Muay Thai Kickboxing is a combat sport from Thailand that uses stand-up striking along with various clinching techniques. Muay Thai Kickboxing is referred to as the "Art of Eight Limbs" because it makes use of punches, kicks, elbows and knee strikes, thus using eight "points of contact", as opposed to "two points" (fists) in boxing and "four points" (hands and feet) used in other more regulated combat sports, such as kickboxing . There are 3 focuses to muay thai kickboxing training:
1. Thai pad training is a cornerstone of Muay Thai Kickboxing conditioning which involves practicing punches, kicks, knees, and elbow strikes with a trainer wearing thick pads which cover the forearms and hands. These special pads are used to absorb the impact of the fighter’s strikes and allow the fighter to react to the attacks of the pad holder.
2. Heavy bag training is a conditioning and power exercise that reinforces the techniques practiced on the pads.
3. Sparring is a means to test technique, skills, range, strategy, and timing against a partner.
BJJ - Brazilian Jiu-jitsu (and No Gi grappling) promotes the concept that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend against a bigger, stronger attacker by using leverage and proper technique – most notably by applying joint-locks and chokeholds to defeat the other person.
BJJ training can be used for sport grappling tournaments (gi and no-gi) and mixed martial arts (MMA) competition or self defense.
Sparring (commonly referred to as "rolling.") and live drilling plays a major role in training, and a premium is placed on performance, especially in competition, in relation to progressing through its ranking systems.
The Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu ranking system awards a practitioner different colored belts (worn as part of the uniform) to signify increasing levels of technical knowledge and practical skill.
Progression through Jiu-jitsu ranks involves four promotional stripes on each belt before receiving the next rank. The coloured belt ranking system is as follows: white, blue, purple, brown and finally the black belt. The journey to black belt at a reputable school can take anywhere from 8-13 years depending upon how frequently a person trains.
