Ball of the foot requires less conditioning than shins (lots of nerves) and is safer than instep (lots of small bones). You have to kick your target at an angle though. E.g. you can't line parallel with a wall and expect to kick directly with the ball without establishing major flexibility in the foot. Angle away a little bit first and try hitting.
TKD roundhouse is fast but weaker. Muay thai is stronger but slower. I like to think this as a good mix of both. Good to know all 3 though

Also using the ball of your foot to attack can be quite effective maybe like a punch. Your legs are alot more powerful then your arms so if your accurate and fast you really dont need to be that strong because if you aim at the jaw or artery you dont need that much force. Also I'm sure hes not kicking it that hard or fast because that his method of teaching.

Wow there sure are so many damn haters on youtube. If your wise you will just be grateful to learn new techniques in different ways. I'm currently taking judo and I hear different ways to to different throws pins etc. not evey one technique is going to be done the same way. Also you can't judge a martial arts based off one guy because its the individual that is doing the martial arts that going to determine how good it is.
