You can not learn a style from watching a vid, but an experienced martial artist CAN learn a single kick. So I learn TKD kicks and use them in my Muay Thai training. It is a good combo, most MT guys dont know what the fuck is coming when sparring.
Cool! Didn't watch the whole video but yeah. The back kick is quite a good kick when sparring Muay Thai.

Check out how this guy uses it. It's Serkan Yilmaz. A Taekwondo fighter that fights K-1. My favourite fighter in the K-1 is Buakaw... but this guy definitely has style... and that counts for a lot in my book
