Whatever floats your boat There was one guy in thai boxing during the 90s, his high kicks were ugly as fuck, like sketchy, like really he looked like a giant retard most of the time while throwing them. But they were actually extremely effective. His name was peter aerts. Here on the second kick, you can see he opens his right foot at 2 o'clock almost 3, to shift to 4 (if not 5) right before/on impact https://youtu.be/kbWlq4yW3Vs?t=261 And that's not his ugliest kick lol
