TKD: yay I scored a point Muay Thai : is my opponent dead?

As someone who's done taekwondo for a while and slowly getting into Muay Thai, I've already seen the huge difference between the two. Taekwondo is at the moment watered down so much that it's essentially a sport. And Muay Thai is definitely superior for fighting. Ever since I let one person who does Muay Thai kick me I've been insanely obsessed considering before that I'd never been hurt by a kick. Taekwondo is a great base fighting style if you want to branch off, the flexibility has helped tremendously with my Muay Thai learning experience. Overall, if you want exercise and to build your body for sports or later branch out, go for taekwondo. If you want to be able to fight then go for Muay Thai, those damn kicks hurt like nobody's business.

Imagine waking up the next morning after you took those kicks...

Muaythai used to be one of the 1-1 weapon in the war of Siam long times ago, so that why it is so powerful and brutal.

Taekwondo:so beautiful Muay thai:be careful

"The more clothes you have on, the worse you fight." - Sun Tzu - The Art of War

If the elbow was allowed, I wouldn't have imagined it.🤣

Learn "TKD" for go to play in Olympic. Learn "Muay-Thai" for use in your "Real Life"!!

When you get a standing fight, boxing and muay thai are the best . no doubt.

1:04 funny moment when you realize your opponent's stomach is a wall

Why most of the videos I watch where other martial arts face Muay Thai practitioners, its Muay Thai that has to abide under some special rules/conditions. That goes to show you Muay Thai is a beast!! Martial artists....fight under Muay Thai rules (8 limbs, throws) then you can really see where you are in your style(s).

I don’t see how you can test a fighting style against another with special rules designed to limit techniques to body shots and trips. What a waste of time.

Cómo practicante de Kung fu Sanda puedo decir que lo mejor que he visto como arte marcial fue el Muai Thai, está lleno de luchadores muy duros, ágiles y flexibles

If Muay Thai can use a elbow will end the game in 30 sec.

They aren’t even high level Muay Thai, imagine Seanchai or Sitthichai fight these TKD guys.

11:00 kick....... 😍😍😍😍😍 I like Muay Thai the most.

I'm sure tkd have some strong kicks but I feel the legs and body are no wear near as conditioned as someone who does muay thai.

"sir, i already kicked him.. why he still fighting?" taekwondo be like

The feeling after a few muay thai low kicks makes leg day feel like a massage.

I also have a friend that's from Thailand and the stuff I watched him do when he trained I'm very impressed

taekwondo shoot to score muay thai is to shoot to kill.

I've been a Taekwondo practitioner 23 years I'm impressed with that Muay Thai kickboxing there are some good Fighters

I used to practice Tae Kwon Do back in 1984 to 1988. We used to compete in internal tournaments as well as in open ones to different types of martial arts. After few years of being away of formal training or competition, I was shocked when I saw what Tae Kwon Do has become. Is being demoted to something that can participate into Olympics, but lost it's essence as a martial art.

11:01 this guy literally got GTA kicked into the ground

If anyone practices Muay Thai It will increase your defense a lot.

Taekwondo is local gym play , Muay Thai is world class . Best Taekwondo will lose against C level Thai if fight in Muay Thai .

1 on 1 head on fight is always about psychology. Taekwondo's sparring style was always on either attack or avoid being attacked. Lack of a defense system. That's an obvious weakness and when he gets hit, his confidence lowered. A full contact fighter cannot just depend on Taekwondo skills to win a full contact match. This is how the Taekwondo community had brought up its martial art. The World Taekwondo Championship is just a scoring game now.

Taekwondo (speed ,sharp kicks)+Muai Thai(knee,elbow and heavy kicks) = deadly fighter

เป้าจุดประสงค์ ของการฝึกนั้นต่างกัน ผลลัพธ์ย่อมออกมาต่างกัน และยังมีประสบการณ์การสู้จริงของแต่ละศิลปะนั้น ต่างกัน คนที่เคยโดนศอกโดนเข่ามันต้องสร้างเสริมร่างกายให้แข็งแกร่งมากกว่าหลายขั้นอยู่แล้ว ด้วยความต่างของความแกร่งของร่างกายแค่นักมวยไทย แค่ยกการ์ดให้ถูกจังหวะก็คู่ต่อสู้ขาหักได้แล้ว

Muay Thai, low kicks, mid range kicks and knees are devastating.....

Taekwondo (both ITF and WTF though I'm talking about ITF) is not bad,it just needs to adapt,like having full contact sparring,having less focus on the "forms" that you must learn (a series of moves that you need to execute during the taekwondo exams in order to get the next belt) because you never use most of them in sparring and a lot of them make no sense.

Legs kick specially from a MT guy is always devastating and enough to break your courage.

30ปีก่อน เอานักมวยไทยไปแข่งเทควอนโด ไทยเตะเจาะยางนักกีฬาเกาหลีเจ็บขาจนลุกไม่ขึ้นแพ้ไปหลายคน จนไอ้หลีเปลี่ยนกติกามาใช้ใส่เกราะไฟฟ้าแล้วนับคะแนน เพราะถ้าใช้กติกาเทควันโด้เดิมๆ มันโดนไทยเตะขายางแตกแพ้ยกทีมอีกแน่ๆ5555

Those who invented TKD as a self defense practice did so without much sense of brutal reality. On the contrary, Muay Thai is quite a highly effective, practical martial art.

The first taekwondo black belt must think "all these years to be destroyed only by a left medium kick,am i a fighter??"

muay thai is killing technique Taekwondo is a sport

Some martial arts fell like just a form of ballet. Others, like Muay Thai, is serious stuff.

There’s a clear line between art and combat

Thanks for the explanations during the video!

Now, people know that martial art that ready for real fight condition, the on and only,.. Muaythai..

เสร็จงานนี่ เทควันโดแต่ละคนล้วนไปกราบครูมวยไทยเป็นอาจารย์กันหมด ฮา

Muay Thai was not found for sport, it was found for war.

That leg kick is beast!

Fight 4, taekwondo guy did not fight like you’d expect a black belt to fight...

11:01 holy sh*t......

It can be seen on MMA. More fighters learn MuayThai as one of their basic than Taekwondo. Taekwondo kick is powerfull for range fight, no doubt, but its weak on close range fight, tkd fighter doesnt know how to use a leg part in clinch but muaythai fighter does (use knee), and the most important thing of all is muaythai doesnt use body parts as weapon only but armor too. Tkd VS MT is look like a warrior + spear VS warrior + armor + shield + blunt

This Video was very entertaining, thanks

Nowadays I feel like tae kwan do is definitely more for sport, focusing on speed and flexibility for point scoring. Muay Thai is very practical for real fighting with the focus more on power and follow through for your kicks. Which is why they hurt like hell. When I hold the pads for my Muay thai classmates I still feel the their shinbone landing. It’s a scary amount of power

ถ้าเก่งทำไมห้ามโน่นนั้นนี่. มวยไทยต่อยได้หมด ยกเว้นหัวโขก..20-30ปี ต่างประเทศลองของมาหมดแล้วว่า มวยไทยเก่งจริงไม ผลคือ จำเลขที่บ้านไม่ได้....,

Muay thai the art of 8 limbs use their entire body as a weapon and as armor too... Thats the art of muay thai ma boy

13:30 the definition of "take the shot and make him pay"

The 5 match is heavyweight vs lightweight, it is mismatch but still the smaller guy manage to win

As a Taekwondo practitioner, I always had a habit of sacrificing speed for power, and my instructors would remind me of it, so seeing a TKD in a ring not using his full strength was strange to say the least...

There is what i call the 4 best styles for actual combat and Mui Tai is one of them but also various styles of Silat,kali/escrima and a little known system of Ancient Roman fighting.BJJ isnt on my list for a variety of reasons however ive added some Judo as ground fighting is needed but thanks for the advice.

I studied TKD he needed to pull those kicks back faster. MT is not pretty it's brutal.

Trận đấu đầu tiên tôi không nhận thấy bất kì lực nào ở những cú đá Taekwondo của anh ấy ngược lại Muay Thái có vẻ nhỉnh hơn khi vừa có thể phòng thủ vừa có thể tấn công dường như Muay Thái sinh ra là để khắc chế Taekwondo

Taekwondo kick to score..Muay Thai kick to kill ...Sprint causes energy loss .. If Muay Thai has but does not do it because it will be attacked.

Muay Thai(power) + Taekwondo(speed) = Ultimate Fighter. Keep in mind that everything depends on a martial artist, not on a martial art itself. And do not limit your self to one fighting style. Always be open minded. Honestly, point scoring taekwondo has 0 chances against deadly muay thai. It all depends on how you train. If both tkd and mt fighters had the same training(fighting to hurt the opponent, not to score a point), that would be an interesting fight to watch, and I couldn't tell who would win in such a fight.

why no elbows? muay thai was known for knees and elbows strikes

I’ve done TaekwonDo, both ITF and WTF, for about 6 years. At this point WTF is just a sport to score points.

2:00 true definition of kick ass

I think taekwondo should be precise for distance and momentum. if it is too close it will be very easily broken by the opponent. and for muay Thai they have a strong defensive technique even though they are hit by a heavy kick, they can still defend with their raised arms and can catch the opponent's leg. Taekwondo's fault is to boast about their kicks. kicking is easy to train because it's already hard. but it's very easy to overcome. Just take one step forward to avoid a hard kick

All good... peace and love

Having a couple TKD kicks in your arsenal can help in a Muay Thai fight, since the open stance can leave them open to power kicks straight down the center, but that's only with a shit ton of cross-training in boxing or Muay Thai. Aside from that that, after a couple good chops to the legs, that's your entire arsenal gone if you just walk in there with just a TKD black belt to your name.

That's like throwing butter into a brick wall.

Muay Thai is definitely more brutal than TKD, however I have seen where due to how Muay Thai limits the kicks that it uses, some of the fighters do not know how to handle the spinning and awkward TKD kicks. Kwonkicker went to Thailand and fought in a MT match, ended up winning with a spinning back kick to the liver. At the end of the day, depends on the practitioner IMO. WTF TKD is not meant for anything but sport/olympic. ITF is a bit for aggressive.

very good video.

I feel bad for the guy in the second clip. That Muay Thai dude's just playing with him

MT was designed to take pain and inflict pain to its opponent with maximum impact force other arts is for showing off only, nice pattern for movie making, in real life, it is a disadvantage against MT

great breakdowns and the background music was very nice and bearable.

Muay Thai fighters got legs of steel.

2:26 the moment that we know muay thai guy not serious....

จุดแข็งมวยไทยคือความอึดทนยืนระยะได้ เหลี่ยมจัด ตัวเล็กกว่าแต่ยืนแลกสบาย555ทำคนทั้งโลกอึ้ง

The amazing fighter is the proficient nak muay who has also mastered a few taekwondo kicks to mix up his aggression, especially when someone is backing away

Great video

This is why I want to learn Muay Thai

Music is cool but I love hearing the crowd in these type of fights. They really are focused and observe the Techniques displayed and it’s fun hearing their excitement especially in Japan

Imagine getting kick by an muay thai champ?

In a fight, there are times for heavy kick and also for fast kick. Which one is best is depends on the timing. Both can be lethal. No need to take side, but observe and learn from each weaknesses and advantages accordingly.

La fuerte contextuara y la poderosa patada lateral del peleador de Muay Tay ha la gran diferencia

Elbow 1 minute 💥😵💫 KO

If you just look at the different impacts the tkd kick had vs the muay thai kick you'll see the difference. Muay thai kicks are rarely there to poke (maybe the front teep sometimes) and always got intent behind it. The tkd "jabby" kicks seem to do very little to the guy who's used to getting ribkicked and hard punched thrown to his abs whereas the mt kicks are hurting his opponent every time.

Wow,amazing strength on his calfs,conditioning them with bamboo trees kicking 😱🙏🏻🔥💖😍💪🏼💪🏾💪

It’s about the MARTIAL ARTIST, not always the martial art. I’m a 3’rd degree black belt in Taekwondo, I also come from a Shotokan and Hapkido background as well. I’ve fought three Muay Thai guys on the streets and have beat each one. It was a street fight and everything was allowed. Guy tried to clinch me after giving me a proper straight punch, he got a uppercut elbow to the chin, KO. Second guy foot swept me, I fell, he rushed, I got up quicker than he anticipated and gave him a jumping snapping front kick to the face, he was done. Second guy lower teeped me, hurt like a bitch, learned his pattern and the second time he did it I grabbed his leg and kicked his other leg out from underneath him, he got up we traded some blows, I gave him a reverse side kick to the stomach, he hesitated for a sec,got his wind back, I gave him a leg kick faint, he blocked low and dropped his hands, I lunged and was able to grab his head and gave him a really hard elbow to the temple followed by a hard side kick to the chest, he went down like a sack of potatoes, tried to get back up and fell again, his friends told him to stay down. Muay Thai is good and so is Taekwondo. Just not the Mcdojo crap. And once again, it’s about the martial artist and not necessarily the martial art. Some people are stronger, powerful, faster, quicker reflexes, higher fight IQ than others and all of these things have NOTHING to do with your style, but has everything to do with the individual. I don’t think people realize it but there are a LOT of Kickboxing champions that came from Taekwondo backgrounds. Most kickboxers are either Taekwondo Muay Thai, or Karate, (mostly Kyokushin Karate). If those discipline weren’t effective then they wouldn’t exist in kickboxing.

I am a Taekwondo practitioner, and i really like your analysis. Sadly Taekwondo turn into a more score point style :'/ but the style is constantly changing and adapting, that's the spirit of every martial art!! ;)

Real Thai boxing has to punch his elbow's feet.

THANK CONGRATULATIONS FIGH MUAY TAHIS SUPERI OS VERI AMAZING FIGTH

Great! !!

แค่การฝึกซ้อมมันก็ต่างกันเยอะแล้ว ฝึกหนักของ Tkd มันต่างจากฝึกหนักของมวยไทยมากๆ

I give both martial arts respect. But I am much more on practicality(Martial) than sparring(art).

Reading most of the comments i must say the majority doesnt seem to understand that its the experience and skill of the fighter which decides who's the better fighter...not the martial art !

very good

I did tae kwon do for a while when I was teenager, and for my experience I respect those kicks, it’s mostly all they do kick all day , but it lacks on foot work and hand strikes. I might work on the street against an untrained opponent, but it might no be the best on a professional arena against a trained a fighter

Tkd is a knife muay thai is a gun. Never bring a knife to a gunfight

Thank you

Martial arts has evolved since them fight and will continue to.

Both martial arts are amazing. If you want to be a great fighter, do mma don't limit yourself.

ที่เห็น คือมวยอื่นชอบแบ็คคิคบ่อยมาก(มากถึงมากสุด) มวยไทยก็มีจระเข้ฟาดหาง แต่จริงๆนะไม่ค่อยเห็นใช้ อาจเพราะไม่อยากหันหลังให้คู่ต่อสู้ขณะชกกระมัง

Even though i was never a martial artist i often used roundhouse kicks in my fights. I don't know how i learnt it, it sorta felt like a natural way to kick
