Muay Thai. They turn their legs into baseball bats.

Agreed, TKD has a variety of kicks and specializes in them but I just dont think they would make it past the first dozen leg kicks.

Perhaps sanda has a chance in the kicking department since they are like TKD kickers in some sense ie more variety some practical kicks , but also not wussies, ie they can take leg kicks and do on a regular basis

TKD specializes in kicks, but they are not the best at it, no one else specializes in kicking, they are like the down syndrome martial art

TKD has round kicks as well but they are not so good at the most important kick or at defending it thats the biggest reason why they suck also alot of time devoted to low percentage kicks and the otehr arts do the opposite.

They have very powerful but low % kicks

Could you maybe breakdown the styles?

I was a fan of K-1 but I was kind of young and not really analysing what I was watching.

Mark Hunt and Rey Sefo were two of my favorites but I have no clue what style they adhere to.

Remy Bonjasky is my all time favorite and while I know he's dutch I don't know that he's actually an ambassador for the dutch style of kickboxing.

Peter Aerts would be number two to me.

Alexei Ignashov didn't always win, but, man when that guy was on he was really impressive.

Hoost, while not my cup of tea, is easily in the running for GOAT.

Semmy was like the K2 of kickboxing. Again, not really my bag, but, I respect him and appreciate his style.

Badri Hari, Alistair Overeem, Daniel Ghita, Tyrone Spong, and Gohkan Saki were all exceptional there at the end, I dunno what any of them used or what their bases were though.

When it comes to kicks, knees and elbows they are the best. They have perfected their style over hundreds of years and are the first and oldest kick boxers. It's a tradition and a way off life in Thailand.

That is western kickboxing and dutch kickboxing they originate from Japanese Karate style, then mixed with western boxing and muay thai which together creates a style worse than muay thai.

they do focus on high % kicks which is good but lots of chambered round kicks, no teeps, some low % karate kicks are still used, over all its worse in the kicking department than muay thai ,

Yes K1 is a load of bo,llocks, Ignashov one of the most dominant K1 kickboxers lost a fight to a low ranking welterweight muay thai fighter

If we're talking just power, I would say Muay Thai, but if we're talking allround and most suitable for the street, I would say Savate.

Savate has less risk to insure your shins and makes best use of how kicks work when wearing shoes/boots which makes it best for the streets.
