"Hello this is Ric O'Kane on behalf of expertvillage.com in this clip we are going to be demonstrating how to do the high roundhouse kick and how to practice it on the bag. If you want to learn more about Muay Thai you can visit fightingtrainer.com. I have here a professional fighter Shawn Yacoubian he is going to demonstrate the strategy and how to set the hight roundhouse. The first thing we are going to do is go low to distract your opponent we want to get his attention going down low. After you get his attention going down low we are going to look as we go low and then suddenly go high. Look low, kick low, look low, kick high. Back up a little bit look low, kick high, and look low, kick low, look low, kick low. Good."

on 8/2/2008 Because of my height, 5'6", I learned in the past that I have to infight. I've returned to martial arts, taking Soo Bahk Do, and my instructor favors the roundhouse kick--but I think a lot of Korean karate practitioners do. I'm not flexible enough for those high kicks, meaning that I can kick as high as the same level as my lower ribcage, but not those head kicks, and there are no points scored in sparring if you go for the thighs. The sparring is noncontact, but scoring is still kept. I've favored front kicks, which I can do fast and hard, but we had a special sparring session, in which only roundhouse kicks and jump kicks were permitted, and my sparring partner was a 6'2" guy who's pretty good, especially using his leg/kicking "reach" to his advantage. I got right in his face to infight, and I found that though my roundhouses were low compared to others, they were really Muay Thai-like in delivery. I didn't care if there would be points scored or not; I wanted to fight. Neither of us could use front kicks, and my "hybrid roundhouses" were more effective than his, which were actually easily blocked by my being inside.
