Martial Arts that have no katas


Recommended Posts

if ur looking for something without katas then boxing or kickboxing would definitely be a good choice, muay thai is good also but the muay thai i take has katas

What kind of forms does your Muay Thai have? This is interesting, as I have not heard this before.

'''Ram Muay'''

Is this the form in 'Thai boxing ' that you were thinking about?

ram muay is technically considered a form but in muay thai it is a dance, the 2 katas i have learned are "griu guay" angry elephant, and "tha haan ngaao" soldiers spear.

the reason many have not heard of muay thai forms is because they are pretty much only taught in thailand, if u go to a muay thai school here in america its pretty much no different then a regular kickboxing school

my teacher was born and taught in thailand and is teaching me the ways he was taught hs name is pravat simalai

Nice to see your 'Thai instructor' is teaching the old ways as he was taught.

You are indeed a lucky person to find such a person

Zapatista, what are the striking arts offered around you? If you can take Muay Thai or western kickboxing, I'd recommend you start there. KB will be a fine complement to your BJJ or submission grappling.

Would you consider Kali/Arnis as no-form options, even though they are mainly weapons styles? I would consider them, at least from a weapons standpoint.

For some reason, I didn't think about them. Or JKD, for that matter.
