Karate vs. Muay Thai (FIGHT)

  • Thai Boxing vs Karate started in 1963, when Kyokushin co-founder Kenji Kurosaki got knocked out by a Muay Thai fighter in Thailand (Bangkok) at Lumpinee Stadium. This sparked the Japanese invention of Kickboxing. As a result, the feud between Karate and Muay Thai escalated. In today's video I aim to end the rivalry by fighting Petch Aek Sitjaopho (Poonnasit Kambung). Enjoy! :)

      The first time I was allowed to spar in Muay Thai at my gym, my sparring partner was one of our competitive fighters and he was an incredible sparring partner. My gym doesn't allow actual sparring until you have been training for at least 3-4 months and I was excited to finally spar and put to practice everything I had learned. My partner and I went back and forth doing 4 for 4 and I landed a few clean strikes and got a little cocky and stepped up the intensity. As soon as I did that he was keen to let me know I was out of place and matched my intensity and put me in my place real quick lol. @@lemyoboi

    What catches me the most about this video is how humble you are. I've practiced BJJ, Krav Maga, and now Muay Thai, and with each, you find the same, the ego, the pride, and the inability to learn from your opponent, especially in defeat. You, kind Sir, embody the spirit of Martial Arts. It was a pleasure to watch.

    One of the biggest problems with most martial arts that take a lateral stance such as karate, boxing and taekwondo for example is how the lead leg remains extended at all times, Muay Thai has an advantage over such methods because while taking such a wide stance does allow you to generate more power when throwing from the hip (especially when you sit on your punches) doing so unfortunately comes at a cost when you're in front of a competent muay thai practitioner, in a lateral stance it leaves your lead leg constantly out there open to inside and outside leg kicks because all your weight is being distributed down the center of your body, in muay thai we stand with our shoulders square horizontally and the lead foot is not being placed more than a foot away from the back leg where all the weight is centered i'd say 80 percent of your weight is moved to the back leg, you can see how the muay thai champ can keep his front leg raised because of it quite a lot because of this which allows him to use his front leg like a jamming stick to keep the distance between you any time he feels you're going to close the distance, this is something muay thai truly excels at and probably one of the most effective aspects of the art itself which imo is revolutionary ... the bouncing of the lead leg up and down also acts as a sort of spring which provides quicker reaction time when you need to check leg kicks or deliver a strong front leg teep (muay thai equivalent of a front push kick), you can also generate huge momentum when you eventually plant the front foot to deliver a back leg round house or are devastating knee when your opponent is coming in for an attack.

    Fun Fact about weird dance/ritual before fighting: It's called ram muay or wai khru.
    The wai is a traditional Thai greeting with the palms together as a sign of respect. Khru is the Thai word means 'teacher'. Ram is the Thai word for dancing in classical style, and muay means 'boxing'. The full term can therefore be translated as 'war-dance saluting the teacher', but Thai speakers generally shorten it either to wai khru or ram muay. The ram muay shows respect and gratitude to the boxer's teacher, parents, and ancestors. In the old days when boxers fought in front of the royalty, the ram muay also paid respect to the king.
    Upon entering the ring, fighters circle the ring in a counter-clockwise direction and pray at each corner. They bow their heads at every corner three times in salutation to Buddha, Dharma, and the sangha of monks. They then commence the ram muay, the movements of which are said to be based on Hanuman(The india super monke). The ram muay is a personal ritual, ranging from the very complex to the very simple, and often contains clues about who trained the fighter and where the fighter is from. The ram muay is accompanied by music, providing a rhythm to the boxer's movements.
    Btw, muay thai was a traditional martial arts.

    Hi Jesse, the “OO WEEH” sounds are typical of Thai fighters during sparring. Those sounds are meant to prevent a tense atmosphere and keep the sparring relaxed and relatively light. So when you hit your opponent, or when you get hit, you make an “OWAY” sound to show your opponent your not getting emotional or anything.

    I went to Thailand with a friend who has many years of practicing boxing/kickboxing/muaythai (I only knew grappling). My friend payed for private lessons with a former champ. I was filming so that my friend could look at his technique afterwards. I was shocked. My friend is 90kg, extremely strong, agile and fast, a monster of a man, but this taiguy who weighed like 60-65kg just dominated my friend when they did some sparring. I could not believe it. It was like a giant was toying with a child. Over and over my friend got tricked, with feigns, unreal timing, trips that put my friend on the ground so the whole floor shock. It was like watching neo from the matrix.

      That's what sets champs and high level pros aside from the rest of us mortals. What they may lack in power (and maybe even technique) they'll compensate with fighting IQ, muscle memory, speed, timing and toughness. Thais specially, since they can rack hundreds of bouts in a career.
      Always respect them, even if you have 20 years of sparring under your belt. If you want to have any chance to beat them, you better be a pro or a champ too.

      Yeah, but not many other martial arts than Muay Thai have people starting their professional career when they are children. For the pro thais it's not only art, it's also work and a way to pay for their education in the training camp. Like imagine what it is like to start having to fight when you are nine to pay for school. You can't fight two times a year , you have to fight at least once a month, for 10-15 years. You have to fight injured or when you don't feel like it. It is cruel in a way, but it also breeds an art and a mentality that is not found in any other arts imho. It is not a hobby or a lifestyle, it's a livelihood, and as such is rationalized to it's most economic elements. If a Muay Thai technique looks a certain way, then there's always practical reason for it.

      I love (and kinda hate) to face good sparring partners. Its humbling and suddenly you need to mind your openings.
      But I also love to spar with noobs. Suddenly you get a chance to use those flashy low% techniques and maybe land them.
      And in grappling the most fun is to grapple weaker guys or girls. Because they cant "cheat" and use pure power to deny my moves. So I can relaxe. Use just a fraction of my strength, and focus on the Technical aspects. I mean, sure I try that with strong people to, but margins are so small and The flow just becomes different

    The dance/ritual done in Muay Thai is called a Wai Khru. Traditionally, it was to show respect to the four directions, the ancestors, the Muay Thai master, and the opponent, and the final move of the dance was emulating a shovel digging a grave to show they were ready to die. The Modern form was created in 1941, with essentially the same emanings.
