Listen, I love Muay Thai you love sanshou so there you go. You are hardly going to admit that Sanshou and almost all other standup fighting ring sports are not like Muay Thai, they "try" to be like Muay Thai but you are hardly going to admit that, just like I am hardly going to accept what someone says about Muay Thai when they really dont know much about it, its origins or the actual fighting system.
Muay Thai is a sport which derives from one of the most effective martial fighting systems ever concieved! The techniques which you see in the Muay Thai arena are simply taken from the martial system Krabi-krabong, Krabi-Krabong has the same techniques you see implemented in the Muay Thai arena but more! Krabi-Krabong is still taught to the Thai army and its still so effective to this day that there really isnt any need to change anything because of modernisation, a gun is probably the worst enemy of Krabi-krabong.
Traditionalism in Muay Thai, there are no Katas, forms or any other strange mumbo jumbo that is part of so many martial arts, in Krabi-Krabong you obviously have to learn forms for the swords (I havnt trained Krabi-Krabong but I have had a little experience with Muay Chao Cheurk) To be honest I think the Thai martial arts are the ultimate in hand to hand combat, apparently Thailand is the only southeast Asian country never to have
been taken over by a European power. Also the surrounding countries had a bloody hard time fighting the Thais even the Chinese! why? because of their fighting system of course.
Muay Thai history speaks for itself, even UFC cant be compared with Muay Thai as UFC has been around for what? 10 years! The first 10 years of Muay Thai was a hell of a lot more bloodier than any UFC fight so take that into consideration. I think the ultimate ring sport label should, and very rightly so, go to Muay Thai. Muay Thai IS, whether you agree or not, the toughest ring sport on earth. You must stand and fight! |
I agree 100%,funny thing is you are contradicting what you said in another thread.
Here you are saying that Muay Thai is more bloodier then UFC and you also state that it is the toughest ring sport on earth,if this is true how can you disagree with me in another thread when I say Muay Thai is full contact ? In the other thread you said Muay Thai was only 50% contact.
Any martial arts that is only 50% contact cannot be considered the bloodiest or toughest ring sport so make up your mind is Muay Thai only 50% contact or not?
Personally I would say Muay Thai is full contact, because that is how we train and how our school competes in tournaments.
