Muay Thai Fight Style And Becoming A Complete Fighter

A Muay Thai fight style can be broken down into something far more useful than the traditional Muay Thai styles such as Muay Bouk, Muay Matt, Muay Tae, Muay Khao, Muay Sok, Muay Plam, and Muay Fimue...

By understanding how the four fight modes and four fight ranges create a personal and highly adaptive overall fight style, you can evolve your fight IQ to beat whoever is in front of you.

your style is individual to you. It depends on your build, your athletic abilities, and of course your Muay Thai technical and tactical skills at the different fighting ranges.

Don’t limit yourself to a labelled fighting style!

The mix of possible fighting modes and ranges, using different Muay Thai techniques, makes for a far more sophisticated, personalised, and fluid style definition than simply calling yourself Muay Khao for example.

Styles do make fights, but it’s important to realise that no one style is the best.

[TheManInCommand]

Excellent video. I am recovering from a two year injury and video just increased My fire.

[MrDiamondWings]

I'm a pretty new, and pretty tall (195cm) muay thai practicioner, been having a bit of trouble finding out what works best. This helped a lot! Cheers!

[robbybee]

this is an interesting look at styles! I enjoy tactical breakdowns like this and so few people do them

[austingarmer]

The ABSOLUTE BEST summary of the muay thai fighting styles out there! Thank you very much sir!

[NewJerzeybabie]

Watching this RIGHT after sparring tonight and this is so helpful. I am so stiff and feel like I lean towards a lazy counter style. I will keep rewatching this 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

Very solid advice. This is the most comprehensive Muay Thai channel. Subbed. What this comes down to is fighting with your physique as Gabriel Varga discusses on his channel.

[dondawati]

If knees, elbows and kicks to the head of the grounded opponent is legal...mma fighters who specialize muay thai would dominate mma more

[Meteorman]

Good lord the is the best breakdown ever

[leozindumau]

I discovered your work today and have already become a fan. Greetings from Brasil!

[terrybuchanan]

spectac!
my favourite vid from you so far

[jacaneva]

You’re one of the few YouTube channels that I already know I’ll like the vid before I watch. This breakdown was great and it’s nice for me to compare with how boxing and mma describes styles. I think this concept is better as it requires you to define the 2 poles of fighting (fight “personality” and range) at all times. Whereas boxing’s “out-fighter” and “pressure fighter” for example each only describe 1 of the 2 poles. You could actually do a whole vid on what styles should be used to counter the others. That’d be fascinating. Thanks for the great content.

No one really fits completely in one category.
For short fighters, they usually tend to fight in close range, they could be a mixture of muay khao, Muay Mat, and Muay Sok

[CraigThomahawk]

Amazing Breakdown. I've been looking for a breakdown of they thai styles like this. Subbed.

[dre_withwithout]

I just appreciate that you brought up Muangthai<--- I love that guy.

[muayboran]

I trained Muay boran and muaythai for instense months. Because of this video i will find a muaythai class again

[sashadresden]

I loved how this video broke down the different traditional muay thai styles in a whole new way! One question I had, you broke down which of the four styles was effective against a specific one, for example Tricky is good against Counter, but there wasn't anything for what was good against Elusive.

Very Grateful For this ! Thanks for taking the time to make this!

[devinmoore]
