Re: Taken Kickboxing Anyone?
If you’re serious about taking something up like Kickboxing, I’d say go for Muay Thai as your primary choice and if you don’t find a good camp, go with Kickboxing.
Quite simply, Muay Thai, also called Art of Eight Limbs is more versatile and more varied. You have the added incorporation of elbow and knee strikes which are not part of Kickboxing. I did some Muay Thai along with some other forms of martial arts when I was fighting and honestly I found it incredibly fascinating. There’s just so much history with the discipline and the true Nak Muay unleashing the Eight Limbs is a sight to behold. There are some badass Kickboxers too, look at K1 for example. Its such a stacked promotion but the majority of their fighters have a Muay Thai base.
Either way, good luck with whatever you decide to go with. Tell us how it goes!
Some videos to feast your eyes on!
Muay Thai is some serious business dude. I would like to try kickboxing and then jump into specialization when i am used to all those kicks and box. Do ya still fight?..how long ya have done it for?? And also if ya can answer how was the training in the begining??
