Muay Thai and Kick Boxing
This question is existing for quite a while and there are so many times that the person who asked and got the different answers. So it is not surprise me at all why this question still be asked. This is because there are so many different answers around this issue. Some of them answered by kick boxing professional who somehow do not know much about Muay Thai, and some of the answered given by Muay Thai professional not kick boxing expert. However, the definition of these two martial arts are quite clear and concise.
Muay thai is almost completely from the kick boxing. The most distinct characteristics of Muay Thai is using elbow, knees, shins to attack, meanwhile kick boxing art is a combination of Judo and boxing. Sometimes many people call Muay Thai as “Thai Boxing” or “Thai Kick Boxing” which is quite annoy me sometimes because, as being Thai, I can say that Muay Thai has only one word to call, it’s unique with no other combination. However, I think those people can not be blamed because they just called base on their information and experience. So if you are the person who is learning Muay Thai, you will see how Muay Thai is unique and seems no other martial arts can be mixed.
