I never was a fan of the side kick. Never was good with it.

Straight punches.
Punch in straight lines. I guarantee you'll deliver more hits to the target when you do this.
Kung Fu is good for you.
No, not a spinning kick. We fight out of a left-leg forward stance. So it's a Right Leg sidekick. Generally, it's my least favorite kick, but I just like them to train it for symmetry.
I do teach the spinning side kick, also, though.
I generally teach my students to use Lead Leg Push Kick, Lead Leg Sidekick, Rear Leg Roundhouse, and Rear Leg Spinning Back kick for the majority of their kicking attacks.

It's not for everyone. It takes longer to develop for some people and some have a hard time getting power with it. Others come more naturally to it and can really rock the pads/bags with it. I can tell you from experience though, a well placed lead hook will drop someone as fast as a high round kick.

a good hook kick can rock ur world: I once got nailed in the back of the head as I lunged in with a straight lead - guy leaned back and unloaded it, knocked my mouth piece out and when he asked me if I was ok, I replied, "yewth Im fwineth"...
its not about fancy new techniques and gimmicks, its about avoiding rythm, breaking rythm. once you start doing 1-2 1-2s your opponent will time it and set up a knockout. in northern kung fu rythm is number one forbidden habit.
thats why its so dangerous to fight muay thai guys by their own rules. once they get comfortable and set up rythm ur finished.
