Go maul. I grew up splitting cords and cords of wood every summer.
Axes are good for cutting down trees, but mauls are nice for actually splitting on contact.
Few pointers:
Split on something solid. If it helps, try setting the piece to be split on another, large solid round piece (no, do NOT try and balance two small pieces on top of one another).
Avoid knots like the plague. They suck. Hard.
Gloves to avoid blisters.
Swing slow and accurately, don't try to hit home runs every time. Swing placement is important.
