What i don't understand is why people think that if a kick has similarities of a muay thai kick then it has to be a muay thai kick. Styles have developed very similar kicks without having any exposure to Muay Thai. For instance a lot of people in my KSW class kick like a muay thai fighter but we have never been taught to kick from anyone with muay thai experience. there is 1 instructor in my class with a Muay Thai background and he has never once shown anyone to kick. No longer can you say 'Muay Thai and TKD are the best kicking arts' because its just not true anymore.
