I saw some pretty wierd replies to these posts about Muay Thai vs. Kickboxing. First of all, understand the difference. Muay Thai is not a sport, its a way of life, combining the spiritual and physical world. To many people in Thailand, it is their life. If you've ever seen a Thai fight, they perform rituals before the fight itself. Ex. Wai Khru. Kickboxing, on the other hand, is a sport, just like baseball or basketball. The physical difference of course are the knees, elbows, and grapples that Muay Thai has, which kickboxing doesnt include. But to ask, who would win a fight...Muay Thai vs. Kickboxer is a very stupid question. Because your comparing somebody who fights for their life, to somebody who fights as a hobby. There is no doubt that the Muay Thai fighter would win, taking in that both are similarly experienced and trained. If you think otherwise, then your a buffoon. Its as simple as that. Id like to hear any comments. Peace, in the middle east.
