Muay Thai: The Most Effective Striking Art


The "truth" of martial arts came to light with the birth of the UFC in 1993. Before the UFC, anyone could claim that their martial art was the most effective in real life hand-to-hand combat. There were plenty of paper tigers hiding behind a black belt and fancy pajamas from various martial arts. Today, after almost 20 years of no-holds barred competition with very little rules, it has been proven that the most effective combination of martial arts in MMA is Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Wrestling, and Boxing.  Muay Thai is known unquestionably as the most effective striking art in the world by professional fighters, fight experts, and self-defense gurus, bar none. Some of the greatest MMA World Champions and legends in history have Muay Thai as their base: Anderson Silva, Jose Aldo, Alistair Overeem, Mauricio Shogun Rua, Cris Cyborg, and Wanderlei Silva to name a few. Almost every professional MMA fighter uses Muay Thai as his/her base for striking because of its real-life effectiveness.
