Kickboxing Muay what is the difference between american kickboxing and muay thai?
technique wise not compatition rule wise i now more about muay thai than american kickboxing and would like to learn more about it so whats the deal do they use different kicks punching what is american kickboxing based on etc thanks
1st off american kickboxing was derived from full contact karate so a lot of techniques are similar to karate
kicking differences
-thai boxers typically kick with there shin, while kickboxer use their feet.
-thai boxers use their hips and the torque of their body to generate power for their kicks, kickboxers tend to chamber their kicks and "snap" their kicks. usually less powerfull but faster than thai.
-thai boxers mainly use the push kick and the roundhouse, while full contact tend to use more kicks like spin kicks, front kick, sidekick, back kick ect...
*note none of these are exclusive to each style but just a trend
rules
-thai boxing rules can use kness and elbows, full contact kickboxing cannot
-there is a kicking minimum for full contact kickboxing if you do not reach the requirement at the end of the round a point is deducted.
-full contact you can only kick above the waist, thai boxing kicks can land everywhere(except groin of course)
-thai boxing allows clinching 'neck wrestling' as long a at lease one person is active in the clinch
-thai boxing you can catch the person's leg while they are kicking, but you can only take one step while holding it, then you must attack or release it
range
-american kickboxers tend to fight at a longer range than thai boxers
-thai boxers can fight in close range very well due to their knees elbows and clinching skills
*now if a kickboxer fights with international rules they lose the kicking requirement and can kick to the legs
and depending on where you train they might teach you a lil differently for example my friend does american kickboxing but he was still taught how to use his knees and elbows
