And art can not be offensive and defensive. They have offensive and defensive techniques but people use them. People naturally develop a style of fighting after training a while. Some people like to bob and weave. Like me for instance. I'm good at that. Others like to come close and use their knees and uppercuts. There is no answer to your question. You are overthinking and overanalyzing. Find yourself a good gym, a good trainer and train whichever of those two you see fit.
@Mild Max
I would argue that the males of she species have 6 limps, if you know what I mean. A true weapon of mass destrution.
Muay thai is Thailand boxing, it is absolutely brutal on your body. But super effective
You know people only have four limbs right? Five if you stretch it and count the neck and head.
Why not both?
I want people with actually experience answering this question or excellent fight knowledge.
Ive done Muay Thai for 3 months when i was 17 and Tae Kwon Doe for 4 Months when i was 8.. I'm now 19.
I am interest in choosing one to go into.. but here is my dilemma..
*I DONT WANT JUST SEE "MUAY THAI CUZ YOU CAN USE ALL 8 LIMBS"*
Boxing has superior hand skills; they are quick and very smart and defensive which i think is great. Boxers have excellent footwork,agility and speed and power to there punches, also very precise and also good at creating there own shot. by using angles. BUT boxers do lack weapons
Muay Thai great use of all weapons, but lack defence and foot work. They have a great clinch offence and corporate some throws but its the defence and foot work that bother me, i understand they don't bob and weave or duck because they can catch a knee but while training all we learned was how to block , not slip and stop just block or take the hits...
what would you guys choose... Defence, Smart,Angles,Two superior weapons and train in the "Sweet Science" (boxing) or train in the "Art of 8 limbs" lacks defence but great for offence.
