Honestly, also different pacing. In my opinion the biggest difference. Muay Thai really pick their shots while KB feels a big more like peppering. Also clinch.

@@zakinasser3745 Depends on mostly what you prefer tbh, Muay Thai would give you a strong base for kickbox but striking in kickbox is way better as Muay Thai also focuses on elbows and knees, Muay Thai is more destructive though. I personally chose kickbox as there more to compete in and it’s more available (especially in my country)
It's mainly because you can't eat many power kicks to the leg or ribs so you really need to adopt that stance to be able to check leg and body kicks. You still want to move out of range of strikes when you can and keep a tight guard with big gloves, can also keep people on the outside if you're long with teeps and footwork, it's not all just check counters and shit it's not as if we just allow ourselves to get smacked in the head. Muay Thai is great
@@angellicuk007 Most of the power does come from the hips but it mostly uses all you’re muscles in you’re body including you’re back. I’m sure you can find a video or look online for a more in-depth answer 😊
@@way2toxic30 well that’s American kickboxing. If you for example look at Dutch kickboxing we all use knees and also have powerfull strikes. People tend to only listen to American kickboxing but just forget about other kickboxing styles which in tournaments are not limited by anything. Aka we are allowed to use knees and yes a lot of us like muy Thai do have strong power kicks.
I do both and I’d say the best is to combine both in a street fight as it definitely works. But for competitions especially kickboxing don’t mix them lol that’s against the rules…
I compete in both and they both have their strengths and weaknesses. I came from boxing so the Dutch style was easier for me to acclimate to initially and I love using footwork to create angles and be slick but I’ve fallen head over heels in love with Muay Thai and I even train in Thailand at times now. Neither is better than the other but gun to my head and I had to choose one style to practice for the rest of my life…I’m Nak Muay all day.
Thanks for the input. I love Dutch kickboxing too. To be honest, unless you're traning in Thailand, with exceptions, you're not really training Mauy Thai
Oh jeez... Muay Thai, the art of this combat sport is literally breaking your soul, mentally and physically. Kicking boxing is on par but it's ferocity is what differentiates the two. Muay Thai for the win.
More Thai is overrated because of knees and elbows when if a boxer rabbit punches you you have brain damage for the rest of your life what's an elbow going to do in that situation
@@LxmXl th-cam.com/video/LqYZLlilmTc/w-d-xo.html Break your skull maybe? How are you gonna rabbit punch the back of the head without gloves? Do you sucker punch him without gloves? You're gonna break your hand. Unless you clinch and just slap the back of his head then that's not enough to cause significant damage, but if his head is turned and you throw a powerful hook or cross with gloves on then yes. It will do damage. But without gloves you'll fuck your hands up Elbows can break collarbones, skull as you saw in that video, can cut and can ko people as well. All these without any protection. What is a punch without glove gonna do most of the time? You'll break your wrist/fingers etc. Open palm strikes are more reliable in a street fight than punching. Average joe won't break his hand if he throws a punch assuming he tightens the fist correclty because he doesn't have the power. But a full on boxers punch without gloves or very conditioned hands will break your hand. Look at lethwei hand conditioning I've trained boxing for 4 years and switched to muay thai yet I'm not delusional thinking boxing beats any other fighting style. Especially muay thai which is more brutal and has more tools to use. Go learn other martial arts and open your eyes. You're not invincible just because you box
@Sassy Penguin In a way i agree. But no bjj or muay thai artist is going to get a hold of me. I might be stupid. But i aint delusional either. What im saying is in just boxing. My footwork and striking angles are more odd to the average person or fighter.
@@LxmXlI saw myself a boxer transition to Muay Thai. First Muay Thai fighjt he was clearly better than the other fighter with his hands. But he couldn’t land the knock out because the Muay Thai fighter kept using the extended guard in a smart way. The boxer got his legs destroyed, lost by points, didn’t fight again for 7 months because of knee injury as a result of the fight. I think your ego is getting in the way mate
the kickboxing he showed was american kickboxing. theres varieties of kickboxing, and ALOT of them, heres a few: Savate (french) Sayaw Ng Kamatayan, translation: dance of death (filipino kickboxing) Kyukoshin (japanese) and dutch.
Kickboxing n Muay Thai is the same it doesn’t matter wat people say about being fast it’s diff people in both sports some people in kick boxing are slow n like to hit hard then be light on their feet
People underestimate Dutch style kickboxing not all kickboxers are light on their feet an slick most kickboxers focus on power punches and pressure boxing and know how to defend kicks look at Pereira, Dekkers, Ernesto Hoost Gabriel Varga, Mark Hunt, cro cop etc.
yea i believe Muay Thai practitioners just learn kickboxing's fluid kicks that'll make them more sufficient in the fight. But in MMA if you pick Muay Thai and Kickboxing as the striking arts then thats effective and for grappling/ground work i pick Submission Wrestling!
Muay thai would win, i did another kind of martial arts where we used elbows alot too and from what i learned there elbows are pretty devastating when you hit the right spot. Knees+elbows+good defence rocks
I've done Muay Thai for a little while, and I'm learning certain aspects of kickboxing now (some taekwondo and karate kicks), and what a pain in the ass it is, when drilling some of these kicks I'm being shown. Long live Dieselnoi and Hug
Rather fight a Muay Thai fighter then a boxer, now if we’re talking highest level, a boxer I’ll be knocked out faster and will be able to walk the next day 😂
You can use many kicks in Muay Thai, but the thing is that, you SHOULDN'T use many of them most of the time. Most of the time, teep and rounhouse kick are the most effective
Growing up I thought arts like kung fu, taekwondo, and pencak silat were the ones to learn. After taking Muay Thai for a year, I wish I learned it much earlier
Далеко не лучшее. Его изучают убийцы и киллеры, поверь, БИ - созданы для защиты, а иногда и для зрелищности, НО НЕ ДЛЯ УБИЙСТВА СВОЕГО ВРАГА, как тайский бокс
As a Muay Thai amateur I always wondered what was the big difference with kickboxing but never bothered to watch until now. It's so interesting to see when they seem like essentially the same thing at first. I'm proud I chose the style I did. Nice videos by the way.
Muay thai is more leg focused, kickboxing is more arm focused. Muay thai focuses a strong defense and demolishing kicks, kickboxing focuses heavy combos, good head movement and offense over defense. They're 2 very complete striking arts.
To be honest if you’re usually bigger than your opponent, I would suggest Muay Thai and learn the clinch, if you can become excellent at the clinch, your opponents will be in for a rough time, but kickboxing is also pretty good
@@Nelkz39CFC I mean the taller person would have more leverage seeing as they would be pulling down on you, also if you’re taller usually that means you’ll be also heavier and that would sometimes make it harder to knock a bigger person down. The taller people would also have the advantage where it would be easier to knee your opponent higher up on their body. Although if you’re shorter and have a lot more skill compared to your taller opponent then you should easily win, but if you’re at the same skill level as your opponent, the taller fighter has the advantage
@@Nelkz39CFC that… is a good point. I guess being shorter comes with good advantages, but bigger size comes with advantages too which would give a smaller opponent a tough time
Kickboxing is really cool and practical to learn if you're fast, agile and small but for bigger and meatier guys we might have to rely on Muay Thai simply because we'll have a better chance of defending and delivering devastating kicks
Everything alright but neither Kickboxers nor Thais are known for their defense, I'd even say most of them suck at defense (there are exceptions like Saenchai, a master mind).
I would love to learn Muay Thai but I don't have a clue where to start. I live in Los Angeles and I'm sure there are gyms all over but I'm broke. Hopefully I can get my finances straight cause learning Muay Thai is a must.
Go offer to work for the instructors for free in exchange of doing a class. No trainer will refuse that. I do Muay Thai and the trainers/senior guys are some of the most humble helpful people I’ve ever met. They will Gladly help you, if you are willing. Gd luck
@@jaseperi I second this. 3 years of muay thai under my belt but couldnt afford the classes anymore. head coach let me take over 3 of the kids classes a week to train for free
No, Kyokushin and Muay Thai made original Kickboxing (Japanese). Then the Dutch went to Japan and learned Japanese Kickboxing, took it back to their country and slowly incorporated Western Boxing Techniques, making Dutch Kickboxing.
Muay Thai all day everyday. And if I was a professional fighter I would study this as well as Brazilian style jiu-jitsu. These two things will make you the best well-rounded fighter
@@arianlatifi5492 eh lethwei isn't very technical. It's more like go in the ring and go ape shit vs muay thai were they're technical and playful, playing smart. Muay thai is gonna have to take the vote here. As for catch wrestling and jiu jitsu I'm not sure. Not really informed on catch wrestling than jiu jitsu but there must be a reason jiu-jitsu is mma favorite/norm than catch wrestling haha.
Muay Thai also has clinching, making their arsenal that much wider. However as a punching enthusiast I have to go with kickboxing because in Muay Thai punching is frowned upon as it is worth hardly any points
As I said on other comments, it's really hard to say what style is better. You mentioned the clinch, which I liked. A lot of American gyms don't work the clinch very often.
In terms of actually being helpful in streets or self defense, I'd give Muay Thai and kickboxing a B tier. It's all technical and gives you an edge for doing well with your techniques. Both martial arts trains you to be great fighters in the ring. But outside of it, there would be a big disconnect. I would put Muay Thai a step higher than kickboxing. Only because it's just kickboxing but it hits harder if I were to summarize how they fight.
@@toxicworld7211lolwut? the only kickboxing style that bans knees in its ruleset is american kb aka full-contact. I've trained kb in different places (Europe) with different instructors, all teached knees (without grabs of course)
I think kickboxers generally have a stronger regular defense (guard) due to the fact that they cannot rely on the clinch. The clinch is probably the biggest difference between the two styles so its a bit weird you didnt mention that part in the video

MUAY THAI 😁
My vote goes for Muay Thai. Due to similar fundamentals in both forms, it may go the other way around too
My favorite is Muay Thai but kickboxing is cool too ❤
Looking at the kickboxing stuff, Mauy Thai has all that except for the Variety of kicks and that may just be a teacher thing.
You can use many kicks in Muay Thai, but the thing is that, you SHOULDN'T use many of them most of the time. Most of the time, teep and rounhouse kick are the most effective
Kick boxing is about the fundamentals of combos lol. I wouldn't say it's a variety of kicks
I love it how Thaiboxing it still counts as strikepoints even if your kicks get blocked
Growing up I thought arts like kung fu, taekwondo, and pencak silat were the ones to learn. After taking Muay Thai for a year, I wish I learned it much earlier
this video made me decide to start muay thai. Been 1 year in this journey and best choice i ever made
Kickboxing uses elbows and knees aswell
From when.? Only maybe in glory kickboxing but still elbow is prohibited
@@saraths6842 in my old kickboxing we where trained to elbow but not knee
@@tomvanderveldo_2047that was prob so that If you would want to compete in muay thai rules
Muay Thai and kickboxing is basically the same thing but Muay Thai adds some other stuff to make it even more tough
Kickboxing 🥇
It doesn't depend on the martial art it depends on the martial artist -
Wise man
Agree 100%
@@CyclingMartialartswithMusicMe too
I prefer Dutch Kickboxing
I am a kickboxer and i usually combine my styles like karate with muay thai
Muay Thai is a tank and kickboxing is a military vehicle
I,am coming from muay thai but power kicks are also in kickboxing i thnk thai boxers have advantage plus muay thai boxers are great strikers
Muay Thai é a melhor arte marcial de todas! ❤️😍🇹🇭
Далеко не лучшее. Его изучают убийцы и киллеры, поверь, БИ - созданы для защиты, а иногда и для зрелищности, НО НЕ ДЛЯ УБИЙСТВА СВОЕГО ВРАГА, как тайский бокс
not me combining all the best parts of each martial art into one
Kickboxing seems to be faster but Muay Thai seems to hit harder.
How many fighting styles do you master?
Him: Yes.
He's mastered none and taken barely any
Kickboxing has power kicks
I already do Muay Thai and absolutely think it would defeat kickboxers
No
Mi maestro de Kick Boxing nos hace entrenar técnicas de Muay Thai junto con las de kick Boxing, lo admiro.
Man this song really fits to the vid lolol
As a Muay Thai amateur I always wondered what was the big difference with kickboxing but never bothered to watch until now. It's so interesting to see when they seem like essentially the same thing at first. I'm proud I chose the style I did. Nice videos by the way.
Muay thai is more leg focused, kickboxing is more arm focused. Muay thai focuses a strong defense and demolishing kicks, kickboxing focuses heavy combos, good head movement and offense over defense. They're 2 very complete striking arts.
@@oblivion9202 thaks for your comment, very learning
JUST KICKBOXING COPIED MUAY THAI STYLE
@@counterstrike2isdead no
@@oblivion9202Then why do muai fighters eat hits ?
Both. Train both styles. They both have a lot to offer
Muay Thai is better for self defence.
But both are effective
Avarage boxer everyone
one leg kick puts your statement to rest
Why
@@AbdulazizACE Boxers arent trained to defend leg kicks. You could effectively win most fights based on keeping your range & throwing low kicks
@@tman4life01And Thai fighters dont have great head movement
@@iGadgetzz head movement isn’t going to protect you from having a dead leg
I’ll personally take kickboxing, with my height and size , I wanna be super volume puncher but be able to use my legs as well
To be honest if you’re usually bigger than your opponent, I would suggest Muay Thai and learn the clinch, if you can become excellent at the clinch, your opponents will be in for a rough time, but kickboxing is also pretty good
@@redheadslush5270 if your taller you shouldn’t be in a clinch tho?
@@Nelkz39CFC I mean the taller person would have more leverage seeing as they would be pulling down on you, also if you’re taller usually that means you’ll be also heavier and that would sometimes make it harder to knock a bigger person down. The taller people would also have the advantage where it would be easier to knee your opponent higher up on their body.
Although if you’re shorter and have a lot more skill compared to your taller opponent then you should easily win, but if you’re at the same skill level as your opponent, the taller fighter has the advantage
@@redheadslush5270 yh but the shorter person would usually want to penetrate your range and put them selves in a more comfortable position
@@Nelkz39CFC that… is a good point. I guess being shorter comes with good advantages, but bigger size comes with advantages too which would give a smaller opponent a tough time
Muay Thai is one of the best martial arts, also Karate and BJJ are very cool
Kickboxing is really cool and practical to learn if you're fast, agile and small but for bigger and meatier guys we might have to rely on Muay Thai simply because we'll have a better chance of defending and delivering devastating kicks
Everything alright but neither Kickboxers nor Thais are known for their defense, I'd even say most of them suck at defense (there are exceptions like Saenchai, a master mind).
I would love to learn Muay Thai but I don't have a clue where to start. I live in Los Angeles and I'm sure there are gyms all over but I'm broke. Hopefully I can get my finances straight cause learning Muay Thai is a must.
You can search tutor video on youtube and practice, you may do it wrong but if you keep learning and practice you will have correct form
Go offer to work for the instructors for free in exchange of doing a class. No trainer will refuse that. I do Muay Thai and the trainers/senior guys are some of the most humble helpful people I’ve ever met. They will
Gladly help you, if you are willing. Gd luck
@@jaseperi I second this. 3 years of muay thai under my belt but couldnt afford the classes anymore. head coach let me take over 3 of the kids classes a week to train for free
Muay Thai + Karate = Kickboxing
Or boxe+taekwondo
Kyokushin + Muay thai + Western boxing = Kickboxing
Yeah, so kickboxing should be more powerfull
No, Kyokushin and Muay Thai made original Kickboxing (Japanese). Then the Dutch went to Japan and learned Japanese Kickboxing, took it back to their country and slowly incorporated Western Boxing Techniques, making Dutch Kickboxing.
I have been doing muay thai for about halve of my life
I'm 13 btw
nice ❤️
Kickboxing better keep up their guard. One opening and fights over.
Muay Thai 🔥😍
Thanks, i will try this at the playground should be easy to knock them out 😎
Guess the name makes sense
Muay Thai all day everyday. And if I was a professional fighter I would study this as well as Brazilian style jiu-jitsu. These two things will make you the best well-rounded fighter
*Lethwei and Catch Wrestling (CACC)
Every martial art has their kryptonite.
@@arianlatifi5492 eh lethwei isn't very technical. It's more like go in the ring and go ape shit vs muay thai were they're technical and playful, playing smart.
Muay thai is gonna have to take the vote here.
As for catch wrestling and jiu jitsu I'm not sure. Not really informed on catch wrestling than jiu jitsu but there must be a reason jiu-jitsu is mma favorite/norm than catch wrestling haha.
@@IlyuuJrry34 Here's a little insight. th-cam.com/video/l4KZuxy6az0/w-d-xo.html
@@IlyuuJrry34 Lethwei is essentially ancient muay-boran. But I agree modern MT is more technical.
Muay Thai also has clinching, making their arsenal that much wider. However as a punching enthusiast I have to go with kickboxing because in Muay Thai punching is frowned upon as it is worth hardly any points
As I said on other comments, it's really hard to say what style is better. You mentioned the clinch, which I liked. A lot of American gyms don't work the clinch very often.
Kickboxing is powerful martial art from Japan and it’s great for self defense and discipline
Agreed
Which one can give me a better chance to survive being jumped by 3 dudes or just which one is better for street fights
Muay Thai is pretty fucking scary tbh. Even in that situation. One hard ass low kick, knee, or elbow and it's quickly 2v1 or 1v1
In terms of actually being helpful in streets or self defense, I'd give Muay Thai and kickboxing a B tier. It's all technical and gives you an edge for doing well with your techniques.
Both martial arts trains you to be great fighters in the ring. But outside of it, there would be a big disconnect. I would put Muay Thai a step higher than kickboxing. Only because it's just kickboxing but it hits harder if I were to summarize how they fight.
No martial art is better than running in a street fight, don't die stupidly
None will help you in a gang fight.
As for street fighting, both will get you the KO you've been dreaming for.
Muay thai
Every kick you did with kickboxing we have in muay thai
No
Kick boxing.... because. Now I am learning....😍
Kickboxing has knees too
No it doesn't.
Anyone teaching you kickboxing with knees isn't teaching you real kickboxing.
@@toxicworld7211 Real
@@aikadxuk7303 What?
Kickboxing came from karate to compete with muay thai and didn't hold up in tournaments
@@toxicworld7211lolwut? the only kickboxing style that bans knees in its ruleset is american kb aka full-contact. I've trained kb in different places (Europe) with different instructors, all teached knees (without grabs of course)
🔥🔥🔥🔥
I think kickboxers generally have a stronger regular defense (guard) due to the fact that they cannot rely on the clinch. The clinch is probably the biggest difference between the two styles so its a bit weird you didnt mention that part in the video
Also Muay Thai: great clinching
