SpizzEnergi Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 Title says it all. What's best MT sparring or Boxing sparring. Will MT sparring improve punches or striking defense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FallenFlyer Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 Boxing will increase punches and strikes defence quicker than Muay Thai will. Although it would obviously be quicker to train punches or strike defence with a specialist coach. The additional effects of sparring (i.e how much secondary's increase) is directly related to how many secondary's can be improved. So MT has an effect on punches, kicks, elbows, knees, strike defence and the clinch. Boxing only has an effect on punches and strike defence (and a very small amount of clinch). This means for every point of increase the share is far less with MT compared to boxing. Assuming an equal distribution (which is highly unlikely from all I have seen) - for every point of boxing additional increase, punches go up 0.45, strike defence goes up 0.45 and clinch goes up 0.1. Every point of MT each attribute goes up roughly 0.16 each. A statistically much smaller increase. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skull Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 I'd say Muay thai early on since with say for example a wonderful muay thai fighter you would be able to defend kicks as well as punches elbows and knees better where a wonderful boxer would have a hard time defending kicks, elbow and knees. secondaries will play a part to but for me i think muay thai is better to start with. But in the long run you WILL need both 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FallenFlyer Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 That is a rather imprecise question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bwang Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 For punches and str def your coach should have 150 boxing and 150 MT yes. For clinch they should also have 150 wrestling. For kicks elbows and knees just 150 MT. (For the very best training possible.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kronix Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 In my experience, my boxers get here ass wooped by MT fighters every time Do your fighters lack kicks? Because without them you can't defend properly and could be why you don't win. You need kicks to defend against kicks aswell as strike d AND some MT.
