A roundhouse isn't a Muay Thai technique. Some use it, but that's only in so called tourist arenas where showing off is more important than anything to please the drunken crowd. A real trainer would slap you in the head with his pads whenever you try to spin. You don't spin in Muay Thai fights, it makes you bewildered and vulnerable to a variation of dangerous elbow strikes. A wheel kick is fine tho, as long as you get back the same way to unleashed the kick. Sicko is a counter attacking fighter just waiting for his opponent to do something stupid like a roundhouse or the predictable right hook after a double jab.
The MT roundhouse is one of the two basic kicks in Muay Thai, other than the push kick (teep). There's multiple ways to throw the roundhouse, but it's still called a roundhouse. It only leaves you "bewildered" if you don't control your hands, because your hands follow your body: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3Xzp1Wm-M4
I'm not sure why you're saying it's not a "muay thai" technique -- they perfected it over the Korean and Japanese ways of throwing it.
I can't believe you're actually condoning the use of a wheel kick (spinning heel kick), as most people can't throw the damn thing with any kind of power or speed.
But at the end of the day, I take BJJ, Muay Thai and Boxing as seperate disciplines, but I fight in an Octagon, so I'm not pure to any of the styles. Let's move the chat from Kol's thread to mine: http://subliminal-talk.com/thread-8537-page-5.html
