Edson Barboza has trained in capoeira (like a good 80-90% of Brazilian fighters lol) but his base art is no doubt muay Thai. His years in capoeira may have helped him hone the speed, timing, and flexibility to nail that kick but the kick is without a doubt a MUAY THAI KICK. It’s called CHORAKE FAD HANG which is Thai for “Crocadile Whips Its Tail”. All the tkd fanboys claiming ownership as if their art is the only martial art with spinning kicks is soooo hilarious. It’s muay Thai, people! Look it up! Youtube or google it!

Idk why the other guy said capoeira, but I affirm to it because my trainer had trained with him at the ABADA-Capoeira Academy in Rio de Janeiro.

@halo666

I’d be willing to bet just about every martial art that has a focus on kicking teaches that kick. I’m sure capoeira has it, but from training tae kwon do i can definitely tell you that it’s a tkd kick. I’ve also heard it called a back swing kick in tkd, as well.

I’m not ready to call that the knockout of the decade, but that was beautifully executed.
