Is Muay Thai Dead?

Is Muay Thai dead… or just misunderstood?

In this video, I share a few ideas that serve as a healthy discussion around the points made in a Muay Thai Guy guest-post that obviously plays devil’s advocate… “Muay Thai Is Dead, And You Killed It.”

It’s good to challenge conceptions, it gets everyone thinking.

It provides the opportunity to reconsider you own understanding, and either justify it, or investigate a new perspective.

My intention is not to bash anyone, far from it — I respect that everyone’s entitled to their opinion based on their own experience. And I thought I’d take the opportunity to share some thoughts to balance the argument a little.

I love the opportunity to reflect on things from an alternative view, and I agree with core principle of the article entirely… don’t be a Muay Thai robot!
