![]() ![]() ![]() What Is Muay Thai’s 10 Point Scoring System? Legally you can score with the following techniques, you can strike every part of the body aside from the groin, but there is more to scoring than adding up the number of strikes you have delivered to your opponent. I was told by Andy Howson in a zoom call that countries like France are notoriously biased towards their own fighters, so if your fighting in France secure that knockout! You can see the official scoring system in WMC Muay Thai’s website here but the scoring will vary a lot depending on where you are, as different countries score in different ways with England scoring the most similar to Thai scoring. In a single round, if a fighter is knocked down three times, the referee will end the fight. Just like in Boxing, if a fighter is knocked down they must get up within 10 seconds and show they can fight otherwise it is a technical knockout, if they get up the other fighter scores a knockdown which scores good points. You win a Muay Thai fight either by causing your opponent to be knocked out so he/she cannot continue to fight or by a technical knockout if the referee thinks the fighter cannot continue or win by points scored by judges after the 3-5 rounds are contested without any fighter being knocked out.
