Do they even throw hook kicks in San Da? I thought it was like MT.

Uhm, no.

I look at few San Da videos. Definitely not like MT. Plenty of side kicks. Yet to see a hook kick. The only thing I saw close to a hook kick was a few take down attempts.

Bullwhip, clearly you don't know TKD. That was all TKD style kicking as I learned it. Semi chambered round kicks, hook kicks, all the jump spin stuff. Same kind of footwork...
So... yeah. Very very nice looking TKD style kicking. Not the kind you use in point sparring, the kind you use when you actually would like to hit someone.

I put another video under grappling stretches video. Unbelievable kicks.
Kintanon,
I guess it's more individual, rather then style. I am sure there are better shotokan kicker, then TKD kickers. And better karate punchers, then boxing punches. I mean individually, not as a group.

I am sorry, bro. I don't understand what you are saying? Real TKD doesn't use jump, spinning kicks?

Even "Real" TKD tends to use jump spin kicks. It's just part of what makes TKD what it is. But that guys kicks were all TKD kicks in style and execution.
