It's true there is no martial that has the absolute best kicks but for purposes of speed and effectiveness I always lean towards TKD. We're talk to kick high so we can do our leg kicks faster in a street fight.

I have to say that I'm a big fan of Muay Thai and Capoeira's leg techniques. Muay thai for it's power and capoeira for it's sweeps.
