Muay Thai | From Russia With Love

[AndyMaBobs]

As far as I know the history of the development of Thai boxing in Russia, the bulk of the trainers came from boxing / kickboxing, respectively, the authentic Muay Thai technique was taught only in those gyms, from which the trainers visited Thailand. That is why in the Russian version of MT there is a rather distinctive stance resembling a boxing one, a lot of attention is paid to punches, and the elbows / knees that are most suitable in self-defense situations in close quarters are so popular among our fighters.

That's about what I expected!

It's just my bad english . I mean, russian mt fighters prefer punches, clinch, elbows and knees to kicks because for us any combat sport is for self-defense first and competition second.

Oh gotcha

That makes sense to me - because from my observations I haven't seen a Russian Muay Thai fighter who particularly impresses me as a kicker, but I have seen plenty of punchers and elbow artists that have particularly impressed me.
