hi ,
i just wondered if muay thai and muay boran/lethwei are the same in some respects , well what i mean is that i wanted to find out about muay boran and found out some techs tha muay boran does:
the shovel kick
headbuts
i also found out that muay boran fighters fight in a sandpit and fight with "rope" handwraps
however i learned the shovel kick in muay thai a while ago (althought at the time i just thought it was a low round kick with a step before it) and i heard someone saying about headbuts in muay thai.
so i was just wondered if it wasnt for the gloves used in muay thai and the ring instead of a sandpit are muay thai and muay boran the same?
im not sayin they ARE the same im just asking if (apart from the rules , gloves and wai kru) they are the same "technique wise":idunno:
just a theory i thoght of
any coments apreciated
chris
p.s. also i read somewhere that muay boran (or muay thai cant remember which) can use any part of the body to strike (i wouldent know for sure as i have not yet entered competition , i learned muay thai for self defence , to get fit , and for a hobby , however i will be entering competition soon hopefull)
