I really like the versatility of the plain ol' round kick.

Ah, yes: Hi or low, angled or traditional, in the clinch or apart. It does have many uses.

I like how a front leg side kick lets me control the tempo so i can fallow up with a round kick or two...or three...(voted side kick for its mix of power and speed)

I personally think a well executed axe kick, especially against an opponent, is an awesome sight to behold. Brings a smile to my face, especially when told "Taekwondo techniques don't work." Tell that to the guy laying there. :D

The tornado tends to one of many in a series, which means it doesn't stick out as much. Yes, it looks nice, but is not used as a finishing kick very often. The axe kick tends to be used by itself, and is often the last thing a fighter sees before he hits the floor. In other words, I've seen many fighters use an axe kick as the opponent comes in, and that's it. The fighter goes down.
