What is the difference between Muay Thai kickboxing and Cardio Kickboxing or Tae-Bo?
Although Cardio Kickboxing or Tae-Bo is a wonderful workout regimen that works the individual’s stamina and to the certain extent, their technique… It is vastly different than Muay Thai kickboxing. We will focus just on the main difference. Point-Of-Contact. In POC, an individual learns impact and resistance through blows, as well as the body’s ability to withstand them. The impact of Muay Thai blows is extremely powerful. To understand POC in Muay Thai takes a great deal of patience and effort. The only way to do this is through repetition by knowledgeable teachers. This is why when people watch a Muay Thai fight, it fascinates them that a fighter is able to keep going after taking a roundhouse shin kick to the head!
