As a long time wrestler, my goal is to compete one day, but my striking skills are fairly weak, but I'm a beast on the mat. I'd love to get some Muay Thai training one day. And anyone who says MMA is more violent than boxing is out of their minds! It's a display of a lifetime of training and skill, two warriors testing their mettle.

It's the practitioners. Bruce Lee learned WC style, and MODIFIED it to his own JKD style. This he did while incorporating other styles B.Lee understood that all styles are = but are not without their strength & weaknesses. A famously known one is the foot movement. After witnessing a boxing match Lee learned to use constant foot movement to hide the telegraphing of kicks. Before this foot movement was static in many forms. Yet thru adaptability many art forms use more foot movement with techniques. I also agree that sometimes luck play a role in who wins. ~It's not the art forms, but the practitioners. In baseball a pitcher's form helps him, but it's the player himself with the ability to be the best regardless of form. It’s not the art that is better. It’s the practitioners.

Today all martial arts utilize all parts of human body such as elbows, knees, hands, legs, and head sometimes. These martial arts also the art of 8-9 limbs however muay thai is the "original" art of right limbs. There was the best martial art in the world when all martial arts never met and fought and even learnt from each others. However I have to agree now that there are no better martial arts because in fact, they are pretty alike.

We decided to mess around and have a sparring match against each other. I ended up punching him and kicking him a bunch of times and taking him down in a hold in less than 30 seconds. Before that, I thought he was unbeatable because he could do all these amazing kicks and stuff but he really didnt do anything in our match when I got close to him. Thats why I think TKD is way overrated. I am a brown belt in karate and my friend is a 2nd degee black belt in TKD. We decided to mess around and have a sparring match against each other.

Simply, it is not possible to decide which of the martial arts is the most powerful! If you would tried it, and really at that thought, you will see that for every martial art you can find a suitable MA - win - it depends only on human, his reflexes, and strength, training atc. It seems that you are constantly putting thaiboxing and taekwondo against themselves ... in this case would most likely win thaiboxer but try to imagine thaiboxer in the ring against the person controlling such Aikijutsu or Jeet Kune Do - Thaiboxer would fail in my opinion. In real life I think is one of the best fighting styles Krav Maga, but it is a matter of opinion - Always is the main thing to use your brain better than an opponent - that is the way to succeed.
