Well, I've pretty much defeated myself... by Muay Thai standards. And theres' yet more in your favor. This list's can long once one gets going.
That spinning back kick is among the best I've seen. That is a technique that opponent's have habitually caught me with. I tend to square up in a front stance which makes a perfect target.
Anyhow, back to Dumb Thai. I call it dumb not because it's dumb literally, it downed Machida readily. Andrade & Pettis used it against TMA-karate trained stylist. But first off, there are two structural weaknesses compared in the Muay Thai fighting stance compared to the traditional karate fighting stance which is a sideways front-based stance w karate guard. Strangely enough, these have been accurately depicted in MMA style fights, K-1 what ever it was.
Problem #1: Muay Thai fighting form.
Problems #2 & #3 of the music, and "T," aren't significant at least by themselves..
Problem #4 is where the real trouble starts. Do you check how many likes you have 19,445? A Gold Belt too. On an MMA launched forum. What do I have, 60? Forget the belt. There's the glimmer of hope.
See, I don't do what Muay Thai does. I don't do whats' recognized on MMA forums. I do not do that. Nope. I know youv'e had a belly full of my TKD poomsae,,, just awful. But really that's what I do. But, Frode, there's other parts of the traditional karate curriculum. So let's take a fun (not dumb) look at that. Oh, MMA says it's dumb. Dumb, dumb, dumb...dumb.. keep going dumb. SBG especially says it's dumb. HEWELL, I'll show you what's dumb by my karate book (and this doesn't apply to you at all).

Here's an org, SBG, claims in many, a whole series of long-winded YT video's and internet prose how my traditional karate is dumb (over&over&over)... their flagship 'elite' MMA striker without untold tens of thousands of dollars in training over many years in everything from TKD, to boxing, to BJJ, ido portal move like water dove - standing stock in front of an Wrestler, and gets knocked down!!!! Now that's A DUMB.
