I took shotokan when I was younger and now I take muay thai and my instructor points out things I do that aren't conducive to the art. For instance I find myself at times in a very wide stance and punch from a chamber. These things don't transfer well.
Mixing things get you mixed results.
I bet you punch a hell of a lot better than most of the guys in the Muay Thai class.
Well, Shotokan really focus on timing, what is never a bad thing. And has punches to the face.

Really? Most times, when a Karate cat comes into Muay Thai, they punch like shit and hates getting pressured with the hands and always trying to keep distance with their sidekick spam, but usually it's completely running around the entire gym and into other people's space while they're sparring (lol). Same goes for Kung-Fu and especially TKD, where their hands are horrible compared to MT. MT trains a hell of a lot of punching compared to TMA's. The only ones that are better at punching are the pure Boxers.
