How strong is the actual combat and lethality of Muay Thai?

Let's talk about the lethality of Muay Thai first. According to the traditional Wushu theory, Kung Fu can be divided into two categories, internal and external, and there are three training methods, namely, literary training, martial training and horizontal training.

Orthodox Muay Thai belongs to the most extreme horizontal practice in external boxing. Mainly through the reaction to objects to strengthen the body, improve the tolerance of various parts of the body to strong impact. The training method is cruel, easy to accumulate dark wounds, and the typical greed and quick pursuit, but it also gains amazing fighting and punching ability.

Elbow and knee are the hardest parts of human upper and lower limbs, which are paid more attention to in Muay Thai training. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a steel knee and an iron elbow. A well-trained Thai boxer's sweeping kick and knee strike can break the opponent's bones, which is very biting and can be said to be easy for ordinary people to deal with.

The strength of professional Muay Thai elbow can reach two tons, and a knee bump is equivalent to a car hitting 56 kilometers per hour. Most people in China know Muay Thai on the surface. They have only seen Muay Thai in the ring and think that Muay Thai is elbow and knee. There were many moves in ancient Muay Thai. They also practice Qigong very well. There are many uses of weapons in ancient Muay Thai ... In short, many people only know the fur of Muay Thai, and real kung fu is hard to see.

Although the lethality is amazing, it does not mean that Muay Thai is invincible and impeccable.

Not to mention the problem that its unscientific training methods often make boxers pay the health price. In addition to the lethality, the attack and defense techniques of Muay Thai are relatively simple and even a little rough. Although the momentum is strong, the connection and rhythm of a series of moves are inferior, and the footwork is rootless. It is easy to suffer when you meet experienced and resourceful practitioners.

If you have practiced Sanda, you will know that due to the foundation of traditional Wushu and the cooperation of hand, eye and body movements, Sanda is much more delicate and comprehensive in these aspects.

I once watched a Thai boxing practitioner compete with a classical wrestling practitioner. The man who practices Muay Thai has a heavy fist, and usually three or four people are not his opponents. But this time, as long as he pesters himself, his fists, knees and elbows can't be played out, and his feet are not as solid as others. After more than a minute, he was dumped by his opponent three or four times in a row. Finally, he even struggled to get up. The average Sanda athlete, facing the same opponent, is at least not so at a loss in playing.
