Kicking, how much do you know of it?

I'm looking for a martial combat that focuses on damaging, can be lethal kicks, does anyone know any?

I need exact names, not some combat maneuver in some place somewhere.

Update:

@Alec: Krav Maga barely focuses low-risk kicks, not deadly or lethal.

Shaolin is a very wide martial arts with hundreds of different styles.

Specify, please.

Update 2:

@Barney: Tae bo is not, nor ever was, meant for combat or self-defense applications.

Update 3:

@ David: So far, the best available. They actually seem quite interesting compared to the first 3 mentioned.

Update 4:

@ Marky: Interesting, very interesting. You have a game up on David because Muai Thai has the highest recorded power on kicking in martial arts: 4.4 kN. I must say, you have the lead at the moment.

    You are looking for Arts that focus on damaging or deadly kicks? Well there are arts like Chung Do Kwan, Jidokwan, Oh Do Kwan, Moo Duk Kwan, Tang Soo Do that come to mind. Most of the true non sport forms of Tae Kwon Do focus more on kicks and I guarantee they are deadly. Most true martial arts will have kicks that are designed to maim or kill, although kicking will not be the main focus.

    I have to agree Tae Bo is not a martial art by any stretch. Billy Blanks was never that great but he is a sell out. Not the worst mind you, at least he doesn't market his crap as anything but exercise.

    Karate is pretty much the attack division of martial arts

    but for a defense/attack, basically using your opponets attacks against you I would look into

    Krav-Maga

    I personally do Shao-Lin and i love it
