The roundhouse kick, as I was taught, is almost nothing like the thai kick.
Roundhouse - top of the foot, the knee raises straight, then pivot, snap the leg out and back. tip tap stuff - mainly just kicking with the leg, that's why its sooooo weak.
Thai - instep/shin, arms go, hips go, leg follows, destroying anything and everything in its path, lol no real chambering of the knee, the leg just kinda follows the body movement. This kick is performed with the body, and that's why its so much more powerful.
