MUAY THAI VS KICKBOXING
THE ENERGY EXPENDITURE IS VERY DIFFERENT , AS IN THE PACING OF THE FIGHT " .
" KICKBOXING "
IS PRACTICED FOR SELF-DEFENSE , GENERAL FITNESS , OR AS A CONTACT SPORT . JAPANESE KICKBOXING ORIGINATED IN THE LATE 1950s , WITH COMPETITIONS HELP SINCE THEN.
LITERALLY BOXING CONTAINS ONLY PUNCHES AND CLINCHES , BUT KICK BOXING CONTAINS KICKS , PUNCHES , CLINCHES AND SOME TIME GRAPPLING. THIS SPORT IS COMMONLY KNOWN MOST POPULAR SPORT TODAY . BUT IT NOT SO EASY TO LEARN . KID OR TEEN MUST BE SO STRONG AND HAVE A PRESENCE MIND ON IT TO MAKE IT POSSIBLE .
THERE ARE SOME TACTICS AND TECHNIQUES IN BOXING WHICH MAKE IT EASY TO LEARN AND FOR SELF DEFENSE . FIRST IS SPINNING KICKS , KICKS ARE FUNDAMENTAL PART OF FIGHT SO IT MUST BE IN USE , SUCH AS TORNADO KICKS , SPINNING HOOK KICK , 720 KICK ETC.
"MUAY THAI"
LITERALLY MUAY THAI IS OFTEN A FIGHTING ART OF ATTRITION , WHERE OPPONENTS EXCHANGE BLOWS WITH ONE ANOTHER . THIS IS CERTAINLY THE CASE WITH TRADITIONAL STYLISTS IN THAILAND , BUT IS A LESS POPULAR FORM OF FIGHTING IN THE CONTEMPORARY WORLD FIGHTING CIRCUIT WHERE THE THAI STYLE OF EXCHANGING BLOW FOR BLOW IS NO LONGER FAVORABLE.
ALMOST ALL TECHNIQUES IN MUAY THAI USE THE ENTIRE BODY MOVEMENT, ROTATING THE HIP WITH EACH KICK , PUNCH , ELBOW AND BLOCK .
THE TRADITIONAL MUAY THAI IS THE OLD STANCE, WHICH CONTAIN THE SPECIAL MOVE WHICH CALLED TRADITIONAL PLUM , OR LITERALLY THE THAI PLUM OR THAI CLINCH .
" TRADITIONAL MUAY THAI STANCE "
Defense – An excellent muay Thai stance in terms of
blocking with the legs, particularly the front leg. With very little
weight being placed on the front foot and the large angle that it points
at, it makes for extremely quick blocks left and right.
Attack – A Poor muay Thai stance in terms of attacking
ability due to the fighter needing to shift weight to the front leg to
move forward and launch the attack. The ability to explode forward is
largely lost as the back foot is planted and the knee is almost extended
to 180 degrees.
Mobility – Movement is often slow and the steps are
small. With the body being set to the rear with the front leg out ahead,
it’s difficult to get any real length in the step and almost impossible
to make quick movements forward.
Another short-coming of the traditional Thai stance is that the feet are close together which makes for a small, perhaps unstable base. Fighters using this stance may get pushed backwards and be forced to move the front leg to the rear to re-adjust.
" BALANCE (SQUARE) MUAY THAI STANCE "
Defense – A decent muay Thai stance for blocking kicks off of both legs with the weight being evenly distributed between left and right. However, if the feet are flat on the ground, the legs are more easily raised when compared to being on the balls of the feet.
Attack – Another decent grade for attacking techniques, with the advantage being given to the “heels up” method as it makes it easier to explode forward into an attack. The hips aren’t as forward-facing when using this stance as they are with the traditional Thai stance so strikes are generally more powerful.
Mobility – Movements to the left and right and forward and back are fairly easy. The fighter is able to take larger steps and make quicker movements using this stance than when using the traditional Thai stance. The body is positioned halfway between both feet making push-offs in both directions relatively easy.
Pros/cons | All-rounder
" BALANCE (NARROW) MUAY THAI STANCE "
Defense – We’re heading towards the attacking end of
the spectrum here so defence attributes are decreasing, although this
stance still provides adequate blocking abilities. The lead foot is
still pointing forwards so there are no issues with not being able to
open the hips for blocks to the left or to the right
Attack – Excellent attacking muay Thai stance which provides a very powerful base going forwards AND backwards. The angle of the back foot and the narrow width of the stance means the fighter can bounce back and forth at speed to generate powerful attacks.
Mobility – An extremely mobile stance for forward and
backward movements. The fighter is able to move in and out of range
quickly and safely. The superior ability to do this when compared with
the previous two stances makes this muay Thai stance a great option for
those who like to punch. Movement to the left and right is not quite so
easy
Pros | Great attacking muay Thai stance with awesome moblity.
Cons | Vulnerable to sweeps and being off balanced left and right.
THESE ARE THE STANCES OF MUAY THAI . EVERY ONE HAVE THEIR OWN ABILITY AND AGILITY . MUAY THAI IS DEVELOPED MARTIAL ART.IT CONTAINS ALMOST EVERY THING TO DO . LIKE ELBOWS STRIKE, KNEE STRIKE , DOWNWARD ELBOW, KNEE ON FACE, GRAPPLING , THROWING, SHOVING , CLINCHES (DOMINATE CLINCH , NEUTRAL CLINCH),
SPINNING KICKS , BLOCKS AND SPECIALLY IS LONG GUARD WHICH IS NOT IN A NORMAL KICKBOXING .
SO THEREFORE , KICKBOXING IS NORMAL AT ALL BUT MUAY THAI IS RARE AND SUPERIOR IN MANY WAYS. 70 % - MUAY THAI IS POWERFUL,FAST AND EFFECTIVE. BUT AGAIN,LACKS GRAPPLING TECHNIQUES AND IS NOT AS EFFECTIVE IN SHORT RANGE AS MANY OTHER MARTIAL ARTS.
