08Front snap kick
Knee up, foot out, knee back
The shin swing
10Ground-level tracking shot at an open-air Muay Thai camp during a rainstorm, a Thai fighter with a braided cord headband throws a single rear roundhouse kick into a heavy bag, cinematic, the camera sliding low and slow. 0–2s: the camera glides past puddles toward him as he steps out at an angle, arms up. 2–4s: he pivots on the ball of his standing foot, his right arm swinging down. 4–6s: in slow motion his shin whips around and buries into the bag, a burst of rainwater exploding off the leather. 6–8s: at real speed the leg swings through and he resets, rain streaming off his shoulders. Throughout: full body in frame, rain lit by hard backlight, corrugated tin roof dripping, palm trees beyond.
The Muay Thai roundhouse is a full-body swing, not a snap. The pivot and the counter-swinging arm sell it.
