Bas Rutten did it this time! A while ago Sport Science they tested a Muay Tai knee strike ( which was more powerful then the Karate and Kung Fu kicks). The numbers were off the charts. It was equivalent to a 35 mph car crash and pushed the chest in about 1.5 in. Yesterday on Sports Science Bas Rutten gave a kick so hard that the guy that was giving the test made him do it again because the numbers were too high. Bas Rutten pushed the chest in 2.7 in(and created heart trauma) with a classic round house shin kick. Its proves the MMA kick is superior.

Superior to what?
MMA isnt a style!
Its an application.

Your Kind of right. MMA does not have to be a style to be superior. The work out Bas does to strengthen his legs for wrestling and Jiu Jitsu plus the technique of the other styles he had to learn all put together has made his kick superior.
