This page provides details on the Oblique Kick or Scoop Kick. This low kick is used in martial arts such as Savate, Hapkido, Muay Thai, Mixed Martial Arts, etc. For information on other martial arts kicks (i.e. spinning hook kick), please visit Black Belt Wiki’s main kicking techniques page.
A oblique/scoop kick is similar to a stomp kick. However, an oblique/scoop kick strikes targets such as a knee diagonally versus a stomp kick which strikes downward vertically.
Martial arts kicks and all other martial arts techniques should only be practiced under the supervision of a trained martial arts instructor in order to prevent injuries and to ensure the proper technique is utilized. In addition, all martial arts techniques and training should be used safely and responsibly.
