Why is Muay Thai so powerful, but its UFC players are few?

Muay Thai claims to be the world's number one in standing fighting at most, but dare not say it is the world's number one in fighting.

Muay Thai mainly includes standing fist, leg, knee and elbow attack.

But UFC is not like this. In addition to standing fighting, it also includes wrestling and anti-joint capture.

Of course, if there is a big gap between the two sides, their UFC players are still no match for Muay Thai.

However, if the level of the two sides is close, especially UFC players are also good at standing fighting, then Muay Thai players will suffer a big loss and it is difficult to win.

Because UFC can wrestle the anti-joint when the two sides are close, Muay Thai fighters can't restrain themselves, so they can only expect to move quickly at close range and hit KO opponents with their elbows.

But since the other party is also a master, there are natural ways to deal with you.

Then, it is difficult for Muay Thai players to cope with wrestling and anti-joint capture, and it is difficult to win.

Let's take a look at the initial fight between China Sanda and Muay Thai. Although Sanda players are obviously weaker than Muay Thai players in standing combat, Muay Thai players are quite embarrassed and unable to cope because of the way of throwing.

In fact, apart from unrestricted fighting, UFC fighting is closer to actual combat.

Although Muay Thai is tough, it can't be dealt with in actual combat or when encountering UFC in the street.

If nothing else, I'll give you a wrestling on the concrete floor. Can you stand up?

At that time, the Soviet Union carefully studied the martial arts of all countries in the world, hoping to teach soldiers and agents the most practical martial arts.

In the end, the Soviets did the military three treasures, and the core was kicking and wrestling.

And the samurai in ancient China, there is real kung fu. Take the Eight Banners Guards in Manchuria and Mongolia in Qing Dynasty as an example. They are all three fists and two feet. They can do hard work, to put it bluntly, wrestling.

Wrestling is something that a big fellow can practice in a year or two, which is worth four or five years.

After the founding of New China, martial artists were organized to revive Chinese martial arts. When we study the study area, we think that boxing is the most practical in China.

1953 Chinese wrestling was officially listed as a sport in China, but it was cancelled in 1990s.

It is said that Chinese wrestling is difficult to practice and easy to get hurt. The most important thing is not the Olympic gold medal, so it's gone.

Those who practiced Chinese wrestling ended up practicing judo.

Things handed down by our ancestors for 5,000 years are lost.

China is full of fucking Muay Thai gymnasiums, Taekwondo gymnasiums, Judo gymnasiums and boxing gymnasiums, but there is no real fighting martial arts school in China.

There are so many people in China, why can't they enter the World Cup?

The same reason! Muay Thai is considered as a national sport in Thailand. Muay Thai players have a high status in the hearts of the Thai people and are very concerned. Muay Thai is also very popular. In addition, Thailand is full of various competitions. Taking part in Muay Thai training may be the only way out for poor children. Many Thais have been sent to the Muay Thai Hall for training since childhood, and they have been supporting their families since they were 6 or 7 years old! Many muay Thai gymnasiums are dilapidated, but they can cultivate the champion of Longpini, which is the proudest title of Thai people.

That Muay Thai is highly respected in standing fighting, and it is the best fighting technique used in Muay Thai human weapons. There are leg sweeps in the middle and long distance, and fists, elbows and knees in the middle and short distance. Muay Thai emphasizes rigidity and fierceness, and its lethality is absolutely the best among all standing fighting techniques, without one! In 1980s and early 1990s, Chinese Sanda athletes just resumed international exchanges and competitions and met Thai boxers. The reason is not a technical problem. The main problem is to confront the national Sanda team. We can't resist the blow, let alone the elbows and knees. After several heavy blows, we couldn't hold on. Sanda mainly relies on winning points and skills, and meets Muay Thai.

That Muay Thai is so powerful, why doesn't MMA (mixed fighting) world top UFC have a Thai boxer? ! In fact, the reason is very simple, but you may not know it. Let me popularize it a little.

At present, domestic Muay Thai gyms are everywhere in Thailand, but the real MMA training gyms are mainly concentrated in the capital Bangkok, the tourist city Pattaya, Phuket and Chiang Mai, which are basically run by foreigners. For example, the famous AKA training hall is opened by Mike Swick, a former middleweight boxer of UFC in the United States, a branch of AKA in the United States, a top team in Phuket, a Tiger Boxing Hall opened by Thai people themselves, and several in Pattaya and Chiang Mai. These MMA boxing gyms are mainly aimed at foreigners going to Thailand. The training price is unbearable for ordinary poor people in Thailand, so they will not choose to train MMA. Poor thing! Thai boxing hall is very cheap. Even if you sign up for the boxing gym, you don't need money at all, and you still care about eating. Then Thai people will definitely play Muay Thai, and they can earn money to support their families at an early age. There are too few MMA competitions, and Europeans and Americans are not allowed to participate in professional MMA competitions at the age of 6 or 7.

I went to the top teams in Phuket and met Zhang Lipeng and Li Bailin who trained there all the year round.

Another important reason is that MMA competition has been banned and illegal in Thailand for a long time. As far as I know, the Thai people may be trying to protect the hegemony of Muay Thai. It must have been liberalized in recent years. However, in the eyes of Thai people, Muay Thai is a national sport, and MMA is just something for foreigners to play. At present, Muay Thai players only play one champion, and it is only a matter of time before landing in UFC. In Aka, Phuket, a large number of UFC fighters have gathered in the Tiger Muay Thai Hall. In particular, Tiger, Peter Yan, Russian experts have got the golden belt, Dan Hook, Black Dragon and Qian Ma Pang, and a large number of UFC masters have been training in Thailand all the year round, and Russian bullet girls have been training in Tiger Muay Thai Hall all the year round. With the increasing popularity of UFC, it can be expected that MMA events will become more and more popular in Thailand with the increasing popularity of ONE championship in Southeast Asia and the holding of high-level competitions in Thailand. Thailand has never lacked talents with good fighting talent. In addition, the world's top MMA boxing gym sponsors more local Thai players, and more Thai boxers will appear in UFC in the future. This is not a problem at all. It is impossible for Thais to win the UFC championship.

Our two percussion coaches in China and Zhang Weili are Thai, so it is entirely possible for Thailand to cultivate its own golden belt in time. Let's wait and see!

I can only tell you that in fact, the rules are played out and the rules create achievements. Some people say that Muay Thai is the strongest boxing in the world, which is extremely superficial knowledge. The strongest boxing in the world is the best among the armies of all countries in the world. For example, fighting never cares who the opponent is, but only cares about a moment to decide life and death.

Muay Thai is really good, especially leg sweeping, knee stroke and elbow stroke. Ufc is the world's top fighting event, and all the players are killers. Although no Muay Thai players have entered ufc, most of them have practiced Muay Thai, which is beyond doubt. Generally, they will have boxing coaches, muay Thai coaches and jujitsu coaches. Many ufc players were born as wrestlers and trained in Muay Thai.

Muay Thai's leg sweeping is really popular, but its boxing method is not good, so traditional Muay Thai fighters can't adapt to the modern free fighting rhythm at all. Like Bo Qiu, Stichai and Subobong, they have all studied boxing, and their styles of play are also different from traditional Thai boxing.

Playing basketball is the best in NBA, fighting is the worst in ufc, and it is still very good for Americans. Bruce Lee has long proposed that fighting should break the rules and absorb the fighting concept of a hundred schools of thought contending. Ufc is like this. The training method of human in UFC is scientific and effective, which brings human speed, endurance, explosiveness and coordination to the extreme. The players here seem to have got through the second pulse of Ren Du, and their fighting level is very high. It's not that I admire others. Mouth guns, nightmares and diamonds are all first-class masters. Of course, China's combat power is also rising, such as Li, Li, Li and Li. They are all excellent. After a while, UFC will come to China again, expecting China's power to break out on the world stage.

Muay Thai is really powerful, but there are very few fighters in ufc who use Muay Thai as the main technique for the simple reason. Because I'm not used to it.

Mixed martial arts is a sport that is very close to real unarmed combat.

If the level is high or low, it will be quickly defeated by boxing and leg, but there is not much difference between the levels, and wrestling skills will gain a dominant position in the ground, or the two sides will roll into the ground in a stalemate. On the ground, there will also be jujitsu or boxing techniques.

So there's a problem. Fighters who are good at wrestling will try to get close to you, twist you on the ground as a sandbag, and then rub it on the ground. Therefore, a fighter who is good at both fists and feet and afraid of ground fighting must know how to avoid falling by his opponent, so the fall prevention comes out. The strongest anti-fall technology is moving.

The most famous case of a standing fighter against a wrestler is the first defeat of Rhonda Rossi, the Queen of the Cross.

Holyholm, who was born in boxing, kept moving and hitting with precise fists. In that game, the cross-solid queen, who has won more than a dozen consecutive victories, was beaten again and again like a helpless child, but she never caught Holyholm. When I was finally knocked down and stood up, I couldn't even figure out the direction and was swept by a KO.

We might as well put aside the gap between men and women in magnitude and strength and discuss it purely from the technical characteristics. Bo Qiu is a top Muay Thai player who is familiar to everyone. What if Bo Qiu is dealing with the Queen? With the technical characteristics of Bo Qiu, is it difficult to avoid being caught by the Queen?

So the answer to the question came out. Because Thai boxing is too slow. Boxers of the same size are not practicing Thai boxing. Doesn't mean you can't handle three punches and two feet. Resist you a few more times, and you're finished.

Muay Thai Sangongbu is the power technique of sweeping and kicking in Muay Thai. The mainstream mixed martial arts players' skills are kicking and landing. Do a good job of falling prevention, don't be afraid of hitting the ground, and don't be hit on the ground.

People have limited energy, limited time and limited talent. You can't have both precise boxing and boxing and a top wrestler. As soon as you get on the ground, you immediately rub people like Winton Maya. Therefore, all types of boxers will avoid competing with their opponents in areas where they are not good at. The biggest problem of Muay Thai technique is ① moving too slowly. ② The ability of middle-distance confrontation is insufficient.

Your opponent is far away, Yuto. In the middle distance, try to restrain the sweeping kick of Muay Thai, and throw it as soon as the distance is close. No one stands like Bo Qiu and becomes Winton as soon as he hits the ground.

But are there any fighters who take Muay Thai as their main stance technique? The answer is yes. Top-notch Spider-Man.

The ground in Spider-Man is also very strong, but the spider's Muay Thai skills are not quite like Muay Thai. He made up for this with his super-high reaction and extremely exaggerated flexibility. Spider-Man was caught by his opponent when he was sweeping and kicking. Boxers who play boxing dodge by moving, while spiders can dodge by leaning back and twisting their waists left and right by virtue of their talent. This can ensure that the middle distance does not fall in the wind. That's the point. However, there are too few fighters with this talent, and the shortcomings of Muay Thai's short-range confrontation ability and slow movement are magnified. So in ufc, there are few Muay Thai techniques.

In fact, when kicking was popular in the 1980s and 1990s. Muay Thai has no advantage in playing against the Japanese. In the old k 1 era, only in 2004 did Bo Qiu win the gold belt with Muay Thai as a technique. In 2006, Bo Qiu, who avenged KO on Andy Suva (a representative figure of Dutch boxing, developed on the basis of Japanese boxing), is no longer a pure Muay Thai technique, and his boxing method has been greatly enhanced. Losing to Suva in 2005 was just a bad boxing skill. Although Suva was suppressed on the spot, Suva's Yuto and precise hitting finally made Bo Qiu lose to the point.

Existence is reasonable. In other words: Muay Thai technology rarely appears in ufc because it is unreasonable.

Muay Thai is great, but there are few UFC players. The fundamental reason is that Muay Thai is mainly based on standing skills, lacking the technology of actively pulling opponents to the ground and fighting on the ground. After all, Muay Thai also originated from ancient military technology. In ancient wars, soldiers wore armor and held knives in their hands. Falling to the ground meant death. Therefore, Muay Thai is mainly based on posture skills, and it is the top to kill the opponent while maintaining the balance of posture. Throughout the development of martial arts in the world, there is basically no ground wrestling technique in ancient martial arts, except that ancient Japanese samurai also learned jujitsu in order to capture their opponents alive (many techniques, such as "catching without a knife" and "going into the white blade empty-handed"). After all, the martial arts in the contemporary world are different from those in the ancient battlefield. In particular, The Gracie Family gave full play to his jujitsu skills on the field, which made people realize the importance of comprehensive fighting. Whether standing or lying on the ground, they have coping skills. Jiu Jitsu's throwing skills and sleeping skills often have the final effect in one-on-one competitions, and successful display can make opponents lose their fighting power instantly. This also reminds me of the words of Mr. Bruce Lee, the founder of Jeet Kune Do, that fighting begins with standing and ends on the ground. This is undoubtedly a very advanced consciousness in an era when sects have serious opinions and stand skills and jujitsu do not intersect with each other.

Haha, someone is discussing this genre again. I am an amateur. I compared the famous athletes in various competitions according to myself. The champions in k 1 were Peter Aerts who kicked boxing, mark hunter who boxed boxing, andy hug who was karate, Sammy Siette who was a rugby player, and Bob Sapp, who killed several masters with turtle boxing and ended up with milk from free boxing. Milk's most famous defeat was defeated by Fidel who practiced Sambo. In unrestricted fighting, Brazilian jujitsu is unique, but there are also countless defeats. Muay Thai was born in overeem, and fought on two fronts, k 1 and ufc, with a good record. It killed a very popular champion. Dabu and Dabu were born in wwe. There is also an athlete who has achieved a certain record, Marius, whose main attack direction is Hercules. Some people say, what do you mean by giving so many examples? In my opinion, there is no best genre at all, only the best people.

Boxing, Muay Thai, wrestling and baroness represent the mainstream of all fighting techniques. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages, and whoever practices to the extreme will be powerful. Relatively speaking, boxing is simple, while Barrow's method is the most complicated. As far as street practice is concerned, boxing is the most suitable, which is not affected by the size of space, the number of people and whether it is armed or not. The ground is dry, slippery and sharp, and it is not easy to fall off balance and jump off quickly without strength. As far as the ultimate fighting in the ring is concerned, Barrow is the most suitable, because it can't be killed, so locking technology is the best ending technology.

Muay Thai is very powerful, even claiming to be unbeaten for 500 years. It is indeed a leader in standing combat. It can't be said that Muay Thai wins every time, but because of his elbow and knee, it's no exaggeration to say that he is the best in standing fighting. Most of the China players in the previous Sino-Thai competition were defeated by these two techniques. Of course, China was also badly beaten.

But UFC mixed fighting is not just standing fighting, it includes all the skills of standing, as well as ground skills, wrestling, judo and so on. It can be said that mixed martial arts is the most awesome part of the fighting festival. Generally, boxers or boxers with strange standing positions don't go back to play mixed martial arts. Of course, this is not the advantage of Muay Thai, because Muay Thai doesn't hit the ground, not to mention many standing experts play UFC, so these UFC players are also very powerful in standing fighting.

Many muay Thai players are hard to be famous, and it is not easy for them to stand out, because Thailand is so powerful, mainly because of its national conditions. Many of them practiced Muay Thai since childhood, and finally they became famous. They won't easily change to mixed martial arts, and even if they do, they won't play games, let alone UFC.

Hello, everyone, I am a martial arts enthusiast. Attention, friends passing by. Your support is my greatest motivation. If there are any shortcomings in this article, please leave a message for advice. Thank you very much.

Muay Thai is a kind of fighting skill that attacks the fist, legs, elbows and knees, and is also called the strongest standing fighting skill. In the way of kicking boxing, Muay Thai is also very fierce. Sweep your legs, tuck your knees and kick your fists. Elbows are not allowed. UFC is a comprehensive fighting competition, which can use fighting techniques such as Muay Thai, Sanda, boxing and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. If Muay Thai is played in UFC, the standing blow is very strong and the ground skills are almost impossible.

Muay Thai has a reputation of being unbeaten for 500 years. Professional muay Thai fighters have a physical quality like steel bars, and are famous for their heavy fists, legs, knees and elbows. At present, Muay Thai players are famous for their athletes such as Yasankeli, Kao and Kao.

Muay Thai players have to learn ground fighting skills when they play in UFC. Learn the ground fighting skills OK, then carry out actual combat, and then play in UFC. The battle of UFC was also chosen by UFC executives.

UFC players are top fighters from all over the world. There are top boxers and top contortionists. Like Connor, he is a master of standing and hitting, and his ground fighting skills are slightly weak. Like the eagle, it is hard wrestling and ground wrestling. Playing in UFC is not easy. Muay Thai players are still developing in the competition between free fighting and Muay Thai rules!
