I love muay thai when I use to take it and I did very well in it. But I soon found out that Muay thai is superior in offense but lacks and successful defense. Watch any Muay thai fighter I will suggest the champions they are hardcore with attacks but lacks a good defense. Boxing or kick boxing is much more sound. I when most of my fights on defense alone cause in a street fight everyone always goes offensive so the person the the strongest arsenal wins. I always thought that was stupid So I will look to counter if anything. Muay thai the stance alone is present a balance problem but none the less the art is deadly I suggest you look deep inside of yourself and find out what fits you.
