Aren't groin strikes legal in traditional Muay Thai? (in Thailand)

 

Not today, I dont think..back in the day they used to ...but MT has become more sport oriented than when it was created.

I don't see to may Krav Maga practitioners in the ring so Muy Thai for ring and Krav Maga for street hands down.

I would say since KM specializes in street self defence it would usually be more effective. (It depends on how you are attacked). Now if you take the Krav Maga classes that are marketed for weight loss you would be putting yourself in a disadvatage.

 

In a NHB match, I do not believe either would be very effective without some serious cross-training. But I think MT would be a better starting point as it is a competition based art.

On the streets, Krav Maga. In the ring (with no rules) Krav Maga (with rules, Muay thai)!.

 

Muay thai is all about rules, Krav Maga is not!!.

 

Sport for sport and street for street....

 

You can't compete in the streets..... you loose!!!!

If the first lesson was a failure, then you know that skydiving isn't for you!

If you took any cadio class you would be at a disadvantage..alot of KM shools offer Seperate Cardio classes...they are not designed to teach you how to defnd yourself.

This is a complex question, cause sure Muay Thai is a sport with limited rules, and Krav Maga is designed for street-defense/urban warfare, BUT if you have a Thai fighter with a record of 20, 30, 40+ fights in the ring (which most do) you best believe the Thai fighter is gonna send you to the hospital and will have the advantage. Take Boxing, yes it's a sport but who honestly here or in a bar has the skill and fighting experience to take on Roy Jones Jr. in bare-knuckle street fight? Now of course the reality of weapons comes into play in a street fight and Krav Maga practitioners obviously have the advantage here since there training includes weapons defense and multiply attackers. IMO if the street fight includes weapons and multiple opponents then the Krav Maga practitioner is better prepared without a doubt!!! Yet in a street fight having fighting experience (ability to take a hit or multiply hits, ability to fight hurt, in pain and take punishment) is important and this is where Muay Thai has the advantage. In NHB, Muay Thai has proven it's self to be the most effective striking style period and Krav Maga is NOT designed for the ring. Overall each has it's advantages and as a result the best formula is to cross-train!!!
