superkick
Devastating leg strike
A superkick is a professional wrestling move—a sudden, theatrical kick delivered to an opponent's chin or jaw, typically with the sole of the foot.
The move is associated with wrestlers like Shawn Michaels, who called his version "Sweet Chin Music." He hit him with a superkick out of nowhere.
The term sometimes appears in combat sports or casual use for any dramatic kick.
