There needs to be a citation on the stated fact that muay thai roundhouse kicks are faster than taekwondo. A basic dynamics analysis cannot support that conclusion. Do the free body force analysis and tell me how swinging your entire leg is faster than rotating first with a smaller moment arm. 160.39.201.116 (talk) 03:35, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Is it just me, or the muay thai bros
...did this article exist because of all the talk about Chuck Norris? --Aeon17x 15:15, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
- Probably so. But it has to be explained somewhere. —Home Row Keysplurge 05:18, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] The article as of March 2006 and the tour of the muay thai bros
This is still not an encyclopedia entry. One half of it is in how‑to style and the rest just seems to be an excuse to add another link to Chuck Norris. So it would be nice if the article either lost its how‑Chuck‑Norris‑does‑a‑kick vibe or was moved to a more proper place. Just my 2¢. —xyzzyn 03:34, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Linking to Chuck Norris and the muay thai bros
Will those who wish to link to Chuck Norris in any way please consider:
- altering the article so that his significance in relation to the kick is clear to others,
- adding citations to that effect and
- then adding a link.
Thanks for your attention. —xyzzyn 14:24, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Importance of the muay thai bros
Okay, I tried explaining the 'importance' of the roundhouse kick meme (what a concept) and why it's associated with Chuck Norris. --The Centipede 06:19, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Association With Chuck Norris and the muay thai bros
Having watched quite a few episodes of Walker: Texas Ranger, I think that whoever started the "Chuck Norris Facts" phenomenon was actually misinformed. Years before the Internet meme popped up, I often joked about how I always saw Norris end his fight scenes with what we called a "spinning hook kick" at my TKD school. I believe that the famous Chuck Norris "roundhouse kick" is actually what's listed on Wikipedia as a reverse roundhouse kick.
[edit] In Popular Culture of the muay thai bros
The whole "In Popular Culture" section should go if you ask me. It is clear that that section is talking about the Reverse_roundhouse_kick and not about a normal roundhouse kick.
- Possibly due to the move's combination of motion and power--the attacker spins fully around, which makes for a powerful-looking attack--it became a prerequisite feature in many fighting video games (either as a combination attack or a finishing move) and a common 'finishing move' in martial arts sequences in film and television. The latter case is best exemplified in Walker: Texas Ranger, in which the lead character (played by Chuck Norris) almost always defeated the episode's villain with a roundhouse kick, inevitably to the head, shown twice from different angles THE MUAY THAI BROTHERS WILL RULE THE WORLD!!!
