Ok, first of all everyones body is different so one has to see what works for him/her. All arts can be effective depending on how one feels.

But Muay thai is in my opinion the best for street fights and self defence. I mean, does anyone need anymore convincing when you can easily see how devastating the attacks are in the ring?

Some idiots will tell you this mauy thai is a “ring” sport only and ineffective in the streets but dont listen to them. Use your common sense. How do most street fights look? They more or less are just punching and kicking arent they? Well, who can punch and kick better than mauy thai fighters?

I can almost assure you the best muay thai fighters will destroy street attackers in seconds. I know one guy who used to do illegal mma and im sure he used thai kicks. When he fought one on one with some people due to a dispute, all he had to do was deliver one kick to the guys face and it was pretty much all over.

Also, there is no such thing as a RING fighitng art. ALL martial arts were made for self defence. The only reason why they are in the ring is because they want to earn money by fighting.

Of course, all arts have their strengths and weaknesses. Muay thais weakenesses are that it doesnt have strikes to the weak points such as eyes, neck etc.

So when you are defending your life on the street against someone intent on killing you, its best to utilise all those basic self defence tactics such as eye gouges, groin strikes, neck strikes and scratching.

Blend those with a devastating striking art like muay thai and hey….you have a winner.

Keep safe everyone.
