HOW TO: Outside Swing Kick
A step by step explanation on how to Outside Swing Kick
Перевод: outside axe kick
The Outside Axe Kick subfamily covers axe kicks where the leg is raised by swinging it upward from the outside (lateral side) of the body in a wide arc before being brought straight down onto the target. [1] The outside trajectory gives the kick a wider, more visible path than the inside variant, but it can generate more momentum due to the larger arc and is effective at clearing the opponent's guard from the outside before striking downward. [1],[2] The outside axe kick targets the same areas — collarbone, shoulder, face, and top of head — but approaches from a different angle. [2],[3]
The outside axe kick developed alongside the inside variant in Korean martial arts, providing an alternative trajectory when the inside path was blocked. [1] Both variants have been standard techniques in taekwondo and karate competition since the formalisation of competitive rules in the 1970s. [2],[3]

The outside axe kick is designed to get over your opponent's shoulders and strike across the head using your outside blade, either coming down or smacking across horizontally.
You want to trace your whole body and get over your own shoulders to generate power and proper height for the kick to clear your opponent's guard.
Start with your hands up, put your leg back, and then rotate to the outside at a higher trajectory to execute the kick.

Основные ошибки, на которые стоит обратить внимание: Arcing too wide and losing the downward angle — the kick must come over the top, not swing around the side / Not raising the leg high enough, resulting in a kick that hits the shoulder at a horizontal angle instead of chopping… / Losing balance because the wide arc pulls the body sideways off the support leg / Telegraphing by leaning away from the kicking side before the leg rises.
