Welcome to the real art of Muay Thai, not just the art of 8 weapons but also the art of many styles! Whilst there is only one sport of Muay Thai, there are of course many styles of fighting, many different types of fighters and the importance of styles has become a major factor when matching up world-class bouts, especially between Thais on the pro circuit. Or both are almost permanently locked up in the clinch or extensively throwing knees. And then suddenly it appears obvious: One fighter may be punching a lot, the other kicking. Watch very closely, look for repetitive patterns, the fighters choice of weapons etc. It’s fun to do and will also greatly help you in understanding the sport, the scoring system and may even help you find your own personal fighting style! Next time you watch a Muay Thai fight, don’t worry so much about who your favourite fighter might be, who you want to win or even who might be winning round by round, focus a little more on watching and recognising the fighters specific styles.
