Does anyone else also use techniques from other arts such as TKD or Karate without having a background in those arts? I was only formally trained in Muay Thai and I never had any training in Taekwondo or Karate but I studied, practiced and developed some of the techniques (Kick variations of TKD, Blitz technique in Karate) of the two arts. Now I find those techniques to be useful and effective in sparring because it catches my opponent off guard (Such as switching to a bladed stance mid-spar or a fake low kick to a hook kick or a missed roundhouse to a spinning hook kick). Ever since that, my fighting style has been Muay Thai but with many variations of kicks and I can also adapt to a bladed stance.
TL;DR – Anyone else also using techniques from other martial arts that you find effective blending with Muay Thai without having a background/training in those martial arts?
