I've trained from time to time whenever I'd vacation to Bakersfield, CA with Eric Nolan at Eric Nolan's Xtreme Kick school. Eric, once during sparring, showed me a Muay Thai short range kick that uses the shin, and the path that this kick took was an up and down, aimed right at the very top of my thigh. There was no set-up akin to karate and/or tkd kicks, it was a very small quick movement, more like Eric was stepping on my thigh with his shin. Eric didn't tell me the name of that darn kick, if it was indeed a kick after all, but, man oh man, I grimiced, and it took all of my Shugyo to not fall down. Now, that's, to me, is the most powerful Short Range Muay Thai kick I've ever experienced!
What's the most powerful SHORT RANGE Muay Thai KICK that you've ever experienced, in your opinion?

Welcome to the world of Muay Thai.
That sounds like a pretty standard Thai style low round kick.
In Thai it's called 'teh tad' which literally translates as kick cut or cutting kick. |
