Benefits of Kickboxing for Muay Thai:
Muay Thai practitioners can benefit from learning strong boxing skills that Kickboxing can offer.
Adding a spinning kick to your Muay Thai arsenal can be a powerful secret weapon, as most Thai boxers won’t expect you to throw one and it’s a chance for a KO if you land it.
The devastating Dutch style low kicks are worth learning too as you can combine them with punches when getting right up into your opponents face (your opponent won’t be safe from your low kicks even if they close the distance)
Benefits of Muay Thai for Kickboxing:
1. On the other side of the coin, the strong clinching abilities of Muay Thai can be a powerful benefit kickboxers, especially if you fight K1. Even though K1 kickboxing does not have full clinch, if you have strong clinching experience, you can often still control your opponent and throw powerful fast knees as soon as you clinch. You can even sweep them from the clinch.
2. Muay Thai knee abilities can give Kickboxers a powerful attack to utilize as a counter to punches or as a powerful strike from the clinch
3. Muay Thai clinch can allow kickboxers dominant control as soon as you clinch

Muay thai is alot more painfull and close combat, kickboxing is more technical
there is no extra advantage with elbows and knees since kickboxing and almost every other martial art also uses them. its more of a personal preference then advantage. kickboxing has almost the same techniques as muay thai
We dont know anyone named Yods Of Loark.
Aside from the extra advantages from elbows and knees how come MMA fighters do muay thai over kickboxing is it that much better or is it just preference it seems as tho every fighter trains im muay thai but barly any in kickboxing is it useful for being a mma fighter
