i like the front kick, side kick, roundhouse kick mostly bc of their simplicity and i'm not giving up much defense when i use them.

for me, i think crescent kick is stupid bc it is so weak and slow compared to the others. even if it is used to set up other kicks, it just seems like a waste of energy. if i ever used my crescent kick on someone, i'm pretty sure they would just laugh and shake it off. i never did an axe kick before, but i can't imagine it being very powerful either.

Axe kick is good now and then (ie, when they're really not expecting it). I prefer using it when they're down, but it can work on a standing opponent too
Personally, I like the roundhouse kick, then the front kick, anything else is something that only comes out when the situation permits. I've never had much luck with side kicks; I've always found their power to be greatly overrated compared to how much you open yourself up when you throw them. Spinning back kick is great whenever you can work it in though

The most important kick IMO is the leg kick.

Depends on your experience and amount of training. off the bat leg kicks are without a doubt the most important.

Leg kicks are definately important but a nicely timed out head kick can end the fight instantly.

Leg Kicks are def. the most important they can judge distance and they hurt too. Nobody EVER expects leg kicks in a street fight.

The fucke dup thing is that a roundhouse means too many different things.

I always liked a surprise back spin kick.

Everything works off the low kick to start. But other effective kicks I like are the leading roundhouse and the front kicks.

Just the basic kicks they use in Muaythai.

I would suggest any beginner to learn the basic kicks properly.

Also the best to score and to destroy your opponent.

If you are more advanced, you can ad some more fancy kicks into too.
