TKD vs Muay Thai aka tomoi

Sunday, February 24th, 2008

I picked this video not because I want to show which martial art is better than the other, because I know that each type of martial ast has its own unique characteristics and advantage in specific circumstance. But I chose this one because I want to show you how Muay Thai could benefit to yourself not in terms of fight for competition, but for the martial art. When you are having specific situation that have to protect yourself from street guy who may use some kind of martial are also. This video demonstrated the basic but effective Muay Thai strategy for martial arts. You can see that the TKD guy could not even make a single hurt to Muay Thai fighter because he was under controlled by kicks and foot thrust. The other reason of why the TKD kicks seemed have less power than MT kicks. I personally believe that TKD kicks were not losing power but it’s due to the fitness of Muay Thai fighter. Muay Thai is not only give people skills of martial art, but also fitness and toughness of the body so that’s why TKD kicks seemed useless this time.
