- I Tried Kickboxing for the First Time as a Muay Thai Fighter but would be surprised in sparring their fighters from the gym...
Hi, my name is Michael. I left my hometown in Europe to train Muay Thai in Thailand. Here on TH-cam I share my experience, my wins and my losses with you.
Watch my 10 Months Muay Thai Transformation (started at age 26): • I Trained 10 Months MU...
Watch all my fights here: • I Had My First MUAY TH...
Looks like I have to take more lessons... 😅
The western disregard for tradition causes loss in many directions, however it allows for thinking outside the cultural box to grow and advance in other directions.
Your last sentence nailed it 👍
the last guy is right though. long guard kind of sucks in kickboxing because the opponent can just close distance and start punching. against a pressure fighter who just closes the distance for a punch combination, long guard not only opens you up for hooks and uppercuts but shortens the time window for parrying jabs and crosses too. in muay thai, you'd just clinch the guy and start kneeing and elbowing him, but clinching is against kickboxing rules (so is elbowing).
your punch distance with the long guard is also shorter, which will make your punches harder to dodge, but that also means that you cannot accelerate your punches as much. As force equals mass times acceleration, less acceleration means weaker punches. weaker punches + no clinch means opponent can just go into high guard and dive into the pocket without taking significant damage. high guard sucks in clinch situations, but again: clinching is against kickboxing rules.
So accurate and helpful, thank you Kemal!!
I love myself some high guard!
I love your attitude. Learning leaves little space for ego
Nice video and good humor 😂 I enjoyed it. keep fighting
Thanks, I will! 🙏🏼🤗
I do kickboxing and I swear the amount of people that have saids its useless do Muay Thai (even my Barbour) im like let me enjoy my martial art 😅
Nah, I can confirm Kickboxing is very high level and you need good cardio for it. Also they are focusing a lot more on boxing then we as Muay Thai Fighters, so they can be very dangerous 🙏🏼 both Arts are great!
@@muaymichael thanks man we r all here to learn and to get stronger 👍
they are delusional. Do not listen to them.
@@batmanhood9233Yh ngl when the kick-boxer beat him in the spar I was like yes Kick-boxing represent 😂✊
I have trained and competed in both sports. And trained in the highest level gyms in both sports. First of all, without dissrespect, this kicboxing gym (from the video) is really average, and obviously they caused him problems. Dutch Kicboxing (glory as a prime organization), is prime striking organization/sport. Everything else is being dellusional. And this is not a diss to Muay Thai as they all do to other sports, but a reality. @@aftershanshow4463
One thing I've learned is that in Muay Thai and kickboxing you really got to get a handle on that emotional fragility that most men have sparring is about a learning experience is not about trying to win...but most peeps suck at life and so they want to get a "Win" dont be that guy
Could be also just a healthy competitive instinct, I don’t enter a sparring to get my ass kicked 😃 Maybe there is a bit of ego involved 😅 and your absolutely right about the learning part! 🙏🏼
I’m sure if it were Muay Thai rules things would have been a bit different 😜 I.e longer clinches with knees etc
Oh yeah, my strengths 😄 clinch + knees = 🔥
Keep on going man, this is the must-have mindset, you are an inspiration. By the way, what was your age when you actually started Muay Thai ?
Thanks! I started at age 26 🙏🏼
Great video as always. From you friend in Sydney 😊
🇦🇺🙏🏼😊
You gotta try Kyokushin Karate now
I will definitely try more martial arts! 🥋
Your video quality has improved very nice.
Thanks Laxmigopal!
Will you be focusing on any grappling arts at some point? I know Muay Thai has the clinch obviously, but im thinking of Judo or wrestling, etc.
I definitely will try! Don’t want to stick to only one Martial Art, there are so many 😄
These vids are so watchable
Happy you enjoyed it! 🙏🏼
awesome video bro
Thanks Ace 🙏🏼 you are training too?
Not lately but your videos are very motivating! I want to get back into it again@@muaymichael
Can i get the full video of your sparring?
Why?
@muaymichael I'm instrerest to see kickboxing vs a more muay thai style fight that isn't on an international level
Thumbnail😍😍😍
Invested the first TH-cam money 🙏🏼🙏🏼
They go to the Body because youre tall. Its simple a stronger Focus in boxing. You can counter Body punches easily If you Work on your jab/Check Hook
Damn 😁 so you mean I should keep the distance with jabs? 👍
@@muaymichaelyes
the only way to defend close distance with long guard is clinching but it is no allowed in kickboxing
Yes that’s what I’m normally used to, was a bit frustrating 😄 thanks
His kicks are quite Kyokushin-ey
Not familiar with that, I should try it
@@muaymichaelyeah the 3 pillars of dutch kickboxing are muay thai, kyokushin karate and western boxing. Kyokushin fighters were very successful in K1 heavyweight divisions search Andy Hug
Did you leave Thailand?
Back soon ❤🇹🇭
@@muaymichael hey I'd like to do something similiar but I dont have an IG to shoot you a DM - is it possible to reach out to you via some other way like email ? I'm your age and also from UK wanted to ask about advice in finding school and costs
I have practice the 2….and as everybody know Muay Thai is far more complete than kickboxing . Make Muay Thai (and some boxing ) mix it with judo or bjj and you have already a good base for mma…
Thanks man, I definitely will try out some ground game arts 💯
Bullied is the wrong word brother. The gym you're in has very nice people who went very easy and soft. If you want bullied, train at a gym that I used to train in.
Where are you training at? Always love to try new challenges
Muay Thai and Kickboxing I feel like are the most neck-and-neck martial arts. Both are equal in skill, I'm sorry to say that you got beaten because the guy is just better than you. Maybe avoid the body shots to the stomach try to keep your distance with teeps. Teeps to the stomach would be a good way to deter them.
Yes he has over 10 years experience, that’s 10x more than mine 😄 Good advice, I also have to improve my defense and boxing
@muaymichael I really wish I could do muay thai like you. I took a class in college, but there was no clinching or sparring. I then took a boxing class also, but again no sparring. I liked muay thai the most because it felt the most combat effective. The city I live in has high rent so I want to save up enough money after I move so I can do it like you. Hopefully, I'll land a job that will let me train in Thailand and pay me twice the amount.
@muaymichael I've done a lot of research and I've watched a lot of boxing and MMA fights. My favourite Muay Thai fighter is Tawanchai because he is the closest in age to me, and he is what I believe to a pure Muay Thai fighter. My favourite kickboxer is Alex Pereira because he strikes with no telegraph and he's got a amazing left hook. My favourite MMA fighter is either Anderson Silva and Jon Jones.
I’m sure ur whole Muay Thai gym would crush there gym tho tbh 😂
The ammount of close mindedness and dissrespect thai guys show to dutch kicboxing is unreal. While in reality Glory Dutch Kixboxing is a prime stand up sport at the moment. MT didn't evolve so much in the last 10 years, precisely because of this. As someone who trained and competed in both sports, I will tell you in a hypothetical fight between 2 same level fighters, dutch kicboxer will win 7 out of 10 times even by MT rules. To an untrained eye, MT will look flashy, more violent, stronger, but in reality MT is too slow and stiff, with really bad boxing. No footwork, no rythm, every move is exaggerated and extremely predictable. Every training is the same, pads, sparring clinching, they don't learn anything advanced, and this way, you progress too slow. Go watch Donovan Wisse, to see what a masterclass in striking looks like.

No, no. I didn't said you were dissrespectful in anyway. You actually showed reality of things. I am speaking in general, and also you will see in your comments what people say about it. It's a standard dellusional opinion. All the best@@muaymichael
I agree with your general sentiment about Dutch Kickboxing and Muay Thai (except I have no idea about how disrespectful Thai guys are, I didn't do a whole lot of research about it) and how proficient Donovan Wisse is (I watched him make the #1 contender look like a clown and added like 10 combos that I saw from him in my shadow boxing routine). I also find the Muay Thai stance too narrow and stiff and footwork almost non-existent.
However, I have to say that "I will tell you in a hypothetical fight between 2 same level fighters, dutch kicboxer will win 7 out of 10 times even by MT rules." is kind of wrong, at least at the weight classes between Flyweight and Lightweight. I mean, Petch is the Glory Featherweight (65kg) champion for the past 5+ years and also fought for the Lightweight (70kg) title. Sittichai held the Glory Lightweight title for 3 years. Funny enough, they both got their titles from Robin van Roosmalen, a Dutch kickboxer from Netherlands. Also, most of the kickboxing champions and contenders in One Championship (Superlek, Rodtang, Nong O, Ferrari Fairtex, Superbon, Tawanchai, Sittichai, Jo Nattawut) are also Thai fighters who trained Muay Thai for their entire lives. Skilled kickboxers like Chingiz Allazov make Thai fighters look like light work, but a lot of Dutch style kickboxers with superior footwork, boxing and versatility falter against skilled Thai fighters, even by kickboxing rules, at the weight classes I mentioned above.
I also believe that a similarly skilled Dutch Kickboxer would beat the Muay Thai Fighter 7 times out of 10 at Regional/National championship level, but this is not the reality at the highest level of Kickboxing or Muay Thai between Flyweight and Lightweight (i.e. where highest skilled Muay Thai fighters fight).
BS- Southeast Asian Boxing has its roots in CAMBODIA 👈🤏
