K1 or Muay Thai ruleset
Hi, Iāve been doing Muay Thai for 6 years and have had 7 fights in Thai. My record is 5-1-1 with 3 KOs. So far Iāve also had 3 fights in K-1 and Iām 3-0-0. However, Iāve noticed that I really dislike the clinch in Muay Thai, and that boxing and kicking are more my strengths. In my K-1 fights I felt much more comfortable and more āin my element.ā I also use very little Dutch-style combinations compared to my opponents, but my precise Thai low kicks give my opponents a very hard time. Because of my Muay Thai experience, many opponents also have trouble getting into the clinch with me. At least that was the case with the three opponents I fought who only trained in K-1. But mentally I canāt seem to take the step to switch competitively to K-1. It somehow makes me feel like a coward or a traitor, and I honestly donāt know why. Thatās why I thought you might be able to give me some advice:Should I switch to K-1 even though I feel like Iām being a āpussy,ā or should I stay in Muay Thai ruleset? Thanks in advanceš

@John Bassford Thanks for the quick reply. I was already thinking about focusing on training Muay Thai at Camp K1, but only fighting under K-1 rules. My training partners and my coach also told me that they can see a āflow stateā when I fight in K-1. In Muay Thai, Iām someone who doesnāt like to throw elbows because I donāt want to cause serious damage, even though I actually love practicing elbows in training. I usually only throw elbows if my opponent starts using them first. In the clinch I have a good base and can hold my position well, but it interrupts my flow. In K-1 I donāt really think about setups or combinations, they just happen automatically. But sometimes it feels like Iām running away fro m Muay Thai.

@John Bassford Thank you for the answer. Iām slowly starting to see where I need to go. And the idea of an anti-clinch style has just caught my curiosity. To develop such a style, I need to know the ins and outs of the clinch myself. And as you said, I could then dominate in both rule sets. Thanks for the help.š

Whatās your biggest obstacle?
Obviously everyone is here to learn the Art of Muay Thai. But Iām curious what specific obstacles you all are running into? Maybe we can help each other, or if itās a technique thing then Iāll put it on Kru Johns list for upcoming posts, orā¦.. š¤·āāļø

@John Bassford I have a good base but Clinch suck. But i'm looking forward to the clinch part. Especially the locks and throws.
