It's probably my inexperience at striking showing, but I didn't see much difference in the delivery other than one big exception (and maybe that's the difference!): he pulled the "karate" kick back after landing, but followed-through with the "muay thai" kick (like coach Wally and coach Chris tell us to). It seems to me that that would account for the major difference in applied force. I would like to see the results of a "karate" kick that was followed-through and a "muay thai" kick that was pulled back by Vera. Is that typical of karate; to achieve a faster, more precise (if less powerful) strike? Would not following through on a "muay thai" kick render it by definition not a muay thai kick and vice-versa for the karate kick?

Jason - from what I can see, his Muay Thai kick has more rotation from start to finish. Think of it as swinging a club, whereas the Karate kick is more of a snap.

Look away from the actual impact and look at his planted foot - it rotates a lot further with the Muay Thai kick, which continues the motion and generates all that force.

The tradeoff appears to be that a Karate kick should theoretically allow the deliverer to get back into their stance.

However, I watched the video with no sound, and don't profess to be an expert in Karate or Thai boxing, so maybe someone else can weigh in and clarify.

nice observations marc. Keep in mind you have a muay thai practioner trying to demonstrate a karate kick. They shouldve got a karate guy to demonstrate it.
