I like American Kick boxing because they make you spar intensely. I think a big misconception in martial arts training is that a person who hits a bag and hits it hard is a lethal weapon. Learning to feel the pain of being punched, kicked, pushed and dealing with fears and keeping composure while under attack is a necessity before the person can proudly say he can apply techniques.

You know nothing of muay thai. American kickboxers spar intensely??? Jesus, bro, you needs to be schooled. I'm not going to lie, I'm going to be as blunt as possible, American kickboxing is crap...and generally practiced by mullet-having, american-flag-wearing, yokel mo-fos who couldn't fight their own fat asses out of a wet paper bag. I'd be more concerned by an elderly old lady going through tai chi movements, than by some silly redneck who tried to front me with some silly ass stance. The only thing an "american" style kickboxer has on his side is, and this is very unlikely, good western boxing...what I'm saying is;
boxing good, Thai boxing is hard-core, and "american kickboxing" is for flag wearing, glass-closet hiding, latent homosexual rednecks who picked up a martial art in the first place to try and get some tough guy points...much like the Napoleon Dynamite fool.
So...yeah...gets a clue, you nay-saying, ignorant-ass, perpetratin' punk.
