do the kicks in muay thai make it worth taking over boxing? does muay thai have the same type of evasive maneuvers as boxing or do muay thai guys just take the kicks and punches? i know that boxing teaches you to get out of the way of a punch but from what i have seen muay thai guys are always just taking the kicks to the legs over and over instead of trying to evade them.
im trying to see which of these 2 styles would be the better to take for self defense.i know that it is said that no one style is better then any other,but i have to wonder when it comes to boxing vs muay thai.
boxing has no kicks but teaches great evasive maneuvers.muay thai has kicks but seems to take punishment because they don't seem to evade kicks.boxing seems inadequate to deal with defending against kicks but muay thai does not seem to be better at this because of just taking the kicks which in the long run would really beat a persons body down.these are some of the pros and cons that i have been thinking about.
so what are your thoughts about which is the better of the 2 styles for self defense and why do you think what you? like i said,i know that everyone says that there is no style is better then the other but im just asking for you all to weigh out the positives and negatives against each other for boxing and muay thai so that i can determine which one comes out on top for self defense on the street.
also,what are the differences between how a boxer punches and how a muay thai guy punches? what are the pro's and con's of each?
