In my personal experience, I attempt to block with the forearm. The shin bone is stronger and can blocking with the forearm is pretty painful. When I said that "it's all your shin bone", I was just referring to how much that hurts when you block it with the forearm. Since I have a bad habit of trying to always block with my forearms, I end up fearing this kick the most. Again, just my personal experience.

Ideally your forearm shouldn't be taking that much impact, more directing the kicking away than stopping it dead. Learnt that the hard way after breaking my ulna....

The stepping behind Bruce Lee style side kick can hit extremely hard, but few people will let you get away with that.

I've landed a few of them, but only on people who were quite a bit bigger than me. Not a one went flying through the wall.

I vote for a strong back-kick.

For me, those have been the hardest hitting kicks.

Capoeira has some of the strongest kicks due to the amount of momentum thrown behind them - they look cool but they are totally impractical and have very low percentage chances of successfully landing in a real fight. Not exactly scientific journal worthy but here is a Capoeira low kick on Fight Science vs some other styles:

You won't find many Capoeira knockout kicks online which shows just how low percentage they actually are but here is a good one:

For me I think the strongest kick I can throw is a 360 kick, but **** if I can aim it. Other than that I would say a good jumpside/stoppage kick tends to have good follow through for power. Unfortunately most strong kicks are also heavily telegraphed.

My strongest kick (Force wise) is definitely a back kick/turning sidekick.

Also, I think it's worth noting that on the Fight Science video the TKD guy's roundhouse hit harder than the Capoeria guy's, and TKD is not typically known for it's power.
