Muay Thai vs Western Boxing

[Tom Yum]

given equal athletes, its highly unlikey a boxer would beat a muay thai fighter. The old days of Thai boxers not having good hands is gone. Muay thai schools now teach hand skills as a root system. I make my fighters do 1 month hands only and yes I was a boxer, have titles etc and am a certified boxing instructor, so that my fighters are getting solid hand skills. You would be hard pressed to find an instructor now adays that doesnt feel theat hand skills are worthy of trianing.
my 2 cents, you can keep the change!

Excellent. I agree with you. Fortunately, most of the instructors I've trained under have emphasized western boxing too.

hello,

loaded question.

by western boxing, what do you mean? do you mean the stuff they do on tv? oscardelahoya/floydmayweather?

or do you mean actual pugilism? these are two different things.

pugilists used knees to legs, used clinch, used elbows, used kicking.

as far as your question: who has better hands? well, neither. the individual techniques known by players of both styles are comparable. what makes the difference is how each player handles range.

majapahit fighters tend to use serious punching as a finishing method, whereas, european fighters tended to use punching to control position.

lastly... sagat vs balrog.... sagat!!

hello,

it is possible they refer to the pounds per square inch formula? in this case an elbow hits harder than a punch and a knee hits harder than a kick (this of course assumes everything is executed properly.....

still, wouldn't want to rely on them to the exclusion of the others.

thanks

Sure you do. All I do is a right chopping elbow. Nothing else. Somebody fucks with me, I just roll at them like a steam engine chopping away with my right elbow looking to split their head like a coconut.

Love the axe elbow. I like the hook elbows too. Perfect when you're face to face.

again, a joke based on a post.

the premise was statements about what would be preferrable to rely upon in a striking type fight.

and yes. we were talking elbows and knees. are we done explaining ourselves?
