Tony Jaa vs Scott Adkins | Muay Thai vs Taekwondo

Before watching the video below, let’s get acquainted Muay Thai and Taekwondo style  differences.

Muay Thai and Taekwondo are both incredible forms of martial art . Each requires refinement and skill to conquer and is very taxing on the body. Both are good in their own way, but there are always people who prefer one over the other. Muay Thai is more effective in a self-defense scenario as Taekwondo requires distance to be effective. Muay Thai has devastating techniques for close and far ranges. Further, Muay Thai makes use of 8 limbs for striking whereas Taekwondo makes use of 4.
There are more differences than similarities between these two martial arts. But before going into detail, let’s learn a little about the history of each. Muay Thai, also known as Muay Thai, is the national sport and cultural martial art of Thailand. It is a form of close combat that was developed hundreds of years ago and uses standing strikes along with various clinching techniques. It is called the “Art of Eight Limbs” because it uses eight points of contact (two feet, two hands, two knees and two elbows),
as opposed to other forms of martial arts that primarily use two (two hands) or four points of contact. . Contact (two arms and two legs). Taekwondo is a type of martial arts that started out in Korea all the way back in its Three Kingdom Era (c.50 BC). The word Taekwondo itself means “the method of kicking and punching.” Participants are only allowed to use their hands and feet to attack or protect themselves against an opponent. The thing that actually makes Taekwondo stand out and differs it from other forms of martial arts is its variety of combinations of kicking movements.
