Muay Thai Roundhouse Kick
Sanda and the Muaythai Roundhouse-Kicks (dtae wiang) are almost the same. The only difference is that in Muaythai you hit with the shin and in Sanda with the ankle (or a few cm above) In MT (Muay Thai) this is one of the most popular and strongest kicks, that's why muay thai fighters spend a lot of time hardening their shins. Most MT fights start with Roundhouse Kicks, while most sanda-fights start with Sidekicks.
