What is Muay Thai and How Does it Differ from Kickboxing?
Muay Thai and Kickboxing are two distinct martial arts that have been around for centuries. While they share some similarities, there are also some key differences between the two. Muay Thai is an ancient martial art from Thailand that has been used in warfare and sport for centuries. On the other hand, Kickboxing is a modern hybrid of boxing and karate developed in Japan during the 1950s. Both Muay Thai and Kickboxing involve striking with punches, kicks, elbows, and knees but they differ in their styles of combat. Muay Thai emphasizes powerful strikes with all eight limbs while Kickboxing focuses more on technique and speed to outmaneuver opponents. Additionally, Muay Thai utilizes clinching techniques whereas this is not allowed in most forms of kickboxing. Ultimately, both styles offer unique advantages to practitioners so it’s important to understand the differences before deciding which one to pursue further.
