    the spinning back kick (some styles call it a spinning side kick since the toes aren't pointed down) is the single most underrated move in striking. The power and explosiveness of a spinning back kick is incredible.
    From a tactics perspective, you can see from Kwonkicker (who I've followed for years and years, got great kicking tips from him back in the day), that a good spinning back kick is subtle. The Thai boxer doesn't even begin to react until half way through the kick, when Kwonkicker's shoulders start to rotate, and by then it's pretty much too late.

    Currently, Taekwondo style fighters are not well seen in kickboxing/Muay Thai matches, but in the past, there were TKD based fighters who competed head-on with kickboxers and Muay Thai fighters and won a lot.
    Manson Gibson, Ignacio Capllonch, Serkan Yılmaz, Hassan Kassrioui, Steve Vick
    What they have in common is that they have some skill in boxing (sometimes they win with punchs), and their side kicks, back kicks, roundhouse kicks, spin kicks, and spinning back fists are beautifully fast and strong.
    Among them, Manson Gibson's style is truly unique and is a subject of study. His side kick's reach is really long, and he is very strong in clinch because he has done some amateur wrestling.

    Fanboys would say "the Muay Thai guy wasn't even that good", "that was a lucky shot because the Muay Thai guy wasn't paying attention". Kwonkicker used taekwondo in this match and won fair and square. A lot of Muay Thai fighters have this hidden ego where they crap on other martial arts when a Muay Thai fighter wins and when a Muay Thai fighter looses the fanboys make a million excuses on why. I once tried a Muay Thai gym and 2 of the teachers had egos bigger I could imagine. In a nutshell I didn't get treated right there and I left so I can do taekwondo and boxing and I've never been happier. There's a dark side to Muay Thai that no Muay Thai practitioner wants to reveal other than me and some other individuals who have the guts.

    That lower block definitely has to be a WTF thing. Sometimes I do notice some ITF practitioners do it, but it's a habit I see with sports practitioners because the coach would force them to do it. I've crossed trained between the two in my late teen. Anyway, that video was one of my favourites from him, and it really opened my eyes as to what TKD lacks. More like they waste time trainig for their own tournaments, when they could easily do a 30 min, after-class, kickboxing rules spar to really kick ass like Micah here.
