The Interplay of BJJ and Muay Thai
Both Muay Thai and BJJ are important in mixed martial arts (MMA). Muay Thai offers strong striking skills that can overpower opponents. On the other hand, BJJ provides excellent ground fighting techniques. Together, these skills make fighters very versatile and dangerous in the cage.
Fighters with a good BJJ foundation can confidently handle ground fights, while those skilled in Muay Thai can dominate with their striking. Using both, fighters can effectively cover all aspects of a fight, which is why mastering both is key in MMA.
