Real Muay thai fighters have awesome standing grappling . They will control ,throw and sweep your legs . The only thing a skilled Thai fighter needs to learn is ground fighting and then all the lower weight classes of mma would be rule by thai dudes

[@janl4062]

Thai grappling doesn't work because most of the center of gravity is on the upper body. As soon as a person with a wrestler's stance went against a thaiboxer, sweeps would stop working. The same goes for Thai clinch.

[@hukit0]

@@janl4062 Thai clinch in Thailand often looks pretty similar to Greco wrestling (underhooks, overhooks, body locks, etc.), which is a major component of freestyle. They might be missing the element of leg grabs, but there is a huge amount of overlap between Thai grappling and western wrestling except with the added element of elbow and knee strikes. People call the double collar tie "Thai clinch," but you very rarely see it used in Thailand unless there is a big skill/size disparity.

[@benzun9600]

@@Ryan30z yeah BJJ is a religion many have their master in JJ and religious dogma

[@gabbar51ngh]

The reason BJJ has become cult because it reinforces the belief that fighting is just like making the right move in chess and you can beat anyone. This isn't how reality is. Seen wrestlers dominate BJJ guys and especially catch wrestling all the time. Then Muay Thai kicks are so insane BJJ guys can barely grapple after that. Plus sheer strength with little bit of fighting knowledge can be game changer.

[@privateuploads5397]

not true. The only thing that happen is both are grapplers/bjj. But strikers or muay thai fighters, the moment you lay down, goodluck to your legs. 100% of the battle at first are all standing. Very less change of grappling. The only time grappling happen if either both or the other one is exhausted.

[@strippergavemmepinkeye2.023]

I’m surprised people even argue that mma isn’t the best .You have the capabilities to knock out at least 3 people out and if it’s one on one you can take someone down Mma truly is the best but just bjj or just wrestling is the worst because fights in the streets are never fair .

[@maxk880]

Wrestling better than bij because more takedown/throw focused. Works great on concrete and keeps you standing up. Also people tend to stop fighting back if you throw them on the curb lol. Best thing is to learn everything and specialize on 1 thing. Most (if not all) MMA champions are at least decent at every aspect, but amazing at a certain thing. Like Stephen Thompson. He's decent at wrestling and takedown defense, he has to be to survive grapplers. But he's amazing at striking. Or Khabib, who is a grappling God but needs some decent striking to not get straight up KO'd

[@hampuswallin5942]

The reason why no one argues it is because MMA is not a martial art. It’s a combination of martial arts, which is why it can’t be in a conversation when comparing martial arts to each other.

[@dualmass]

Muay Thai on average is gonna win over bjj, because bjj guys have almost no takes downs, bjj is kinda funny in that they willingly lay on the ground

[@sergiocastillo9759]

You might want to revise that argument after watching some UFC fights. Don't get me wrong, I love muay thai. But, in no way is a pure thai boxer going to easily defeat a pure bjj guy. That's what the early UFCs proved in the 90's. In more recent times, fights like Rodtang vs Demetrious Johnson offer some more evidence of what I've stated.

[@dualmass]

@@sergiocastillo9759 DJ is Not a bjj guy, no way , not even close, to suggest that is silly,

[@sergiocastillo9759]

@@sergiocastillo9759 yeah but you said pure thai vs pure bjj and DJ isn't a purest in bjj he did what he did to Rodtang due to him mixing it up not just completely grappling against him. Grappling is a whole different animal when strikes are involved

[@JackBarrett7]

What Joes saying reminds me of James Toney's remarks before his fight with Couture. He said "Idc about no 'martial arts'. You put any man in front of me and I can knock him out". He thought. And to be fair, he was a multiple weight world champion boxer, if youre facing a guy who cannot fight or is trying to box with you, 100% youll knock him out, but if he shoots in for a quick takedown it's over. Suddenly youre on your back like a turtle.

[@rickcarrasco6716]

So if you only had to choose one style, which one would it be for self-defense in a real situation?

[@manfrombritain6816]

its weird though most of the champs in MMA right now are kinda more strikers. makhachev is the only proper grappler i can think of

[@MattyIceBJJ]

Aljo, JJ, Islam, Volk all have strong wrestling backgrounds. Volk is just so insanely well rounded and his striking is so great people forget how much of a danger he is on the ground as well. He was an Australian wrestling champ.

[@chrismacleod9326]

I understand Jocko’s point at the end about getting close to a guy to strike, consequently giving the grappler an opportunity to take the other guy down, however if the striker knows how to strike well he can maintain some distance, throw some vicious combos and have the grappler on the back foot. In fact, if he’s a proficient striker he will likely knock the grappler out before the fight ever goes to the ground be it a leg kick, elbow or punch.

The real problem I find with bjj guys he they can't take hits. You hit with a good kick or punch especially if ll they do is train striking. You've never been punched and kicked unless it was a boxer punching you or a Thai fighter kicking you.

[@SmileFreestyle-hx2rc]

As a striker myself I give the win to grappling in general - whether wrestling or BJJ. But if we break down which type of fight then that's a whole different story. Against multiple people? boxing. Followed by Muay Thai. Unless you're like me and way better at kicks than anything then Muay Thai first place. But thinking average dude no shoulder problems etc. Boxing first Against a guy your size? Wrestling or BJJ Against a guy much bigger than you? BJJ
