The characteristics of Sanda’s kicking

At the same time, the thighs have the largest bones in the human body, and the lower muscles are also the most developed muscle groups in the human body. Compared with the legs and arms, The power is much greater, and of course the halberd is naturally more powerful than the fist. The Japanese martial arts community used scientific methods to measure the kicking power of Muay Thai fighters. For example, the side kick is a sweeping leg. The power is five times the maximum force of boxing, and the force of the kick can reach 500 kilograms.

Fourth, the kicking techniques are changeable, including side kicks, front kicks, flat sweeps and other attack methods, and the attacks are unpredictable.
