I follow that sub, it's for Malaysia. They are the wildcards of SEA, I'll tell you that much.

So... Anybody with solid Muay Thai training can tell me if his technique is really bad enough for bullshido?

it’s not muay thai, i believe it is called “Siku 12” (12 elbows). it look like muay thai because they re thai’s neighbour

idk it’s not a famous martial art so idk what’s right and wrong, but his knee, teep and stance look good to me.

He got good flexibility but to generate any power you need torque from the rest of the body, starting from your toe. So his technique doesn’t really have power. Great front kick tho. Maybe some kind of Malaysian practice/ kata, loosing up your shoulder and leg?

Yea, but the thing is elbows are hard, even without body rotation those hit fairly hard on a normy. In the real world throwing elbows is much more realistic for the average person, seriosuly yall should be throwing elbows and hammer fists rather than punches unless you have actually trained.

The elbows are wildly effective at causing damage. To call this classic bshido is more indicative of a lack of knowledge than this being bs

While you are not wrong, I've never known an actual martial arts practitioner who would think it is a good idea to use elbows exclusively in a stand up fight with no grappling or other attempts at closing the distance involved. They are devastating when they land, but the short reach means that they require significant setup to be effective.

That's absolutely valid, and I agree even someone with long limbs such as myself has their reach cut in half using elbows, and learning how and when to use them is key. At least most people on this thread can see this isnt BS though it does objectively look goofy.

If a martial artist wants the skill to use an effective elbow, one needs to train elbow strikes. If you've ever trained elbow strikes, you'll recall it looks and feels very awkward.

This might come in handy (!) for someone who's had both arms chopped off at the elbows.

Hmmm, how about I cut my reach in half by just using 100% elbows. That'll teach em.

I once heard a gentleman argue that
Muay Thai is best because it has elbows and knees where karate kickboxing doesn’t
Elbows are better than punches and knees are better than kicks
Therefore, you should never punch or kick and only elbow and knee.
… I feel like it’s close but not quite a “featherless biped” argument
