bushido_man96 Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Cool info. It doesn't look like kicks really score more than punches, or knees or elbows. Just dominating and counterattacking.

Karateka_latino Posted November 30, 2006 Author Share Posted November 30, 2006 Yes. But also, you have to think. If you are scoring a muay thai bout, one fighter is using more boxing and the other is trying to use his muay thai. One scored more with punches while the other scored with leg kicks, knees, etc.. Who do you think is going to take the round. Even with the fact that the "boxer" scored more punches, he won't be scored much since he's just relaying in boxing techniques.

bushido_man96 Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 You make a good point. The fighters could just make it easy on me, and knock one or the other out! https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knuckle Dragger Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Also two things to remember about Muay Thai is that (certainly in Thailand) eversince the adaptation of boxing gloves punches have been scored less than other techniques because the old timers of the art thought it was a wimpy thing to do. If you look at the punches used in competition they are all power oriented. The reason being is that you will not get much points for punches but if you knock out you opponent with a punch they cannot argue about it.Another thing to remember is that there is an aggression rule in true Muay Thai. The reason is that the strikeing defence of Muay Thai is extremely effective and highly under used. A well trained Muay Thai fighter could effectively block punches and counter strike off them and win most fights this way. Muay Thai fans do not want to see this so if a fighter is not aggressive enough and attack often enough he will either be disqualified or lose on points. Just some useless information that sticks in my mind. Hope it was interesting Victory or a reasonable alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushido_man96 Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 Olympic style TKD has a similar rule, but it is used when it comes down to a tie in points. The more aggresive fighter will get the decision. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karateka_latino Posted December 8, 2006 Author Share Posted December 8, 2006 Oh, I've been told that old timers punish really hard the fighters that behave like clowns doing showmanship antics and "karate-kid" stances. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
