So if you google BJJ schools, a great many pop up under any given location but when you google "Muay Thai" schools, nothing shows up! Most of the Muay Thai training is happening in established BJJ schools instead that have these visiting Muay Thai instructors who come and go. A lot of times, Muay Thai instructor would actually be an MMA competitor whose only experience of Muay Thai is the MMA fight he fought. When you look at modern MMA, BJJ is really not as relevant to modern MMA as it once was and striking plus ground and pound is the in thing now so it makes me wonder, why is there such absolute lack of dedicated Muay Thai (or striking) schools? Why must they exist under the wing of an established BJJ school instead of as a place of their own? Why is there no equivalent of Gracie Barra in US Muay Thai scene? Bad marketiblity? Lack of public interest?
