Is Muay Thai that dominant?

[SevenStar]

there are some differences, but there's plenty of crossover as well. you wouldn't have to forget EVERYTHING, I wouldn't think...

>>the training methods make the fighter.

 

I absolutely agree SS , but a lot of training method is determined by style .

 

I completely agree. However, within certain styles, different methods are used. In sport styles, it's fairly consistent. In TMA styles, that's not always the case. that's why I separate the two.

 

yes , that's right . this is why I am more drawn to and have greater respect for " sport styles " , because everything is transparent and open - it is fairly easy to define what methods it actually uses.

 

whereas with a lot of TMAs , as you have said , the methods can vary wildy even within the same would be style and so does the quality , since usually the " extra " curiculla stuff cannot be field tested as it is not allowed in their competition rules .

 

yet they try to be all things to all men . I'm sorry I don't understand that and I don't buy it either .

In terms of pure strikes, I believe Muay Thai has no rival, the only weakness of Muay Thai is the lack of throws that those San Shou guys have.
