Muay Thai and kickboxing are both combat sports, but they have several differences:
Origin: Muay Thai originated in Thailand, while kickboxing originated in Japan and later gained popularity in the United States.
Techniques: Muay Thai allows the use of elbows, knees, and clinching techniques, while kickboxing primarily focuses on punches and kicks.
Strikes: Muay Thai emphasizes powerful strikes using all parts of the body, including fists, elbows, knees, and shins, whereas kickboxing typically emphasizes kicks and punches.
Clinching: Clinching is a significant component of Muay Thai, allowing fighters to control their opponents and deliver knee strikes, while clinching is less common in kickboxing.
Stance: Muay Thai fighters typically have a wider stance and use more leg kicks, while kickboxers often have a narrower stance and focus more on punches and high kicks.
Great experience even asked our 11yr old daughter to carry champions belt into the ring (ring girl), good night & even got a free vest 😜
Amazing experience to witness the action live in this incredibly well organised event my only advice is to pay a little extra to sit ringside and watch these awesome combatants in comfort
Interesting experience
Awesome
