Learn how to do the Axe kick with Fightcoach! Check out more at https://www.fightcoach.tv ! The power of the axe kick is devastating and the kick is usually aimed to the forehead, nose or shoulder bone. The axe kick should only be used in certain situations because the fighter is leaving the supporting leg exposed against a counter attack or sweep. For this reason, it is not very common to see in muay thai competition.

For maximum effect, keep the kicking leg straight all the way. Working on flexibility may be needed for efficiency. The kick is usually delivered with the rear leg for maximum power, but can be executed with the front leg as well.
