There are also high roundhouse kicks, and half height, as well as other kicks: the front, descending, descending the oblique, in turn kicks, front kicks and hook, but several of these are very dramatic but ineffective in combat because they are complicated and allow the opponent the lace, block, dodge or deflect, so often seen in the later rounds if knocked out or "knock out" KO is no longer possible, in order to win points.
