You probably don't kick as hard as you think you doThat's what I wonder too.. Why isn't his arms messed up? Is he conditioned perhaps? I almost shed a tear from the pain because I did not know he would block that way, so I just threw a body kick hard as I could.
Or he's been at this for awhile and did what most do when dealing with kicks: move off the line so the blunt of the force is lost significantly.
Or you broke the kick into steps instead of how a MT kick should be, causibg you to losing torque and momentum
Even if you kick with the shin, but its the traditional tkd/karate chamber snap, It still doesn't have the power behind it despite a stronger part of the limb.
