Food for thought.
Steven Seagal claims that he invented a unique kick, Yari-geri or the spear
kick. It has no chamber, so it suddenly appears on target. He taught this
secretive movement to Anderson Silva, and Lyoto Machida (?). Many, many years
before legendary front kick UFC knock-outs, the Bo-Geri
棒蹴り(ぼうげり、ボウジリ)は本部御殿手に伝わる蹴り技です。上段蹴りの一種です。…
Stick kick (Bōgeri, Bōjiri) is a kicking technique handed down to the Motobu Gotente. It is a type of upper step kick

Angel Lemus Kaishu Isa Sensei who is an exponent of Ufushiku Bujutsu demonstrated this type of kick which has no chamber. Nothing new under the sun. He also demonstrated it targeting the things and lower abdomen and works brilliantly as a "stop kick" to jam or stop an opponent who is coming at you. it is very difficult to see thus it is hard to block.
Bob Taiani Not a axe kick--but in Oyama Sensei book AGE GERI--GOING UP NOT COMING DOWN
Bo-geri is a lost technique except for Motobu Udundi, although it has been transmitted since the era of Matsumura Sokon. It is similar to axe kick of Kyokushin Karate, but the axe kick was made in about 1987. Therefore it is a modern technique. And Bo-geri is done to various directions including the opponent from behind.
"Matsumura, Tōma, and Nomura were all martial artists of the same era. Matsumura Sensei was known by the people as a man of unparalleled bravery. He was from the Bu-clan, his Chinese-style name was Seitatsu and his personal pen name was Unyū. He freely handled his footwork and was excellent in kicking upwards.
Occasionally, when a comrade tried to restrain him by throwing his arms around
him from behind, although Matsumura Sensei could not use his hands, he freely
kicked up with his legs on the left and on the right. In this way he kicked
down the person who threw his arms around him from behind".
