Description

A high impact cardio exercise that involves a powerful kick motion, targeting glutes and hamstrings while improving balance and coordination.

How to Do Rear Axe Kick. Kickboxing

1
Setup
Begin in an athletic ready stance with your feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent, and hands up in a guard position for balance.
2
Setup
Shift your weight onto your lead leg, then lift your rear knee high towards your chest, bringing your heel close to your glute.
3
Extend your lifted leg straight up towards the ceiling, aiming to bring your heel as high as possible while keeping your foot dorsiflexed (toes pulled towards your shin).
4
With a powerful, controlled motion, chop your heel directly downwards in a straight line, as if striking an imaginary target on the ground in front of you. Exhale sharply as you execute the downward strike.
5
Immediately retract your leg by bending your knee and bringing it back towards your chest, then swiftly return your foot to the starting position or a ready stance. Inhale as you recover.

Tips

Maintain a strong, braced core throughout the entire kick to protect your spine and generate maximum power from your hips.
Focus on the 'chopping' motion with your heel, driving it straight down rather than swinging your leg forward, to maximize the axe kick's impact and effectiveness.
Keep your eyes fixed on an imaginary target throughout the entire movement to help maintain balance and improve the accuracy of your strike.
Practice the full range of motion slowly and deliberately first to master the balance and coordination before adding speed and power to your kicks.

Common Mistakes

×Many people lose balance by not engaging their core or not fixating their gaze, so actively brace your abdominal muscles and pick a spot to focus on throughout the kick.
×A common mistake is swinging the leg forward instead of driving the heel down, so ensure you initiate the downward chop with your heel, engaging your glutes and hamstrings for power.
×Kicking with the toes instead of the heel reduces impact and can lead to injury, so actively dorsiflex your foot to present the heel as your primary striking surface.
