Обзор

The Inside Axe Kick subfamily covers axe kicks where the leg is raised by swinging it upward from the inside (medial side) of the opponent's guard and then brought straight down onto the target. ^[1] The inside trajectory means the kicking leg passes close to or between the opponent's arms as it ascends, making it more difficult to block because it enters through the centreline. ^[1],[2] The inside axe kick targets the collarbone, shoulder, or head of the opponent, and its inside arc can bypass defences oriented to block lateral or outside attacks. ^[2],[3]

Биомеханический механизм

Primary Action — Ballistic leg extension or rotation — the shin or foot impacts the target at high velocity

Joints Involved — Hip (flexion/rotation), knee (extension for front kicks, flexion-extension for roundhouse), ankle (stabilised)

Force Vector — Linear (front kick/teep — hip flexion and knee extension) or rotational (roundhouse — hip rotation with shin contact)

Kinetic Chain — Pivot foot rotation → hip turn → femur whip → shin contact — the leg acts as a heavy bat with the hip as the pivot

Позиция и вход

From fighting stance — Raise the leg high (straight or crescent), drive the heel down onto the target (collarbone, shoulder, or head)

From close range — Short-arc axe kick brought down quickly when the opponent's hands are low

As counter (after opponent's kick) — Raise the leg as the opponent recovers from their kick, bring the heel down

Заметки по тренировке

✓Raise the kicking leg across the body (inside-out trajectory) and drop the heel down onto the target

✓The inside axe kick crosses the centre line, making it effective against opponents standing in a wide or squared stance

✓The leg sweeps inward then drops — the arc comes from inside to outside across the opponent's guard

✓Use it when the opponent's lead hand is low or when they are leaning forward, exposing the collarbone and shoulder

✓The inside trajectory is less common than the outside and therefore less expected

✓Chamber by lifting the knee across the body, then extend the leg upward before chopping down

✓The inside axe kick can also target the forearm to break down the guard physically

Типичные ошибки

!Crossing the leg so far inside that you lose balance and fall toward the kick

!Not raising the leg high enough before chopping — the height is what creates the "axe" trajectory

!Aiming at the top of the head where the skull is strongest — target the collarbone, temple, or bridge of the nose

!Pulling the kick short and not following through the downward chop

!Exposing the groin during the inside trajectory — keep the hip turned slightly to protect

!Telegraphing by rotating the hips before the leg rises

!Over-using the inside axe kick — it is a surprise technique and loses effectiveness with repetition

Standard Inside Axe Kick

Род

The Standard Inside Axe Kick is executed by swinging the kicking leg upward along the body's centreline, passing inside the opponent's guard, and then driving the heel straight down onto the opponent's collarbone, shoulder, or head. [1] The kicker uses hip flexion and adductor engagement to lift the leg along the medial path before gravity and active hip extension accelerate the downward strike. [1,2] This variant is commonly used in taekwondo sparring as a scoring technique targeting the head. [2,3]

Часто задаваемые вопросы

Should I use my toes or heel when throwing an inside axe kick?

According to Gabriel Varga, if you want to be more controlled, point your toes so they brush down the top of the head. If you want maximum damage, pull your toes back and strike with the heel instead.

How do I generate more power in my axe kick?

Gabriel Varga emphasizes keeping your leg straight rather than extending and shooting it down, and focusing on the 'whip and the drop' motion. The faster you drop the kick, the more power you generate, and significant flexibility is required to chamber the leg high enough for maximum force.

How should I set up an inside axe kick in a fight?

Gabriel Varga recommends setting up the axe kick by first throwing a front kick to establish distance, then a low kick to keep your opponent worried about range, and only then whipping the axe kick up and dropping it down.

What's the key to actually landing knockdowns with an axe kick?

Gabriel Varga notes that knockdowns with the axe kick are very rare, with Andy Hook being one of the few who successfully scored them consistently, and he attributes this to Hook's use of a straight-leg chamber combined with excellent height and dropping speed.
