I think 70% muay Thai and 30% judo or bjj would be better bc muay Thai is superior on standard fighting and judo/bjj has the best ground work so u would be unstoppable
Definitely. Me being a martial arts fanatic since early childhood, my personal favorite style would consist of Muay Boran/Thai, Lethwei, Judo, BJJ, Hapkido, Savate, Boxing, Krav Maga, Escrima, Kobudo, and Yaw-Yan.
In my opinion, Taekwondo is made for blitzing your opponents rather than going for strength they go for speed and Muay Thai is the opposite going for bone shattering strength over hitting the opponent before they can block.. they just shatter the blocking limb’s bones and go right through. 😂
It depends on the style of TKD you’re talking about. I’m pretty sure ITF could be equal to Muay Thai because I’m pretty sure in my experience, ITF is trained to fight because they’re more used to punches and kicks, similar to kickboxing. WTF is for competitive sparring, though it can be good for self defense too.
As Joe Rogan says, start off with TKD to learn amazing kicks. Then get the rest from Muay Thai. If you can combine the MT with a smattering of TKD you'd be quite unpredictable compared to someone who just did MT
Agree but my version is to learn box for powerful hands and good footwork, then taekwondo for fast and powerful kicks, then must Thai for combining the two and adding knees and elbows, finally for ground work take wrestling and this will make you unstoppable!
@@samone9908that’s good but you don’t need to do one art max it out and move on to the next, just go to an MMA gym where they teach the important parts of the techniques of all arts. Also you said you’d box for powerful hands but power is genetics yk

@samarsgamingworld9335 im in taekwondo and heres some tips. 1. Make sure to use your front foot (cut) more why? The fromt always is faster 2. Stretch if you want you dont need to it comes with time but if you want a lot of flexibility do some stretches. 3. Always twist your hips and your whole uper bidy with one kick so you use the hip as an transfer for power 4. You can hit with the shin but the taekwondo kicks usually have much more power and speed if you aim with your instep 5. Please dont do this wrong amd train the same kicks on your left leg because of you do it to late its gonna be hard to learn. 6. Keep your kicks straight and near to you also go "through" the enemy dont stop infront of him. 7. Remember to not do tkd leg kicks with your insted but shin because im traditional taekwondo you still use your shin on leg kicks its much more effective for the legs. 8. Dont be stressed and stiffed up relax when kocking take your time to think and then train this is the key to be ab to put power to kicks. 9. Dont over do it and start directöy with some show off spinning kicks chill its gonna make your progress slower 10. Ay never forget to train your upper body yes even in wtf you still train punching not as much as in itf but enough to be compared to an mid boxer. 11. Remember the more bodyweight you put into your standing leg the less power your kick will have because taekwondo kicks are made to transfer your body weight amd emergy into the leg and then transfer that whole immense energy to the enemy if you get an good kick you can break bones. 12. Harden your shins i know yiu hate it but trust me my shins hirt a lot in the old times where i was an yellow belt because i got hurt a lot. 13. Put your legs in the position you are the fastest usually the leg that kicked goes to the front and the back leg is there for an roundhouse. 13. And finally watch proffesionalls dhow you an cpurse for some of the kicks i recommend you side kicks because muay thai fighters have a lot of problems predicting and defending and dodging these so train this one a lot woth both legs.
Blud was too scared to put defense on the list💀 Edit:it seems like i started a war and nat came by and said hello and imediatly left so someone has to clear this mess up Keep in mind this is a defense competition TKD (taekwondo) VS MT (muay thai) Footwork 1:0 TKD Checks 1:1 MT Guard 1:2 MT Durability 1:3 MT Parry 1:4 MT pullback 1:5 MT you cant even make an argument saying that taekwondo has better defense and the guy in my reply section simping for taekwondo is definitly a 9 year old keyboard warior

@@kar6432yeah, I never know how to call it because I do kickboxing and Kyokushin but I add a lot of taekwondo, capoeira, muay thai, wing chun, bjj and dirty street techniques (poking eyes, striking the neck, kicks to the knee or just sliding someones face across the street lol) because it's not mma by itself, I lack a lot of wrestling
@@valen7142 i dont use street tactics since im still technically practicing in a gym, but i think having a variety of technique is a good way to improve yourselves, like using the flicker jab from boxing is one hell of a way to pressure into a straight hand or a low kick
As a person who does taekwondo, their both really good martial arts so if there was a fight between them, I think they would both knock eachother out ngl
I think it depends on user if both users are at expert level. But the learning curve for taekwondo is hard. So, Muay Thai user has some advantage if both users are at beginner or below average level. I personally like Taekwondo flashy kicks more tho😅
In a street fight or street altercation, that few millisecond is crucial. Never let someone aggressive get up close to you and be ready for the TKD back kick. IF the fight happens, then use MT kicks.
Tae also has knees and elbows in their syllabus. But I understand why you gave the point to MT cos they are not used as often as MT. With experience of both, my bias will put my personal W to tae. Mainly because I feel it's easier for tae to transition to MT but not vice versa. (Not saying it's not possible) At the same time, I absolutely HATE how people start to shit on Tae based on what they watch in the Olympics. Like yeah, WT sparring is in a sorry state, and MT is violent and brutal, but being brutal does not mean it's better. Tae has potential to be brutal af too. The kicks can be just as powerful. But unlike MT, where the power comes from raw strength of the fighter, tae harnesses the power from the speed and momentum of the pivoting of our hips, the snapping notion of their kicks and as well as the spin. Plus, it was widely effective in Vietnam, where US soldiers reported that they had to pick up bodies with "necks broken and caved in ribs" after their korean counterparts fought the viet cong in CQB.
Im sorry but you got it wrong if you think thai kicks only rely on strength. They use the hips much more than any other kicking art, thats where the power come from. Plus, muay thai is as technical as it gets, not only brutal.
for the majority of martial arts, not just taekwondo, power comes from pivoting and hip rotation. If mt was based purely on physical strength, it wouldn't really be a martial art. However, yeah a lot of people don't realize that karate and taekwondo kicks/strikes can be pretty easily modified to have a lot of power. There's just no reason to break your opponent in point sparring.
I think the main reason for muay Thai kicks have so much power is because we land the kick with our Shin. In Karate/Taekwondo usually you land the kick with your foot, which give the taekwondo fighter more range and speed in trade of power.
Actually physics-wise, tkd kicks have a lot more "power," due to the smaller area of impact. However MT deals more "damage." Tkd is a blade and MT is a sledgehammer, per se. @PedroIvoRusso-ms2rw
Ngl a combination of both is terrifying. The speed of taekwondo and the power of muay thai lol. Currently first level of black belt in taekwondo just started learning or training for muay thai
@@a.a.bestbgyoutube381 you have misread. Both martial arts will improve your chances drastically when compared to someone who has no training or practice
Elbows and knees are separate things so it should count as two points. But otherwise, I agree with this. Maybe footwork could be 50-50 depending on what you’re trying to accomplish.
If you get a chance to watch Muay Thai boxing ( it is incredible) the conditioning of those fighters elbows and shins is amazing, Taekwondo on the other hand is more about scoring points off of the other guy
In my opinion the best kicks are low kicks, and I've never seen them being used in Taekwondo, whilst they are mastered in Muay Thai. So even if they are not as cool as the Taekwondo kicks, I would give that point to Muay Thai for how effective they are - they also kick with the shins rather than feet, which also adds more points to them. But again, it's just my opinion. I practice Kyokushin, which borrows its low kicks from Muay Thai, so I might be biased :)
@@ruisilva5713 nah he’s right MT defence is much better the stance allows you to check easier unlike the wider TKD stance. Also the hands are higher protecting the head in MT while TKD hands are low at the hips. MT obviously takes grappling as the Thai clinch is constantly used in MMA while none of TKD’s grappling is used. Also sweeps and trips are very useful, used by Volk in his first match with Islam Mackechev
Taekwondo is definitely one of the most fun martial arts and best exercising martial arts it’s a more fun way to fight especially sparring but Muay Thai is just one of if not the best martial art for real life situations
I started out in Taekwondo before expanding to different martial arts like Muay Thai, which TKD has it's roots in Karate, and TKD might get the edge in kicking power if we were to compare the most powerful kickers from both arts.
@@ruisilva5713 Naw, The founder of TKD trained in Karate around WW2. TKD was just a political move because there were many Korean karate practitioners before TKD was develeped and Korea wanted to move away from the Japanese affiliation. There were some changes in Kata's into TKD forms. It wasn't until later that TKD evolved into it's flashy kicking style. There's a reason why they look so similar. Sometimes almost indistinguishable by what style is being used because they both use almost all the same techniques.
I used to do taekwondo but realised after months that this martial art won't teach me proper offense and defense so I chose muay thai and I'll take Muay thai all day and every day. (THIS IS MY PERSONAL OPINION. FEEL FREE TO DO ANYTHING YOU PREFER I'M NOT SAYING ONE IS BETTER THAN THE OTHER)
Tae Kwon do is NOT an art that can stand on its own. It’s the one I’ve doing the longest, and can say with full confidence if you only do it you will get mauled. However, it is one of the best things I’ve done and has helped me a lot in my amateur MMA matches. My advice to all TKD practicioners is to keep it up, but mix in wrestling and boxing for a terrifying fighter.
Yes I agree 100%, I've done boxing for a while and now I've started doing Takewondo, hopefully when I finish that I might do some wrestling or a grappling art like Judo
Also agreed, Taekwando can be good or more as MuayThai (depends on its practioner) however i advice adding some of its concepts to TKD like the knees and power to some degree (kicking wise) But when it comes to punching you need to compensate with some boxing, with that you become a solid amateur alike MMA fighter
@@El_Earth oh absolutely. I don’t do as many knees, but I’ve been specifically training elbows now as well as my boxing, and ending a few combos with a clean elbow across the jaw or to the body
@@Guessedsteak16 yes, would love to learn more about elbows tho, i personally just use some of karate punching techniques to combine them with boxing for "surprise attacks" and unexpected moves, and then focus kicks only with TKD, mainly for flashy and style of the WTF has, and then practice TKD ITF for more in combat based fights kicks with some of the muay thai concepts of the knees
A combination of both would be deadly tho… also even tho Muay Thai has better elbow strikes, grappling and punching the TKD I practiced also included punches, sweeps and elbow strikes
Tkd trainers: discipline, control, power. Mt trainers: what you can feel your bones breaking that's great now take the goddamn pain and fight back. To us pain is just a friend, it always there for us.
The answer is deff Muay Thai reason is because it contains more deadlier combos which includes knees, elbows and clinching which makes it a fantastic art for mma and street beefs.
As a Taekwondo student honestly I agree Taekwondo prefers agility and precision rather then power and brute force like Muay Thai which imo both are completly perfect depending on the person
The friend who introduced me to Tae Kwon Do after just starting it was already a Muay Thai black belt at the time, eithey way I think he likes TKD more and I don't remember which dan he's on, but he's an absolute killing machine, he once asked me to hold a laid down bottle cap slightly above head height, then proceeded to kick it off perfectly clean with a 360 hook on his first try😅
I did a couple of years of tkd and I'm about 9 months deep into Muay Thai and I definitely love muay Thai much more but I still use a little bit of tkd when sparring to cover distance and to mix stuff up
Taekwondo footwork translates well to Muay Thai. Switching between lead and rear leg teeps and roundhouse kicks is easier with TKD training. This also translates to knees and switch knees. TONS of evasive maneuvers come from simply shuffling back and forth between orthodox and Southpaw, too.
When Batman uses taekwondo, it’s during free flow focus mode with a high combo meter without special combos used. When Batman uses Muay Thai it’s for strikes and counters that occur when the combo meter is high but special combos have been used. Taekwondo when you’re in the flow. Muay Thai when you’re in the flow but just wanna inflict more damage.
I don’t know how to answer “which ones better” they are different arts with different goals/purpose/philosophy/training. But, as a 2nd Dan in TKD, I would NEVER mess with anyone training Muay Thai. Ever. Period. Nope. I like my knees!
Imo: practice taekwondo but add some stuff of muaythai for power and for knees, you can keep it pure tho Then practice Boxing for raw punches skills with power You would be insane knowing those two together
Taegukgun is a part of taekwondo where it teaches hand blocks, punches, and kung fu stuff. For example: face punch, back fist body block, face block, leg block, finger thrust, neck blade, (I think) and etc.

“You cant win a kicking fight without legs”
-Muay Thai
Taekwondo: The legs are more flexible than the hands and can kick the opponent at incredible angles
😀😀🦵🦵
Muay Thai: 878 pounds of punch ? 🙀
I started out in Taekwondo before expanding to different martial arts like Muay Thai, which TKD has it's roots in Karate, and TKD might get the edge in kicking power if we were to compare the most powerful kickers from both arts.
TKD doesn’t have its roots in Karate lol it’s the other way around
@@ruisilva5713no? General Choi Hong Hi was proficient in Karate before founding Taekwondo
@@ruisilva5713 Naw, The founder of TKD trained in Karate around WW2. TKD was just a political move because there were many Korean karate practitioners before TKD was develeped and Korea wanted to move away from the Japanese affiliation. There were some changes in Kata's into TKD forms. It wasn't until later that TKD evolved into it's flashy kicking style. There's a reason why they look so similar. Sometimes almost indistinguishable by what style is being used because they both use almost all the same techniques.
Taekwondo fighters don't kick anywhere on the same lvl of power as thai fighters do.
@@lI_Demonata_Il putting a point at the end of your phrase doesn't make you right
Taekwondo and Muay Thai are both good, but together are unstoppable
i do both kinda.. i recently stopped taekwondo and switched to muay thai
both, they are both very strong in their own ways
I used to do taekwondo but realised after months that this martial art won't teach me proper offense and defense so I chose muay thai and I'll take Muay thai all day and every day.
(THIS IS MY PERSONAL OPINION. FEEL FREE TO DO ANYTHING YOU PREFER I'M NOT SAYING ONE IS BETTER THAN THE OTHER)
Valid, at least you're respectful
For real life self defence situations, which is one of the biggest reasons to learn martial arts, Muay Thai all the way.
Tarkwondo:next bruce lee
Muay thai:cancel the next bruce lee💀
Tae Kwon do is NOT an art that can stand on its own. It’s the one I’ve doing the longest, and can say with full confidence if you only do it you will get mauled. However, it is one of the best things I’ve done and has helped me a lot in my amateur MMA matches. My advice to all TKD practicioners is to keep it up, but mix in wrestling and boxing for a terrifying fighter.
Yes I agree 100%, I've done boxing for a while and now I've started doing Takewondo, hopefully when I finish that I might do some wrestling or a grappling art like Judo
Also agreed, Taekwando can be good or more as MuayThai (depends on its practioner) however i advice adding some of its concepts to TKD like the knees and power to some degree (kicking wise)
But when it comes to punching you need to compensate with some boxing, with that you become a solid amateur alike MMA fighter
@@El_Earth oh absolutely. I don’t do as many knees, but I’ve been specifically training elbows now as well as my boxing, and ending a few combos with a clean elbow across the jaw or to the body
@@Guessedsteak16 yes, would love to learn more about elbows tho, i personally just use some of karate punching techniques to combine them with boxing for "surprise attacks" and unexpected moves, and then focus kicks only with TKD, mainly for flashy and style of the WTF has, and then practice TKD ITF for more in combat based fights kicks with some of the muay thai concepts of the knees
I mean korean soldier been doing well with them (for fight with no restriction of course)
A lot of people say it depends on the practitioner. but if they are both on the same level, muay thai wins its soo much more complete
Yea, Taekwondo focus too much in kicks but if u learn both u get muay thai stuffs+Very strong and fast low/high kicks at same time
A combination of both would be deadly tho… also even tho Muay Thai has better elbow strikes, grappling and punching the TKD I practiced also included punches, sweeps and elbow strikes
Tkd trainers: discipline, control, power.
Mt trainers: what you can feel your bones breaking that's great now take the goddamn pain and fight back. To us pain is just a friend, it always there for us.
Taekwondo ain’t go no punches 💀💀💀
of course it does, but not on sports bruh
Source: Trust me bro
Yes it does. If you do old school tkd it has hooks uppercuts crosses and jabs
TKD do have punches, but WT says no and just deletes punches from the competitions
As a muay thai person, taekwondo wins.
As Muay Thai person why not both😎
Y
as a taekwondo person, muay thai wins😅
You and me arent doing the same Muay thai
Taekwondo not bad But muay thai can take his life at any time
I’m biased since I’ve been doing Tae Kwon Do since I was 6
Taekwondo because it’s the most iconic and closer to karate, and i won’t get my legs broken or injured
The difference in todays TKD is that they train you to be an athlete not a fighter while the old skool they train you to be a fighter
taekwondo: kicks with insane speed, very powerful kicks, lack of punching.
muay thai: brutal elbows and knees, includes kicking and punching.
He broke the chain supporting the bag in the beginning
Kung Fu/Karate: found Ur enemies weak point
Taekwondo: broke every point
As someone who did Taekwondo for some years, it’s all about the legs, and that’s why me legs are stronger than my arms
Mixing both and add wrestling can make a deadly combo
they say muai thai is more deadly but it isnt about the martial art its about the user
actually, training elbow and knee everyday (strongest body weapons) is deadly
I train taekwondo with muay thai techniques as I'm a truly a kickboxer, it's good to cross train and integrate other techniques and movements
The answer is deff Muay Thai reason is because it contains more deadlier combos which includes knees, elbows and clinching which makes it a fantastic art for mma and street beefs.
As a Muay Thai trainee I would like to say LES GOOOOO!!
Use both and ur unstoppable
It is not the martial art, is the artist...
Yes. This is why US Marine Corps Martial Arts Program (MCMAP) uses TKD, MT, KM, Wing Chun, Capo + Judo. 👊
It also depends on the person how good they are
For destruction Muay Thai , for Speed Taekwondo
I started in taekwondo and it helped a lot after learning Muay thai.
Tkd-cool kicks like heaven
Muay thai-it takes you there
it's not the martial art, it's the martial artist
Taekwondo kicks: fast and spinny
Maui Thai kicks: oopsies u can’t kick anymore
As a Taekwondo student honestly I agree Taekwondo prefers agility and precision rather then power and brute force like Muay Thai which imo both are completly perfect depending on the person
Taekwondo: Inner peace
Muay Thai: Reat in peace😈
If taekwondo is a school student, muay thai is the principal of that school.😊
Imagine having the style of taekwondo but the power of muay Thai
Taekwondo is deadly.. but Muay Thai Is death itself 💀
Taekwondo:good looking
Muay Thai: destructive
The friend who introduced me to Tae Kwon Do after just starting it was already a Muay Thai black belt at the time, eithey way I think he likes TKD more and I don't remember which dan he's on, but he's an absolute killing machine, he once asked me to hold a laid down bottle cap slightly above head height, then proceeded to kick it off perfectly clean with a 360 hook on his first try😅
I’ll go for learning both styles, and figuring out what moves work from there
The one that runs away faster wins. Remember kids, best martial art for streets is sprinting.
Depends on practitioner
I did a couple of years of tkd and I'm about 9 months deep into Muay Thai and I definitely love muay Thai much more but I still use a little bit of tkd when sparring to cover distance and to mix stuff up
Taekwondo speed kicks and muay thai hard kicks combination 🔥
Taekwondo footwork translates well to Muay Thai. Switching between lead and rear leg teeps and roundhouse kicks is easier with TKD training. This also translates to knees and switch knees. TONS of evasive maneuvers come from simply shuffling back and forth between orthodox and Southpaw, too.
When Batman uses taekwondo, it’s during free flow focus mode with a high combo meter without special combos used. When Batman uses Muay Thai it’s for strikes and counters that occur when the combo meter is high but special combos have been used. Taekwondo when you’re in the flow. Muay Thai when you’re in the flow but just wanna inflict more damage.
As someone who does teakwondo, I believe Muay thai is scarier
In a fight, muay thai as soon as the fighter gets a good hold or close range, but in general both are good
I don’t know how to answer “which ones better” they are different arts with different goals/purpose/philosophy/training. But, as a 2nd Dan in TKD, I would NEVER mess with anyone training Muay Thai. Ever. Period. Nope. I like my knees!
Taekwondo and Muay Tai are both eaqualy good in different areas
Fully agree. Fully agree.
Now, imagine mixing these:
Punching of boxing
Speed of taekwondo
Grappling of BJJ
With Muay thai
Fucking lethal
I say steal a move from every art if u can master it and make it work for you
Imo: practice taekwondo but add some stuff of muaythai for power and for knees, you can keep it pure tho
Then practice Boxing for raw punches skills with power
You would be insane knowing those two together
Taegukgun is a part of taekwondo where it teaches hand blocks, punches, and kung fu stuff. For example: face punch, back fist body block, face block, leg block, finger thrust, neck blade, (I think) and etc.
I engage in both but i would say they are surprisingly even when done right. TKD is really really fast and can be surprisingly tanky.
in conclusion i am absolutely cooked if my opponent knows these fighting styles
