Sorry but this video should be labelled how NOT to do a thai round kick. There isnt one bit of the technique that is correct.

This is kicking technique

Ghost your maybe being a bit harsh judging DocThais kick against Paowrits who has done that kick since being 7/8 years old and is a lump lighter!.

Doc is on the right lines in training the kick,ok he does need to rotate,drive and cover more but with concentration on each point and training the kick as he is it will improve.

Hope your well Ghost,im in Thailand next week,maybe buy you a beer if your around?
