definitley muay thai

If u wanna be a pussy and use a kick in a fight then yeah go with muay thai.

as far as punching technique goes, they are crap and weak imo, well the british are. As far at the kids in Thailand that train since babies, now they are the real deal, still have relitivly weak punches but the elbows make up for that alot.

Havn't been in too many street fights? You do whatever you gotta do to end the fight. As a matter of fact Bas Rutten speaks highly of the groin kick and well... if you trained for the next 30 years you probably wouldn't equal EL GUAPO

If you see someone using Muay Thai and they look weak, blame it on the person not the art.
But thats just me, I know I'll do whatever it takes even if I gotta pull out a firearm.. If I'll use a gun I'll definately use a groin kick. You just havn't reached that warrior mentality yet, no biggie
