Wich martial arts is similar to boxing ?
The difference between MT and KB is the use of Elbow and knees.


In MT you can use them but in KB not.


In traditional MT(which is illegal) they use the forehead for striking the opponents face too.But as I said it's an illegal sport.


You better not to start with MT rightaway.


Do some Kyokushin, then shift to Kick Boxing and then carry on with Muay Thai.


Kyokushin teaches you the dicipline and the techniques too.It also opens your eye to efficiently see the comming punches and kicks.Since your face won't recieve any punches, you'll easily keep your eyes opn to see where you are getting punched.Kicks are much slower than punches so you'll have much easier time to see them coming to your face.


When shifted to Kick Boxing, you'll only add the punching to the face techniques and will advance very fast.


After KB, when goint to MT, You almost have 90% of the thing, so you'll only pick up the knee and elbow techniques.





By the way, Kick Boxing and MT, have deifferences other than just knee and elbow theniques.


For example MT kicks travel a sharper and less round path than KB kicks.


and the attack and defence strategy is very different.


But being good in one martial art, you can get good in all the similar arts very easily.


So I recommend
Reply:chinese boxing, called wing tsun. or wing chun. its all about fighting close combat, hitting the deadliest spots with mostly all hand techniques. its a great martial art to learn and very effective. hope this helped and you find whats best for you.
Reply:You might like San Shou because it's Muay Thai with standing throws.





If you just want to throw punches, boxing is probably the best thing for you. Muay Thai mixes up a little with kicks, elbows, and knees. San Shou mixes it up more with throws.
Reply:Muay thai indeed is like boxing, but more complete! as it also includes legs, elbows and knees.


Kickboxing includes the same as muay thai, except elbows and knees.





Other suggestions you might like would be San shou (as the previous poster suggested) , kyokushen and shidokan karate





I hope this information was useful





good luck!
