Muay Thai's fierce traditionalism is keeping the art from evolving and growing. The MT fighters are great at what they do - I don't in any way want to criticize MT's effectiveness- just that the Thai attitude seems to be close-minded on learning new techniques (specifically grapping techniques to counter Sanda) so their art can be even more effective.
