  • sorry for me? i have trained in both muay thai and TKD and from experience i can assure you, thai kicks are more powerful...

  • One thing I can say is that REALISTICALLY, if you got into a fight on the street, if you were doing TKD, you'd be cutting out more that half of what you're trained to do, IF YOU KNOW HOW TO FIGHT, otherwise you'd be doing dumb shit like spinning back axe kicks at six people, cause it's apparently "powerful". If you were taught MT however, you'd be doing practically 95% of what you trained to do. Therefore, IMHO MT works better. It has more realistic applications, for more realistic scenarios.

  • I came for the "(awesome!)"

  • @hazardhanson At a beginner level Thai style is more powerful simply because it is a lot more natural and far easier to execute but after you have mastered any style, it comes down to the practitioner, not the art. Look at someone like Bren Foster. He is WTF taekwondo but he can kick as hard as any Thai boxer, in fact a lot harder than most.

    No better styles, only better players :)

  • @leftovaz Very true. Speaking for myself, in a real fight, I would probably not use MT kicks (maybe except the lowkick, and pushkick), since they are a bit too risky in my opinion. Knees and elbows are the core of close range fighting, though.

  • who the fuck says that tkd kicks are stronger than thai kicks?-.-

  • Imagine your on a disco floor, when it kicks off, MT, knee's and elbows are very effective,

    Tko, would struggle in close combat

  • the guys on the top comments are high as fuck

  • @hazardhanson tdk kicks with feet not shin like muay thai, muay thai is better

  • @hazardhanson Sorry for you, but taekwondo snap kicks are more more powerfull than muay thai full roundhouse when it comes to the head and the body kicks. A snap kick has a lot more penetration in the muscles.
