Fundamentally speaking, the value of middle and high kicks in both Muay Thai and Muay Boran cannot be understated. From outsiders, these two basic kicks seems simple enough. Yet those who are not well versed in the intricacies of Muay Thai round kicks may be missing these power strikes. For middle or body kicks, the target is the ribs or kidney area. If applied with the right force and with enough repetition, your opponent would either experience a debilitating pain or broken ribs. For high or head kicks, the target is the head area. This kick, although is often blocked, is not always the target. The arm blocking will break if the kick is delivered with the right force. And , obviously a head kick could render your opponent unconscious.
In any case, these two kicks are foundations that must always be practiced. To be comfortable to throw round kicks consistently, one must train them non-stop. But with the idea that tweaks need to be made in order to optimize its effectiveness.
