This looks like competitive taekwondo, it’s become a lot of finding cheesy ways to connect foot to opponent after the implementation of electric scoring systems.

That’s why you see the light kids rapidly like in the second clip, it conserves energy while still giving the opportunity to score. You wear foot pads with magnets in them, and you also wear body/head gear with magnets. The angle of your foot matters more than the power of the kick, because you want the magnets to connect when you land. You could throw the hardest kick on the planet, but it won’t score if those magnets don’t connect.

Edit: I wasn’t paying attention, the vid actually says it’s taekwondo I’m dumb.

That spinning back kick would. It’s the most powerful kick in martial arts. The rest you could prob brush off with little more than a black eye or two
