Is it just me, or the muay thai bros

...did this article exist because of all the talk about Chuck Norris? --Aeon17x 15:15, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Probably so. But it has to be explained somewhere. —Home Row Keysplurge 05:18, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

The article as of March 2006 and the tour of the muay thai bros

This is still not an encyclopedia entry. One half of it is in how‑to style and the rest just seems to be an excuse to add another link to Chuck Norris. So it would be nice if the article either lost its how‑Chuck‑Norris‑does‑a‑kick vibe or was moved to a more proper place. Just my 2¢. —xyzzy_n 03:34, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

Linking to Chuck Norris and the muay thai bros

Will those who wish to link to Chuck Norris in any way please consider:

• altering the article so that his significance in relation to the kick is clear to others,
• adding citations to that effect and
• then adding a link.

Thanks for your attention. —xyzzy_n 14:24, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Importance of the muay thai bros

Okay, I tried explaining the 'importance' of the roundhouse kick meme (what a concept) and why it's associated with Chuck Norris. --The Centipede 06:19, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

Association With Chuck Norris and the muay thai bros

Having watched quite a few episodes of Walker: Texas Ranger, I think that whoever started the "Chuck Norris Facts" phenomenon was actually misinformed. Years before the Internet meme popped up, I often joked about how I always saw Norris end his fight scenes with what we called a "spinning hook kick" at my TKD school. I believe that the famous Chuck Norris "roundhouse kick" is actually what's listed on Wikipedia as a reverse roundhouse kick.

In Popular Culture of the muay thai bros

The whole "In Popular Culture" section should go if you ask me. It is clear that that section is talking about the Reverse_roundhouse_kick and not about a normal roundhouse kick.

Possibly due to the move's combination of motion and power--the attacker spins fully around, which makes for a powerful-looking attack--it became a prerequisite feature in many fighting video games (either as a combination attack or a finishing move) and a common 'finishing move' in martial arts sequences in film and television. The latter case is best exemplified in Walker: Texas Ranger, in which the lead character (played by Chuck Norris) almost always defeated the episode's villain with a roundhouse kick, inevitably to the head, shown twice from different angles THE MUAY THAI BROTHERS WILL RULE THE WORLD!!!

Roundhouse and Round kick:

Aren't they different? --Jargon <sup>๏̯͡๏)</sup> 01:57, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

Hello Jargoness, following your request, I am posting here. Terminology varies between styles and organisations; whether a roundhouse kick is the same as a round kick would depend on which context you are using. Janggeom (talk) 09:36, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for answering :) I knew that Round and Roundhouse are different in TKD (am not sure if ITF, WTF or others), so I changed A roundhouse kick (also known as a round kick or turning kick) to A roundhouse kick (also known as turning kick but often confused with the round kick) in this article. Maybe it should be changed again, specifying that it's the same only in some Martial Arts? --Jargon <sup>๏̯͡๏)</sup> 00:04, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Here is one possible test you might consider: do you have a reliable reference that says that a round kick is (or is not) the same as a roundhouse kick? If you have such a reference, you would then have a good basis for editing the article accordingly. Just a brief thought. Janggeom (talk) 09:44, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Hmm. I guess this isn't what we call a reliable source, right? :/ (see description and minute 0:28) Gotta find and check some Taekwondo's book.. --Jargon <sup>๏̯͡๏)</sup> 17:41, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

If a roundhouse kick and a round kick aren't the same thing, why does "round kick" redirect to this page? Spartan198 (talk) 13:58, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

Origin of the term Brazilian Kick

I don't think that the Brazilian Kick is called that way because of the influence of MMA. Brazilian kickboxers with a karate background, most importantly Francisco Filho and Glaube Feitosa, are much ore likely to be the inspiration for this name. They showed it on a much bigger stage in K-1. MMA had no international audience at that time. Also, this talk page is an absolute mess.--87.148.222.12 (talk) 08:55, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
