I dont think thai fighting is dirty but do you think the average guy would. A lot of people have problems adjusting to seeing people use knees and elbows in the ring. What do you think?

These days, I don't think people see the use of elbows and knees as dirty. There used to be a time where a regular kick was considered dirty. I'm glad we are getting past those ancient/traditional ways of fighting and realizing that in a real fight, there are no rules.

I have had the privalige to see a muay Thai match in Thailand firsthand...awsome. I think it would be very popular over here in the USA, but it would require a little bit more extreme peeps to participate cuz elbows, headbutts, and all that good stuff will be used.

 

Hasta!!

I think the intructors must teach them because the use of elbows, knees and headbutt are part of the Thai boxing are.. But using them in a regular Gym sparring for most people isn't good.. because they can't show to work next day with a cut on there faces or huge body aches. Elbows used right are like very sharped knifes, cut very easily.. Knees can break ribs quickly.. and Headbutt are even worse..

Muay Thai is pretty hardcore....the average professional fighter in Thailand starts his career at 14 years old, and he's done by the time he is 21....thats a testament to the brutality of "Real" Muay Thai.

 

The fighters in Thailand train EXACTLY how they would fight in the ring....thats the only way to prepare for the actual fight in the ring. These guys have of the most awsome power I have ever seen....take a leg kick by one of these guys, and you'll be in a wheelchair for the rest of your life.

 

Hasta!!

again headbutts are not legal in muaythai.not in thailand or anywhere else. they might have them in the thai v.s. burmese fights but not in the stadiums.

 

the thais actually start earlier in life in training and although a few may have their careers end when they r 21 it's not do to injuries.their shelf life depends on their ability and the fans. if they run their course in thailand, then they will fought outside thailand for many more years.most fighters have fights into the hundreds, even if you fought every 3 weeks you would still have to fight 8 years to have 128 fights.so the myth of their short careers due to crippling injuries is just that a myth.

 

and you won't see alot of leg kicking in thailand.
