Adjusting Muay Thai for MMA
The answer to the question, “Is Muay Thai suitable for MMA?” is a resounding YES, provided few adjustments are made.
Muay Thai or the art of eight limbs, utilizes two fists, two elbows, two knees and two shins, and thus, has a lot of striking tools in its arsenal. As a striking martial art, Muay Thai can very well adapt for MMA.
Muay Thai fighters also use clinching techniques with their knees and elbows, either to attack while clinching, or to make a transition to take the opponent to the ground. In both ways, Muay Thai clinching can prove very useful in MMA.
The stances in Muay Thai are generally more upright and this is advantageous for the opponent to execute different types of takedowns. A little lower and wider stance as practiced in Taekwondo or Karate, if incorporated along with the Muay Thai stances, may prove to be more beneficial for adapting Muay Thai for MMA.
Generally, Muay Thai fighters keep most of the body weight on the rear foot, while the lead foot performs different types of kicks. This is helpful to execute teeps or front pushing kicks, and also to deflect the opponent’s kicks; however, in MMA the Muay Thai fighter needs to be light on both the feet, so that quick in, out, and lateral footwork can be performed.
Muay Thai fighters are good at striking, but for MMA they also need to learn other skills like grappling, wrestling, and submission skills. Perhaps, with these few adjustments, Muay Thai can become extremely suitable for MMA.
