I think the TKD side kick, spinning back kick and spinning wheel kick would be a good addition for the ring.

An example, if you have a strong rear thigh kick and use it frequently, your opponent will either figure out the timing and close with a right cross, skip into a cut kick and punish your planted leg or your ribs or move back just out of the kicks path and come in with their hands (easiest response).

Whenever they move back, instead of spinning through your missed thigh kick, you can recover from about 3/4 of a spin, chamber your rear leg and turn it into a side kick to the body. That side kick lands alot and can turn around your sparring match, letting you stay on the offensive.

Have you used any non-muay thai kicks before while sparring or in the ring and with what success?
