yea, i did Muay thai for the longest and went to MMA and got rolled by some kid who knew BJJ :[, so once i learn how to avoid all their trickery im going back to kicking people in the face with the fat of my shin :]

I think you can learn most of what there is to know about Muay Thai in a few years. BJJ on the other hand takes many years. I like to mix Kali into it because it combines both and I get to use weapons. You can always use the same moves in Kali without weapons as well. It's kind of like Krav Maga

you can learn alot from muay tha in a year or 2.. but you dont know how deadly it can be until you've trained for a very very long time, after you master technique it's all about striking the proper places and when to strike, the more you train the easier it is to one hit your opponent.. even the best of opponents.

True
A lot of the places I saw people get hit I.E. Elbow to the top of the head or base of the skull, underarm didn't make sense until I was struck there or saw someone else get hit there. A few of my friend have trained in Wing chun and are teaching me some of their moves. I'm king of excited about the 2 inch punch. My goal is to take a lil bit of everything and use it to my advantage.

yea, you'd be suprised how deadly a downward elbow to the top of someones head is.. so many quick ways to end a fight with muay thai, especially on a boxer or someone who tries to keep their distance to strike, people who try to move in close the distance and take you down, you have to have perfect timing and hit just the right spot or you're virtually fucked.

Yeah I have been watching a lot of Muay Boran videos and I must say I am quite impressed with the style. This is why I like Muay Thai and Kali so much. Both teach you to move in to the strikes instead of backing away. It's a bit difficult to get use to in the beginning stages due to taking the hit most of the time. Then when you learn to defend them you have a pretty good advantage on your opponent. This is one reason why I want to learn a few wing chun moves. It is another extreme close combat fighting style.
