  • @ChrisWindyBoy unless the arms break and sometimes even then not lol

  • @TheObelix876 True that... But if their arms got sore enough, There would be an opening... But that wouldn't happen...

  • @ChrisWindyBoy aye but Muay thai kicks are more useless against people who are actually trained to keep their hands up ( boxers/kickboxers /sanda boxers etc

  • @TheObelix876 I guess the speed is up to the one fighting... But Muay thai fighters use their shins cause it hurts their opponent more, TKD kicks are focused on knock out...

  • @ChrisWindyBoy technicly you are right taekwondo kicks are more powerfull ( F = m x v ) but taekwondoka's usually kick with their feet while thai boxers kick with their shins which are alot faster

  • @lethal994 It's faster alright... My leg is pretty heavy and my kick is fast that's why... Meaning the faster you go, the more powerful the kick would be... In my case, the TKD kick is stronger than muay thai or muay boran... But I adore both styles... and I have a friend who's Karate/Muay Thai/ Silat/ Aikido/ Juijutsu/ ... And I felt his kick to my thigh and it really hurts... When i kicked him on the head he fell unconscious... But i bet if he had countered that I would've lost...

  • @ChrisWindyBoy idk about if its faster, but a tkd roundhouse is certainly not more powerful than a muay thai roundhouse. the reason for this is becuase in tkd, the roundhouses power comes from the snap of the leg...while in muay thai, there is no snap, its more like a baseball bat swinging...all the power comes from the rotation of the body which is more powerful than the snap of your quad muscle

  • @ChrisWindyBoy

    true that

  • @stridercrowe I do TKD and I tried doing a muay thay roundhouse kick and I prefer tkd style cause it's fasterand more powerful...

  • @ChrisWindyBoy It depends how good their axe kick is now doesn't it? If they hit me, then damn, if im still conscious, that man's getting a high five and a beer on me. My point above is simply that a roundhouse kick is hardly something to be scoffed at as "impractical." In a self-defense situation, yeah,a roundhouse is something I might do, and wouldn't be surprised if the other person tried it either - they're simple, strong, effective and widely taught in one form or another.
