Kickboxing vs. Muay Thai?

[47MartialMan]

we were told "the more noise on the thai pads u make, the less power and drive"

 

right. it should be more of a deep thud than a loud pop.

 

I agree. My bud in MT made those thuds...awesome sound...

hey noob i'm just new here but i read your message. you said your problem was multiple attackers right? i suggest you get some aikido. it focuses alot on multiple and even armed attackers.

First it is hard to compare muay thai to kickboxing because there is not a set standard for kickboxing, I know my schools kickboxing program focuses on self defense(stand up of course) before sport or exercise. Muay Thai is awsome, but remember alot of kickboxing schools are starting to include alot of muay thai techniques and training methods into their schools. So find a school that offers kickboxing that the instructors main focus is training you for stand up self defense before sport. I know a few schools that are big into training for ring sports and they leave alot of great techniques out of the training due to rules. Dont think kickboxing as hands and feet, think of it as legs and arms. And remember knees and elbows are part of our legs and arms.

So what are these 7 steps in MT, ive never heard of them before? Can somebody name them and explain them also, thanks

[Shane]

Are these 7 steps kind of like that 5 step technique in kill bill movie. Like maybe you kick some vital areas and then your attacker takes seven steps and their heart explodes.

I bet that's exactly what it is...

What about the "two-step"
