Muay Thai vs Muay Boran difference of Martial Arts
A great introductory explanation as to the differences between old and new and the focus within the various regions that make up the Muay Boran and Muay Thai art. I like your philosophy around appreciation for the two Mike Soto 👍🏾.
Hi Mike, at the 10 minutes Mark you're discussing the elbow and kicks. I remember when I first broke my foot in training. Doing roundhouse kicks, following knees from a neck clinch. Stepping to and turning my partner round whilst holding their neck, spinning and releasing them, quickly followed by a hard round kick onto two pads. My foot went round the pad and hit the guys elbow. My shin kick was sound but my foot was knackered. He didn't tuck his elbow in behind the pad. My foot went purple and black in the days after. for sure broken and struggling to walk. Some weeks later he kicked my elbow in the same way. He ruined his foot too. The foot is no match for the elbow. It's all fun until it's not fun! Lol!
Muay Boran was a militaristic form of fighting and Muay Thai is seen more as a National Sport.
Looking forward to more of these!
If you want an efficient fight system, modern sport muaythai is the only way to go. Ignore muay boran.
