Muai Thai -Ernesto Hoost

BJJ- Sakuraba (he seems to beat every BJJ practitioner I know and has never been subbed)

Boxing-Emanual Steward (for head movement and better defense from strikes)

Wrestling-Randy Courture

PS: if I had a choice I would learn San Shou from Cung Le for striking

not a bad list at all

Emanuel Steward is the best in boxing for sure!

Matters who you are fighting for...lets get this straight guys
Muay Thai is Kickboxing
Kempo is Kickboxing
even Karate is Kickboxing

If you ever compete there are diffrrent rules for diffrent orgs where you in general (mycase) can't use elbows etc etc...but in the end it is still considered Kickboxing...I have no more to say if you don't get it.

Ya i know who Rufus is, and no they are not the same. U go over to thailand and see! Thats a typical american statement! THere not the same never have ben never will. Learn some history in Muai thai, kickboxing shouldn't get credit for it. Ill give u a little lesson on the differences...
They're is thai boxing and theres kickboxing. They share some of the same techniques but thats it. Someone who actuall trains in thailand would set u strait, believe me last time iz there i asked werent they the same and fighters got offended.

Then why arent they all called kickboxing? or why isn't judo called bjj?? there similar but have different techniques and there not classified as the same

the best fighters are not always the best coaches

and the best coaches were not always great fighters


actually it is quite opposite. look at NFL coaches and MMA coaches. many of them were not good athletes themselves due to lack of physical gifts.

muay thai and kickboxing are different.

kickboxers traditionally do not use elbows, and they use less knees and thai clinch than muay thai does.

OK So when I went to Fairtex When they were here in AZ they didn't know what the heck they were talking about??? They were calling it Thai Kickboxing alot of the time...They arn't all called Kickboxing because that is a Macro Definition...Idiot!!! Have you ever heard of Subfields???? By that rational Kung Fu isn't a martial art!!!
