I'm a black belt in Taekwondo and that looks like a poorly executed front snap kick too me. Why is he calling that a roundhouse kick?

i don't need to, your just making things up, that much is obvious, you were claiming 4 years of aikido, then dropped the claim when it became clear you had no understanding at all.Produce the statement.

now your claiming a black belt in TKD, which will also evaporate when some of the people with black belts in TKD challenge your statements, Then you'll move on to another wild claim to get attention
I suppose you could call it a round kick, as its not in any other category. But if i remember right (i haven't done TKD in a while) It doesnt look like a round kick to me. And i still do a very bad one based on TKD. I never properly learnt it and forgot it.
and i dont think it looks like how people do them either.
You sure have a lot to say about every single system out there. You've made Big claims About hapkido, aikido, bjj, wrestling and now taekwondo. I wonder how many of these things you've ever actually trained inEven as a sport kick it looks totally wrong. Functional or not, I would not call that a round kick. I stand by by my original assertion that it's a misguided front kick.
Oh don't forget he can do hip throws with 0 training on how to do themi don't need to, your just making things up, that much is obvious, you were claiming 4 years of aikido, then dropped the claim when it became clear you had no understanding at all.

and literally as i got to that bit he says turning and round are different kicks.

Dollyo chagi IS the turning kick first of all. They are synonymous terms.
The second kick he demonstrates, which is correctly executed, is a turning kick/dolyo chagi.
First one is not a turning kick. I don't know what to call it but it's not that.
It does turn though. It is just a really short turn.
It will make my day if a TaeKwondo instructor worth his salt approves of that as a roundhouse kick.

I have trained TKD for roughly 50 years. I have rank from the KKW, the ITF, and the Moo Duk Kwan. He appears to be a 1st Dan in an ITF branch.

I approve of his kick.
Your snapshot is blurry and doesn't show your entire body, but from what I can make out, you're leaning waaaayyyyy too far for a kick that appears to be no more than waist high. Your foot position looks off too. I'd say your technique looks about like what I expect from one of our green belts. Again, it's a crappy snapshot, and obviously a focused video would allow us to better rate your kick.
Even a snapshot like this, that shows the entire body and is reasonably clear would help. This is one of our students, a 1st Dan, executing a roundhouse. He's leaning as far as you are, but his kick is head high.

The turning kick as taught by ITF schools is not the same as the roundhouse as taught by KKW schools. The angled version is used primarily for lower kicks. It is faster, and can slip between the guard and the ribs at times when a kick coming in parallel to the ground will only hit their guard.
