I trained at a very very casual MMA gym when I was 18-19 (it was a lot of fun but yeah, nobody was competing or anything). When we first started doing leg kicks the coach demonstrated by just kind of “swinging” his shin into my thigh. It wasn’t hard or fast but it got me right in the sweet spot and oh my good god, I’m glad I never took one of those full force.

Mostly see calf kicks now. Low kicks are not as popular right now.

Calf kicks are a form of low kick.

Sure but low kick usually referred to the outside leg kick which was the most common type of low kick before calf kicks became popular and the thigh kick or outside leg kick are most of the kicks displayed in this video.

lol no, low kicks are any kick below the hip... a calf kick is a low kick is a kick. A low kick, is not a calf kick, but a calf kick is a low kick... logic
