Both arts provide a competitive edge in today’s mixed martial arts world. But The most common difference between the two sports is Muay Thai is an 8 point striking system that uses kicks, punches, elbows, knees, and clinching. Kickboxing is a 4 point striking system that involves punches and kicks only. Muay Thai fighters are taught to be more patient, to look for openings following an opponent’s strikes. Counterattacks are more prevalent in Muay Thai. In comparison to kickboxing, there is much less head movement, circling, and weaving.
For Example Im just sharing Technique Difference: Kickboxers tend to be very active with hands, angles, and movements creating a volume of combinations. Muay Thai fighters are looking for the perfectly timed single strike.
Kickboxers tend to be more defensive using angles and footwork to set up attacks while in Muay Thai you see more forward motion and counter-attacks.
