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

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

Orthodox Muay Thai belongs to the most extreme horizontal training in foreign boxing, which mainly strengthens the body through the reaction force against objects, and improves the tolerance of body parts to strong impact. The training methods are cruel and easy to accumulate dark injuries, which is a typical example of greed for quick results, but it also gains amazing ability to fight and punch.

Elbows and knees are the hardest parts of the upper and lower limbs of the human body, especially in the training of Muay Thai. It is not too exaggerated to say that the elbows are steel knees and iron elbows. The sweeping and kicking power of trained Muay Thai players can break the bones of opponents, which is very biting and easy to deal with ordinary people.

The power of professional Muay Thai high elbow can reach two tons, and a knee bump is equivalent to a car with a speed of 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 are many moves in ancient Thai boxing. 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 doesn't mean that Muay Thai is invincible and impeccable.

Let's not talk about the problem that its unscientific training methods often make boxers pay the health price. Apart from the lethality, the attack and defense techniques of Muay Thai are relatively simple, even a little rough. Although the momentum is vigorous, the connection and rhythm of a series of moves are inferior, and the footwork is rootless. It is easy to suffer when encountering experienced and resourceful practitioners.

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

I've seen a Muay Thai wrestler compete with a classical wrestler. The Muay Thai wrestler has a very heavy fist, and usually three or four people are not his opponents. But this time, as long as he is entangled close to his body, his fists, knees and elbows can't be brought into full play, and his feet are not as solid as others'. After more than a minute, his opponent falls three or four times in a row, and finally he even struggles to get up, which makes him feel embarrassed. The average Sanda player, facing the same opponent, is not so at a loss at least in playing.
