yes, yes it is.

i do muay thai and just dont pay attention to this guy he has made fundamental mistakes in ALL his videos and has no place doing videos on it.

firstly its not a hook, he is doing a body shot and doing them badly.

in boxing you can bob under and body shot, liek you said its not advisable in muay thai cause you will get a knee in the face.

but the body shot when done properly as part of a combo is a really nifty and damaging little punch and is a fave of mine

[McMIxTER]

its not a hook u old noob its uppercut

[glwithlife]

@mytimetravellingdog Not trying to say i know more then you, because i'm just getting into Muay thai, but i've seen it being called a hook on like 4 different sites now, and those were just the first 4 i looked on.

[FootBallChannel101]

im no muay thai expert but wont this get you a knee to the face?

@mytimetravellingdog well dont correct peoples perception on how he preforms these techniques correct them by making videos so they can visualize what properly formed techniques of muay thai looks like

@Defiant1901 but muay thai is still leathal if used correctly but yes i get your point:)

[FUSSYMUAYTHAI]

well said,however

you shouldnt be giving away for free all the deep details of boxing.

these people need to pay and pay high dollar so they respect and value what they are told and then they will appreciate the techniques more..

[Defiant1901]

@pacificswell which isn't to say it can't be used!!! I mean, if you're in a fight, you use what you know. But my point is that if you're training to counter people who use weapons, it's probably a better idea to learn a martial art that focusses on that, and that a martial art isn't 'rubbish' just because they don't have ring fights or competitions.

[Defiant1901]

@pacificswell I wouldn't claim it's the best; the best form of self defence is a semi-automatic rifle, but it is effective if your aim is to subdue your opponent without harming him. If we're talking effectiveness, the best would probably be Krav Maga. Muay Thai, like Sanda, Kickboxing and MMA is a derivative martial art designed mainly as a sport. As such, it isn't as effective in a real life situation, where your life may be threatened, as the original forms (Jiu-jitsu, Old Muay Thai, Kenpo...

@Defiant1901 aikido is not the best self defense but its all opinion for that matter. i will say ive sparred aikido guys with my muay thai style and yet to have one do any damage.

[Defiant1901]

@dukehitchcock I'm not sure where your point lies...Aikido is one of the best self-defense techniques, as it requires very little power to subdue your opponent. Actually, several polices forces over the globe use it. Muay thai and boxing are poor choices for pure self defense; they're both derived forms designed for sport. Krav Maga users do not have a competition form: sparring is very strictly regulated, and NOT full contact, as it is extremely violent and very often lethal...

he leaves an opening for an uppercut or a elbow to the back of the head.
