I'm wondering if my thoughts on this are correct.
Muay Thai is better for fitness and general athleticism than BJJ. It's more of a cardio workout and requires more flexibility and athleticism to execute basic techniques. You see way less fat people at a Muay Thai practice than at a BJJ one.
BJJ is significantly better for self-defense. With three years of training 2x a week, the average BJJ hobbyist can reliably control and submit people significantly bigger, stronger, and faster than himself. What are the chances that a 2x week hobbyist striker can knock out someone with 50 lbs on him at three years?
I think the level of involvement required for a striker to reliably control bigger, stronger opponents is actually taking fights, whereas pretty much any hobbyist grappler can accomplish this with enough time. I could definitely be wrong about this, interested in people's thoughts.
