Knee chambered shin roundhouse kick?

Using a chambered kick as opposed to a MT style roundhouse. Can the use of the shin potentialy make for an effective technique?

Nope.
Nope.
Nope.

According to Damien it HAS to be a Muay Thai Roundhouse kick for you to use the word roundhouse.

Otherwise the Nomenclature Nazis will hunt you down and make you do Taekwondo.

And then you're self defense skills will be nil.

As far as striking with the shin, I wouldn't. But that's just me. Lot's of people do it.

Word.

You'd have to refer to Darrien. He's the expert on what to call your techniques.

Why wouldn't you? I haven't heard good arguements against it, so maybe you could give me something to think about. And, are you speaking about not using the shin on a certain target or not at all. Thanks.

It seems to me that the force from a chambered round kick comes from a whipping action. The knee is the fulcrum and the instep is the fastest moving part of the 'whip'.

Using the shin in this case would take away from the power of the kick.

That being said, there is a variation of the thai kick called half knee-half kick. The kick is thrown like a thai round kick, but the knee is kept bent (45ish). As the knee approaches the centerline, the kicker drives forward into the opponent. The contact is still with the shin but higher up, close to the knee. It looks like a chambered kick to the onlooker and is used mostly to punish the thighs or belly.
