One of the beautiful things about Muay Thai is that no two fighters look exactly the same. The sport recognizes several primary "styles" of fighting, which dictate a fighter's strategy and favored weapons.
A Muay Mat relies on forward pressure, heavy hands, and devastating low kicks. They aim to end the fight early through sheer power and volume. How to train it: Sit down on your punches, focus on boxing combinations that end in hard leg kicks, and practice cutting off the ring.
A Muay Tae controls the distance and scores heavily with roundhouse kicks to the body and arms. They use kicks to break an opponent's guard and drain their stamina. How to train it: Volume kicking. Drill double and triple roundhouses off the same leg, and focus on fast retractions.
A Muay Khao excels at moving forward, absorbing or parrying strikes, and wrapping their opponent in the clinch to deliver relentless knees. How to train it: Work the heavy bag at close range, stepping straight in, establishing a collar tie, and throwing marching knees.
A Muay Femur is a master of timing, evasion, and counters. They fight beautifully, often leaning backward to evade high kicks and returning with sharp teeps or fast strikes. How to train it: Lower your output volume but increase your precision. Drill checks, slips, and immediately returning fire.
