For the un-initiated, a low/leg kick refers to a popular technique found in badass martial arts like Muay Thai and Kyokushin karate, where by a person explosively rotates or steps through on their support leg, while driving the shin of their kicking leg into the thigh or knee joint of the target.
Properly executed, this delivers hundreds of pounds of force, and consequently HURTS LIKE FUCK.
It's not uncommon for full power leg kicks to deal broken/fractured bones, or severe deep tissue damage that can take weeks to heal and regain proper function in the leg (The latter is usually from repeated kicks though, such that may happen over the course of entire fight)
That was not a lowkick...
He was faking it. Like your girlfriend in the bed.

Yes it was.
other leg :D
I can take it.

As you said, you spin on the supporting foot to deliver a low kick. All it was was a kick that hit on the lower body. He needs to have rotational momentum in order to really call it a low kick.

No.
There are two main schools of thought for the low kick, or kicking in general. You can break these down to the Thai method, and the Japanese method.
The Thai method, which of course originates from Muay Thai, is the most commonly taught one where yes, you rotate on the ball of the support foot. Ideally you should have enough momentum that if you miss you would be spun right round.
The Japanese method arguably originates from Kyokushin karate, in which unlike the Thai method, you don't spin on the ball of the support foot, but rather step out on an angle and then whip the kicking leg into the target. The immediately noticeable difference here is the chambering of the kicking leg.

Butt uhh there's nothing wrong with that dude's technique.
Dumb guy A kicks dumb guy B in the thigh, dumb guy B is hurt.
I want my 16 seconds back.

Those same 16 seconds you wasted posting that when you could have gone to another thread?

Wasn't that widely known already?
I love these kicks. I fight with my right foot forward, which means they're very useful for me - I do a quick spin and load my right back, then unleash hell.
I can feel it through thick pads. It hurts.
