yes there is limitations in mauy thai, as you obviously know them could you please share them with us all and we will compare them with the limitations of karate?

 

the main limitation is you stick to pure mauy thai i supose is no ground work, but most schools teach bjj basics/vale tudo etc. along with thai.

In my opinion besides ground fighting techniques some thai fighters tend to ignore their punching basics. Some fighters tend to reach or overextend their punches. I seems to me that because of the many weapons(elbows knees etc) a number a schools overlook the effectiveness of simple punches(jab cross hook)

 

 

yes I agree, for that reason I found a school that teaches boxing as well.
