Thai Boxing

What’s the difference between kickboxing, boxing and muay thai?

I want to to take either kickboxing, boxing or muay thai. I’ve been studying tae kwon do for five years and want to expand my knowledge for martial arts. Which do you reccomend?

1. Boxing uses only punches or upper body strikes. You can’t strike below the belt under any circumstances.

2. Kick-boxing is just like boxing, only you can use kicks.

3. Muay Thai- is Thai Boxing. You can strike with fist, elbows, knees, and feet.

Mauy Thai is definitely the one of the “in” martial arts of the day, because it is so effective. More than likely you will find all three at the same gym. They all use the same training equipment. Right now I believe that an American style of Muay Thai has developed.

American Thai Boxing, is usually taught by a professional kick- boxer. He just incorporates the elbow and knee strikes. This style is so effective that some of the highest ranked Muay Thai fighters are from Western Countries.

My opinion of Muay Thai is very high. Also, I believe that the Western versions offer better defense, than the traditional.
