BJJ is a martial art originated from Jujutsu and based on ground fighting (ne-waza) and submission holds. It focuses on the skill of taking an opponent to the ground, controlling one's opponent, gaining a dominant position and using a number of techniques to force them into submission via joint locks or chokeholds.
Muay Thai is a stand up striking martial art originating in Thailand. It is known as the art of 8 limbs, referring to the eight points of contact that can be used to strike — 2 fists, 2 elbows, 2 knees, 2 shins.
Are Kickboxing and Muay Thai similar? Muay Thai is its own combat sport with its own style, but the most notable difference is the use of 8 points of striking in Muay Thai, compared to only 4 in Kickboxing (punches/kicks).
