So, correct me if I'm wrong, in Muay Thai there is less focus on head punches due to the scoring system, but still good boxing nevertheless, the stance is squared, kicks are a few but very effective and they hit with the shin. The style includes Knees, elbows and clinch work. In comparison however "Standard" Kickboxing, like K1 ruleset Kickboxing for example, has more emphasis on punches to the head and boxing, I see from the matches that it's more fast paced, the stance is bladed, no clinch, no elbows. I think their low kicks hit with the shin but they have other Van Damme esque high kicks that hit with the instep. All things considered, which one of these different approach is considered "better" overall for fighting and self defense? I hope I explained myself well. I got to decide between training Kickboxing K1 or Muay Thai but I'm confused. Thanks!
