TraditionalFighter Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 Lets not discard the best Kickboxer Jean-Yves ''Iceman" Theriault he is one fo the pionners of kickboxing. He had better boxing skills then your usual kickboxer. His fights with Don "the dragon" Wilson was legendary “The way you train is the way you’ll fight.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SevenStar Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 thai boxing allows use of knees and elbows - however, elbows aren't allowed in all states. some sanctions allow sweeps, although no points are given for them . They give an "advantage" to you, meaning that if the bout is a tie, you will win. different strategies. American rules kickboxing doesn't allow leg kicks ( international does though) obviously, this will alter strategy, as leg kicking is an integral part of muay thai different uses of kicks - you don't see many kicks other than the teep and roundhouse in muay thai. Once again, this is a strategic difference. those are a few you differences you'll notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
