Перевод: Upward hook back kick
The Upward Hook Back Kick combines back kick power with a hooking redirection at the end of the trajectory, sweeping upward and around the target. [1] The initial motion is a standard back kick, but near full extension, the foot hooks upward and inward, creating a scooping effect that can catch targets behind the opponent's guard. [1]
Offers specific tactical advantages over the standard back kick in appropriate situations. [1]
Cross-style martial arts kicking tradition; documented in kick compendiums. [1]
Primarily a training, demonstration, and point-fighting technique. Rarely seen in full-contact MMA or kickboxing due to acrobatic risk and telegraphing. Appears occasionally in TKD and point-fighting karate tournaments. [1]

The upward hook back kick, also called a reverse roundhouse kick, is executed by rotating into a scissor stance where the kicking foot's heel faces upward and backward toward the opponent. Moo Yea Do Norco emphasizes that beginners should start with low kicks before progressing to chest and head height, with the critical element being the snap of the back heel as the leg rotates through the striking arc. The instructor stresses that the foot must spin completely back to its original position rather than remaining extended mid-air, and that forward lean increases proportionally with target height—head kicks require significantly more forward flexion than low kicks. Hand positioning remains elevated throughout to maintain balance, which Moo Yea Do Norco identifies as the most essential component of the technique. The striking surface is consistently the back of the heel, delivered with a sharp rotational snap. While Beyond Taekwondo's transcript appears to address throat strikes rather than back kicks, it does reinforce the importance of hip rotation and body unification for power generation—principles applicable across kicking techniques. Both sources emphasize repetitive practice and proper form over speed, with focus mitt work recommended for developing power and accuracy.

According to Moo Yea Do Norco, you must bring your foot back to its original position immediately after the kick—leaving it hanging in the middle is a common mistake. Practice the rotation separately until you can execute it smoothly before adding the upward motion.
Moo Yea Do Norco emphasizes that balance is the most critical element, and this happens through proper hand and foot movement—avoid letting your hands go 'airplane mode' and instead keep them up and controlled to maintain stability throughout the technique.
You should snap the kick with the back of your heel as it comes around, not the front of the foot. Moo Yea Do Norco stresses the importance of this snap in the middle of the motion for proper execution.
