HanSword Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 I agree , that's why I think sanda is kind of out on a limb , and KB with throws only , comprimises the strikes. throwing w/o following up on the ground is somewhat a waste of time.

1kickKO Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 ..and grappling, but I think that gets put in the category of throws as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravenzoom Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 Muay Thai quite possibly has the best strikes. However, like some have pointed out without crosstraining it has weaknesses such as throws and ground techniques. What happens if a pure Muay Thai fighter fights a wrestler, a BJJ or Judo practioner which takes him down to the ground. His chances are pretty much over. Remember, I said IF he gets taken to the ground by a grappler. Another point, I don't think it is a dominant style, I believe the training that they have is what makes them sucessful, not the style. Mas Oyama Went and kicked some butt. If someone decided to train hardcore in some sort of Kung Fu, Karate, you name it, he would be as much a lethal weapon as a Muay Thai practitioner if not moreso.

IMO, you should be able to walk into ANY school for a given style and receive such training. If only certain schools or certain students do it, then IMO, the style is flawed, as hard training is not part of it normal curriculum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerHeart Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 If those Muay Thai fighters, I've seen in thailand, praticed more groundfighting I bet they could take every MA'ist...

username9 Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 I have read a few bits about Muay Thai and watched some documentaries on this style - It is very dominant. It is also a much more rounded style than many peolple believe. Look into this style more and you find such a rich background to it and with the support of the "sister style" Muay Boran, which deals with grappling, there is a very close to complete fighting system! Read some of the interviews conducted with Master Sken - they are quite interesting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
