As such, practitioners of muay thai will repeatedly hit hard objects with their shins, conditioning it, hardening the bone through a process called cortical remodeling.

what an arragont and stuoid thing to say. Because you don't
like, or understand mma, that means that you are right and
everyone is wrong! Mma will def overtake boxing, there is no
doubt about that. Not because of tyson ( stupid expkanation) but
because its more entertaining, and with alot more depth.
Sorry, but it is FAR LESS entertaining than boxing. The fights are extremely boring, and the PPV views agree with me. There is too much posturing and grappling, and lying around on the floor growning, if that is what I want to see I'll just rent porn for half the price, LOL!

I agree, with most of what you said. There seems to be some contradiction in the pro-mma mentality. Like MMA fighters are said to be the toughest guys in combat sports yet they also want to claim that it has the least injuries. Does not make sense to me, if you had a guy like Vitali Klitschko fighting with 4oz gloves there are going to be some major injuries.
You really dont have a clue! The reason why there is more serious
injuries in boxing is because they are punching eachother in the
head for 12 rounds. A huge difference to a mma fight.
Championship fights are 12 rounds, most are 10 and under
And there are no such things as strikers?

Some people in this thread (Jay-morris) are obviously ignorant that the way the Taiwanese train for traditional Muay Thai makes any MMA competition or training look like child's play. These people strike solid rocks all day until their shins/elbows are as hard as steel. Additionally, they do the same kind of training MMA fighters do, more of it and it's harder.
Many matches have been held with tradition Muay Thai fighters (from Taiwan) against other western MMA/Boxing/Etc fighters. Many of them even handicap the Muay Thai fighters according to the regulations of western sports. A lot of times Taiwanese Muay Thai fighters end up seriously hurting their competition very easily, sometimes they look like they are trying to use so much restraint they look like they are trying to pick wings off a fly.
What you know as "MMA" doesn't hold a candle to real Muay Thai.

Bone Remodeling
When you break a bone, they part that grows back is significantly stronger than it was until your body "eats away" some of the excess. These people continuously injure themselves in order to condition their bones to be solid as hell. Think about that next time you see one of your "mixed martial artists" on the floor with 2 new leg joints or forfeiting a match because he is bleeding a little bit.
"MMA" fighters are pathetic when compared to traditional practitioners of Muay Thai and they shouldn't even be considered as if they are anywhere near on the same level of lethality and effectiveness.
Jeet Kune Do is not anywhere near the same thing as what they call "MMA". "MMA" is a glorified wrestling match where westerners take light jabs at each other for points. It's not even worth watching.edit on 29-3-2012 by RSF77 because: (no reason given)

sigh!
Boxing is all about punching, mostly to the head. Mma fight
is normally not like that. You do get fights that are on the feet,
but most of them go to the ground.
Yes, UFC is by far a much lighter and safer combat sport

lol, im ignorant! I have an interest in many types of martial arts, and respect
all if them. Muay thai is one of them. But to say that mma fighters dont train
hard, just because they are not wacking their shins again stone is just
stupid and ignorant. You think a muay thai fighter could go into ufc and
win every fight lol

Taiwan banning MMA? I don't understand why they didn't just laugh it out of town.edit on 29-3-2012 by RSF77 because: (no reason given)

I didn't say they didn't train hard, I'm sure some do. I said real Muay Thai training makes their training look like child's play.
I don't know, but I think your average MMA fighter could step in a Muay Thai ring and loose every fight(1), probably wouldn't walk the same ever again either.

Of course its "my opinion" what else would it be? In fact, in my very first post I even said "in my opinion," and actually I like all martial arts, especially mixed styles, I just don't like the UFC, and I don't think their stars are all that good. I don't like watching grappling, it is boring, but it is an important skill to learn and is one of the most useful for corrections and law enforcement and such. Its still boring!
