Okay /fit/ another TKD question here.We all know, at least in America, it has been relegated to the status of martial sport that at the 'elite' levels isn't so much an effective fighting technique as an effective point-scoring technique.What I want to discuss is the strengths and weaknesses of the art versus something like Thai boxing. For example, the difference in stances. TKD favors a side stance whereas Thai boxing uses a more square stance with one leg dropped back.I've seen some fights where a Thai boxer just destroys a TKD fighter with leg strikes that he had no experience or defense against.
I've seen the opposite. It always depends on the fighter
You can't really defend a low kick, you will get hurt eitherway, plus they aren't used (i think) in TKD, so they have no experience in defending against it.Plus elbows, knees etc etc.In short you are a faggot and TKD is for faggots.
muay thay - hardcoreTKD - casual weaklings
side stance vs thai stancediscuss
>>377576side stance can let you fall back and control the defence more easily. Thay stance is much more agressive, easier to low kick and use elbows and knees as defence, but that's all, you won't dodge as much as in side stance.
Are you asking that if we pit a professional muay thai fighter that does hard full contact sparring 5 times a week between a tkd faggot who does pretty kicks and wears 10 tons of protective padding so he doesn't get a broken nail he would win?(I do muay thai btw)
>>377587what if we pit a thai fighter against a TKD fighter with equal body conditioning?
Goddamn when will you faggots stop comparing a kicking faggot art with a FULL LIMB USE MARTIAL ART, jesus chrsit GEE I WONDER WHO WOULD WIN, A FAG THAT USES ONLY HIS LEGS OR A FAG THAT CAN USE ALL HIS LIMBS AND BONES?DURRRRRRRRRRR
>>377594there are plenty of schools that teach the original techniques which combine kicking and punching techniques.but they are far outnumbered by the mcdojos.
>>377594i bet you jerk off to UFC fights.
