Muay thai is all about consideration. To be considering, in ones heart, how to use body as an instrument, finely tuned, to beeing able to perform hits and blows.
What one is really training, is ones heart. Ones heart is beeing ekstended in each and every hit and blow one performs. That is why that muay thai fighters are never getteing too exhausted to beeing able to handle their breathing, they never really seems to be grasping for air.
Therefore Ronnie is right. There is no real skilldevelopment in many newcommers approach to muay thai, but this can be developed by awareness of ones heart and how ones heart react, feel and percieve the world we are...
What Ronnie is really talking about, is (skills of) heart. Ronnie says there is rage in many new commers to muay thai fighting "skills", I add, that there is often no real heart, no real kind heart. The kind heart is by nature observant, patient, gentle, humble, courageous, etc., etc.
The above mentioned qualities is what makes life sweet and not dreadfull, dreadfull it is, if these values are not consiously applied to ones muay thai life and/or daily life.
Ronnie hit it on the head if you believe they do not know how to box you are very very wrong it just isnt considered as big points compared to other weapons... to answer the fella who said they just stand there it's not western boxing so they keep it like this to mimic full rules thaiboxing where you cannot bob and weave but you can sway back and they can also counter kick or knee elbow whatever in these situations ... they dont want to develop bad habits so is why they keep standing there.
@101010rae They just stand there reactively.... that makes the whole difference. They await an opportunity to make a move, that is why it is really self defence or reactive boxing, when the move has been made from the opponent, then he has set the fight on go, and they just follow. Bruce Lee and all chinese literature tell us to follow, never go ahead.
The legs are primarily used, as they have greater range of movement, can hit harder and makes follow ups by hands and elbow possible.
Since they are only boxing in this part I can add my input, their technique looks nice. But if you're going to just stand in front of your opponent, then you're just asking for an ass whoopin
@Caveman1213 Lol that's true, I'm a boxer so I would much prefer not to get hit. Thai fighters are some tough SOB though, although that's the exact reason they don't have long careers
@poncekid56 Yeah, I hear they fight every other couple weeks. They're way out of some of our guys leagues, but it's just experience though, they get it earlier than most of us do.

It would be great to bring a handful of Thai boxing champs to the US and have them compete. I think we'll all learn a thing or two.
