My experience in Muay Thai is that spin kicks are not taught in Muay Thai camps. Those who do use spin kicks apply it on their own accord. It's not unusual to see spin kicks in ISKA, because a lot of their Muay Thai kickboxers cross train in karate or TKD.

I agree 100%,that is what I was trying to say to Damian Mavis
about MuayThai fighters who use spin kicks. I have never heard of or seen spin kicks in MuayThai unless combined with another art.

I also agree with you when you say spin kicks can be telegraphed and easily blocked or countered regardless of how fast the kick comes.

I personally believe spin kicks are just for show.Looks cool but how effective are they really?Not at all.
