If you had to pick just one fighting dicslipline

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.
