K1 or Muay Thai ruleset

Hi,

I’ve 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 I’ve also had 3 fights in K-1 and I’m 3-0-0.

However, I’ve 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 “in my element.”

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 can’t 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 don’t know why.

That’s why I thought you might be able to give me some advice:Should I switch to K-1 even though I feel like I’m being a “pussy,” or should I stay in Muay Thai ruleset?

Thanks in advance🙏
