It's pure nonsense. They explained it once saying that "some countries" use the belt system in Muay Thai (Brazil for example). Well ok, let's do elbows in Boxing or BJJ then in some countries. Ridiculous.
I have a question then; Edson Barboza has a listed rank on his wiki for a black prajied in Muay Thai, I'm pretty sure I've other fighters with that. Does anyone know about it, is it a coach/team specific thing??
The prajeed is used in Muay Boran and the colors correspond to your Khan level. This is the only real "grading" system used in many gyms. We did that too but using Karate belts or different colors of t-shirts or shorts is specific to a gym and has absolutely no meaning on an international level. Go to Thailand and tell them you are a Muay Thai orange belt, t-shirt or short and wait for the reaction...
he’s not saying they aren’t skilled, he’s just saying a muay thai black belt isn’t a real thing, there are extremely talented strikers in muay thai that isn’t his point
@koen4261 you didn't get my point. Saying you're a Muay Thai black belt doesn't mean you are not skilled in Muay Thai but it means that you are not educated and informed about it. And actually in my opinion belts do not show your exact skills. They only mean you've trained long enough (and paid enough money) to get the next color. Have you never seen a white belt crush a purple belt in BJJ for example? I did, many times. Cheers!
I’m a black belt in boxing 🥊
And I am a 5th degree red belt in swimming and ping-pong
