I wouldn't even call it a hit, given that it's a kick. =D
Anyways, I use this kick rather liberally on my MA/Inv Scrapper, and it's never bothered me.
It's a simple axe kick?
My only real issue with it is that its chance to immobilize is so absurdly low that I'll see about 3 immobilizes every thousand uses.

Just divide the damage to two hits (much like flurry has like 8). Or add 2 hit sounds. That for me would be quite pleasing. |

You may not have been here for the "OMG Katana doesn't do that! should be in different pose / swing differently /yaddayadda" before they changed it... 
It's just this way in the game. That it's "based loosely" on some other real world kick wouldn't surprise me, but since they don't do any motion capture in this game's animation department, it's all hand-animated, I doubt we'd see any changes to the actual animation. But you're right, another sound would be nice, though lately they've been redoing other sounds too - the footsteps and stuff... maybe!

It's not two kicks, it's one kick. The first part is raising the leg so that you can deliver a downward "axe kick," as it were. It's no different from Parry having a single empty swing that's the actual parry, followed by a second swing that's the hit or Soaring Dragon having an empty motion of raising the sword which can be interpreted as a hit but isn't, before delivering a downward slash.

This can't be compared to parry or soaring dragon, they are like that for a reason.

It can very much be compared to at least Parry. To me, Parry looks like nothing other than two swings, yet it's only one hit. Crippling Axe Kick is the same. It may be subject to interpretation, but to my eyes the first part is not an upward kick.
