Sanda and Muay Thai roundhouse kicks (Dtae Wiang) are almost the same. The only difference is that in Muay Thai you hit with the shin, and in Sanda with the ankle (or a few centimeters above). In MT (Muay Thai), this is one of the most popular and strongest kicks, which is 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.

Standing leg: Twist on the ball of your foot until the toes point away from your opponent.
Kick: Extend the hip and hit the opponent with a straightened instep or shin.

Trainer Advice: Muay Thai Roundhouse Kick
Timing, timing, timing.
Roundhouse kicks over the hips aren’t very powerful and are easy to catch.
The back foot is stronger, but the front foot is faster.
