How's Muay Thai only good for the ring?


The eternal Saint is calling, through the ages she has told. The ages have not listened; the will of faith has grown old…

For forever she will wander, for forever she withholds; the Demon King is on his way, you’d best not be learned untold…

Judo, Mainly because it's the most appealing to me, It seems like the right fighting style for me.




Was it something I said? Whatever it was, I didn't mean it. I haven't meant anything I've said for years. Except what I just said. I think

That's MMA, not Muay Thai, and Capoeira does not do well against other styles.

No. It doesn't prove anything. Perhaps a shit MMA fighter.

I mean, Capoeira gyms do not even boast that their style is powerful. They do it for basic self defence and mostly for fitness and spiritual development.

If the Capoeira fighter in the vid is indeed skilled, he deserves merit. But the style won't take the average practitioner far professionally.

That's a scene from a movie set.

Never Back Down

That's the only good scene in the movie. The rest is shit.
