Перевод: Hand-on-the-floor side kick
The Hand-on-the-Floor Side Kick is delivered with one hand touching the ground for support, maximising reach and enabling kicks from unusually low or extended positions. [1] By using the hand as an additional support point, the practitioner can extend the kicking range significantly while maintaining balance. [1] This technique appears in various martial arts including capoeira and certain karate styles that incorporate ground-level transitions. [1]
The Hand-on-the-Floor Side Kick offers tactical advantages in specific situations where a standard side kick would be less effective. [1]
Cross-style martial arts kicking tradition. [1]
An acrobatic kick variation primarily seen in demonstrations and point-fighting tournaments. Not practical in full-contact competition due to the ground recovery time required. [1]

The hand-on-the-floor side kick, referred to as the side thrust kick or yup chagi, is a foundational striking technique in Taekwondo emphasizing power, precision, and balance. Mark Anastacio describes the technique as requiring a straddle or horse stance with 50/50 weight distribution, establishing a solid base before execution. The core mechanics involve lifting the knee tightly to the chest while maintaining a straight chamber (not circular like a roundhouse), then extending explosively through the target using the heel or blade of the foot. BVO Master Chong emphasizes the critical importance of the 180-degree pivot of the supporting leg during extension and recommends a diagonal knee chamber toward the opposite shoulder to maintain balance and generate power. Both instructors stress the "piercing" or "thrusting" motion—driving through the target rather than pushing it—and highlight that the supporting leg must twist out during extension to transfer body weight forward effectively. Taekwondo Guide notes the side kick's utility in sparring when thrown from the front leg with minimal rotation, contrasting it with the more powerful rear-leg version. Common execution errors identified across instructors include inadequate pivoting, toes positioned higher than heels, and over-rotation of the upper body. Weight distribution toward the kicking leg rather than the supporting leg prevents backward balance loss during high extensions.

Documented in De Bremaeker & Faige, Section 2.10. A capoeira-influenced side kick where one hand touches the floor for balance — allowing an extremely low body position while kicking at mid or high level. (De Bremaeker & Faige, Essential Book of Martial Arts Kicks, 2010)
A side thrust kick goes straight forward with a piercing motion, whereas a roundhouse comes around. Mark Anastacio emphasizes that you bring your knee to your chest and shoot it straight out, rather than letting your leg come around like a roundhouse.
You should hit with the blade of your foot—your heel—not the flat of your foot. Point your toes down, flex your heel, and drive straight through the target for a powerful, piercing motion.
Imagine your kick goes through the target, not stopping at it. Mark Anastacio stresses putting all your body weight into the kick so the bag thumps and bends inward; if the bag just gets pushed, you're losing power and creating only distance without real impact.
Use a straddle stance to establish your center of gravity, which differs from the forward stance used in roundhouse kicks. First establish your balance and base before executing the kick.
