The Muay Thai Roundhouse Kick: Technique and Power

The Muay Thai roundhouse uses the entire body as a baseball bat, rotating through the hips and connecting with the shin. Proper technique: step forward at 45 degrees, pivot on standing foot, rotate hips fully through target, swing the arm downward for counterbalance. Common mistakes: leaning back, kicking with foot instead of shin, insufficient hip rotation.

Your trainer drills the roundhouse extensively using Thai pads.
