I'm currently training in Mixed Martial arts and the striking we use is Thai Boxing (Muay Thai). Though it's effective with the kicks, knees, and elbows, I feel that the art of Muay Thai lacks traditional boxing techniques such as focus on movement, working the angles, and so forth. I'm wondering how I should incorporate the tips on the site into my MMA training. Let me know what I should be doing. Thanks.

hmmm.

The lack of angles and movement in MT comes from concern that your oponent can kick, elbow, and knee you while in western boxing all you have to worry about is getting punched, or sometimes low blowed/head butted depending on who your fighting ;). But in other words, bobbing and weaving around avoiding puches doesn't exactly do too well considering you can receive a round house kick to your legs, ribs, and head. Not to mention a knee to the gut, ouch! If I didn't answer your question or went the other way from what you were talking about, it's probably cus I was wathching tv at the same time, but hey I tried :D
