens e não está sendo executado da maneira correta, o próprio vem do karate, o famoso kakato geri, ou podemos dizer, chute com calcanhar, ou axe kick muito usado pelo Andy Hug, mas ao invés disso os chutes demonstrados no video são basicamente uma espécie de chusoku geri e não um kakato e lógicamente devese levantar mais a perna e ter uma boa flexicibilidade, com o kakato concerteza o impacto é muito superior.
@Nesszors yes you can just like with any fully extended kick of a side fist punch. So your knee should always be slightly bent when the leg is coming down. Its like practising normal roundhouse kicks, never fully extend, even when your punching or kicking a bag. But those high kicks really only work in competitions, any street fight or no holds barred fight (ie cage fighting) if you catch that leg, the opponent is going down bigtime, however, if that leg connects its game over as well, risky.
Axe kicks aren't that great for real fights unless the other person is stumbling backwards then it's perfect. Also, don't use a jump axe kick on someone cause it can potentially kill them.
@thephunkyone Andy Hug does the Karate axe kick. Karate drops the heel on the head or the shoulders. In tournaments, I've seen a lot of Karate fighters having their shoulder broken or have shattered skulls. TKD axe kick is mainly aimed at the face with their foot.

its called a slamming kick but frm wat i see most westerners tkd practioners calls it the axe kick. tats wat i noe, iam still trying to kick with impact
this kick is amzing for sure..but i have yet to see a fighter who can lift their leg straight above their head at 90 degrees and then kick..anyone know of one?
Yeah, I'm not arguing that you need no knowledge of stand up fighting. What I'm saying is that if somebody is lying on the ground face up, using Jiu-Jitsu is smarter than putting your leg 90 degrees in the air and kicking down.
I completely agree with you, you have to understand though that it depends what circumstances its used under. Lets say Cheick Kongo has someone on the ground he can either A.)Go to the ground and fight there or B.) Attempt to damage the opponent as much as possible
Cheick would obviously choose B because his ground game is weak, so for him, kicking would make more sense than going to the ground. By the way youre describing the kick you sound like you think it has no power, but it is.
Yeah, that is true. There is quite a bit of power behind this kick, but if you want a 100% chance of defeating your opponent, a choke is the best option.
I am a Jiu-Jitsu guy, so I do anything that I can to get my opponent down and keep him down. I can, however, see this kick being used as effectively as Jiu-Jitsu.
hey man u sound like u might know the name of this kick
ok ur in ur kicking stance and ready to kick u turn ur waist go on the ball of ur foot that ur posting on and try kick the person with ur free leg with the top or to the side of ur foot i got taught the kick but forgot the name of it cud u plz resopnde to me i really need to know
once the movement of this axe kick reaches the floor what sould i continue doing? through 1, 2 punches to my opponet's face? should i quickly performe a side kick so as 2 make sure da other guy dun get any closer (this if da other guy had anticipated my movement 2b performed and decided 2 step away 2 rush in2 da short distance contraattackin' with an fast-moving forward punch or something alike).? Please, tell me what to do next cos i cun c it.
Thank ye very much and i hope ye can understand me
this is one of the few kicks i cant preform, even though i stretch alot and do flexibility exercises when my leg gets up there my hip clicks and locks together, and boy it hurts am i doing something wrong.
ps to the guy who said the spinning back kick comment, trust me i know i was sparring my instructor i anticipated a side kick (he has a routine) but then bam! right in the nads, luckily i wore a cup which cracked...
You can use it on people on the ground, but its also a very powerful kick standing up too, plus its very awkward and hard to block if your not use to it.
@anirudhkrishnamani thats a good strategy but i think if you do it on something really hard it hurts your heel so i just use my foot because you know how theres this pad kinda thing on the base of your foot it absorbs the pain
@anirudhkrishnamani Karate axe kick uses mainly the heels and sometimes the foot. And yes, heels are much more damaging. There's actual history records where Karate fighters has actually killed an opponent by landing the heel kick on the skull or the back of the neck. Even today, some had their arms and shoulders broken from a axe kick using the heel. But TKD uses the foot so it's easier to land. Done successfully, it's still capable of knocking out an opponent.
The axe kick is one of those kicks that will never get dated, I use it constantly either, skipping, sliding or tornado. There are many variations of this kick. I'll do a tutorial later on the spinning axe more variations. Guys like pedro xavier, and Jason Bourelly popularized this kick in the sport karate arena. Check out "Click click boom"
I do MMA, and i didnt strech just now, and got up and tryed this after not doing shit all day, and i pulled my groin, and rolled around on the ground in pain, hahaha.
High kicks are very easy to "telegraph",watching opponent set-up or simply watching the eyes can alert you to a large movement coming.The spinning back kick is very effective and can seriously/ permanently damage a male opponent. Nothing like an exploded nut the size of a grapefuit or larger can lay most any guy up for 4-8 weeks easily(personal experience).Watch yourself,get in and out and remember your blocks.
of course you can use this kick on a body, slam your foot down on their collar bone and crush it. slam your foot in their face to knock them out. if they're guarding their face with their hands then slam your foot down onto their hands to remove the guard.
this kick is bloody good, but idiots who don't know how to use it underate it its utility
You must learn to control your kicks when working out,if a heavy bag was used then injury can occur easily. Practice more on the reverse snap,balance and next move/moves.Don't laugh but veterinary liniment (used on race horse muscles) works wonders on knees,ankles and more.This liniment can be obtained at Farm & Fleet or any tack store.
what is this sport? :$ another version of taekwondo?

@robocoastie It's more likely that he is doing it wrong, he shouldn't punch with heel, it's really bad 4 knee, and his target should be flexyble...cuz when you kick, oponent goes down!!!

You can only hurt yourself if you use it full force on an opponent who can fully block it or if you do it incorrectly/twisted. Though if your flexible enough (like put ur knee in ur spine and ur spine in ur face or something) you would probably be fine

for maximum efficiency you must hit with heel, not with your fingers...
It will shorten your distance for a bit , but result will be devastating

esse chute está fugindo totalmente às origens e não está sendo executado da maneira correta, o próprio vem do karate, o famoso kakato geri, ou podemos dizer, chute com calcanhar, ou axe kick muito usado pelo Andy Hug, mas ao invés disso os chutes demonstrados no video são basicamente uma espécie de chusoku geri e não um kakato e lógicamente devese levantar mais a perna e ter uma boa flexicibilidade, com o kakato concerteza o impacto é muito superior.

can't you injure your knee with this?
Nesszors 1 year ago
@Nesszors yes you can just like with any fully extended kick of a side fist punch. So your knee should always be slightly bent when the leg is coming down. Its like practising normal roundhouse kicks, never fully extend, even when your punching or kicking a bag. But those high kicks really only work in competitions, any street fight or no holds barred fight (ie cage fighting) if you catch that leg, the opponent is going down bigtime, however, if that leg connects its game over as well, risky.

It is mainly focussed on the back of the heel and ankle.

Something people dont learn is that many kicks and punches aren't single use, they can be put into combo or used differently.
Instead of sidekicking the stomach, side kick the hips, weaken his balance, soften his muscles in the legs.
Or Axe kick, instead of hitting the ground, you can aim high and come down hard on the head and it may not look it, but that is alot of power.
Like the Muay Thai Knee in a way.

Axe kicks aren't that great for real fights unless the other person is stumbling backwards then it's perfect. Also, don't use a jump axe kick on someone cause it can potentially kill them.
Ellis12754 1 year ago
the good thing about an axe kick is most people think youve just missed your kick, till it comes back down.
go watch some andy hug, he'll show you how its done.

@thephunkyone Andy Hug does the Karate axe kick. Karate drops the heel on the head or the shoulders. In tournaments, I've seen a lot of Karate fighters having their shoulder broken or have shattered skulls. TKD axe kick is mainly aimed at the face with their foot.

Eh, you're better off using Jiu-Jitsu and pinning, choking, or arm-barring your opponent than kicking downward.
ajuicejemas 2 years ago
you're going to knock someone out by pinning them?
Vaxxel 2 years ago
No, but you can put them into a position where the cannot strike you very effectively while you have at least one arm free to pummel their face in.
ajuicejemas 2 years ago
this isnt 1996 anymore, everyone knows basic grappling, thats why you need both grappling and stand up.
Vaxxel 2 years ago
Yeah, I'm not arguing that you need no knowledge of stand up fighting. What I'm saying is that if somebody is lying on the ground face up, using Jiu-Jitsu is smarter than putting your leg 90 degrees in the air and kicking down.
ajuicejemas 2 years ago
You don't understand.
Cheick Kongo does that to do damage on the ground, there is NO way he would ever intentionally go to the ground in a fight
Vaxxel 2 years ago
I completely agree with you, you have to understand though that it depends what circumstances its used under. Lets say Cheick Kongo has someone on the ground he can either A.)Go to the ground and fight there or B.) Attempt to damage the opponent as much as possible
Cheick would obviously choose B because his ground game is weak, so for him, kicking would make more sense than going to the ground. By the way youre describing the kick you sound like you think it has no power, but it is.
Vaxxel 2 years ago
Yeah, that is true. There is quite a bit of power behind this kick, but if you want a 100% chance of defeating your opponent, a choke is the best option.
I am a Jiu-Jitsu guy, so I do anything that I can to get my opponent down and keep him down. I can, however, see this kick being used as effectively as Jiu-Jitsu.

You can use it on people on the ground, but its also a very powerful kick standing up too, plus its very awkward and hard to block if your not use to it.

@anirudhkrishnamani thats a good strategy but i think if you do it on something really hard it hurts your heel so i just use my foot because you know how theres this pad kinda thing on the base of your foot it absorbs the pain

anirudhkrishnamani 1 year ago
@anirudhkrishnamani Karate axe kick uses mainly the heels and sometimes the foot. And yes, heels are much more damaging. There's actual history records where Karate fighters has actually killed an opponent by landing the heel kick on the skull or the back of the neck. Even today, some had their arms and shoulders broken from a axe kick using the heel. But TKD uses the foot so it's easier to land. Done successfully, it's still capable of knocking out an opponent.

The axe kick is one of those kicks that will never get dated, I use it constantly either, skipping, sliding or tornado. There are many variations of this kick. I'll do a tutorial later on the spinning axe more variations. Guys like pedro xavier, and Jason Bourelly popularized this kick in the sport karate arena. Check out "Click click boom"

Any kick above waist height is too dangerous. It's far too easy for an opponent to catch your leg and break you kneecap.

But some do have the speed, flexibility and timing to pull it off. (Speaking about high kicks in general, not axe kick specifically)
dongjinkim 2 years ago
High kicks are very easy to "telegraph",watching opponent set-up or simply watching the eyes can alert you to a large movement coming.The spinning back kick is very effective and can seriously/ permanently damage a male opponent. Nothing like an exploded nut the size of a grapefuit or larger can lay most any guy up for 4-8 weeks easily(personal experience).Watch yourself,get in and out and remember your blocks.
eldiablo68 2 years ago
of course you can use this kick on a body, slam your foot down on their collar bone and crush it. slam your foot in their face to knock them out. if they're guarding their face with their hands then slam your foot down onto their hands to remove the guard.
this kick is bloody good, but idiots who don't know how to use it underate it its utility

Dont you give urself a knee-bar type thing when you do this kick?
Cause i tryed it on a bagg and it bent the shit out of my knee, and then it hurt for the dayy..
Curatalo506 2 years ago
You must learn to control your kicks when working out,if a heavy bag was used then injury can occur easily. Practice more on the reverse snap,balance and next move/moves.Don't laugh but veterinary liniment (used on race horse muscles) works wonders on knees,ankles and more.This liniment can be obtained at Farm & Fleet or any tack store.
