I'm going to beat that drum yet again: It ain't the style, it's the warrior.
Somebody remind me of just how many middle-weight full-contact championships Chuck Norris won using what seems to be regarded by many here as woefully inadequate tae kwon do?
If you're dedicated, mauy thai is an excellent fighting style. If you are a dilletante looking only for buns of steel and a new title to drop at cocktail parties, muay thai ain't worth squat.
On the same paw, someone who trains and dedicates himself to tae kwon do, takes it with a warrior mindset, and learns, then tae kwon do is as effective as any other style out there.
