Muay Thai
 

There is a local studio (20-30 mins) that offers a class in Muay Thai once a week. I was wondering if anyone has knowledge of this art, and if i should ask any questions to the studio. I will mainly be doing this for fitness and to stay active and since it is once a week i can fit it in between classes. Also what would be to costly for a once a week class?

here is their website

its a pretty accurate movie about muay thai.

its a very practical skill to learn as far as fighting goes, its definitly a good thing to learn if youre interested.

Fuck Muay Thai, boxing man boxing :P

Boxing man boxing.

Reason I say boxing is because the only people I meet that can actually hold their own in a fight are boxers.

Ive seen d00des from Karate to Muay Thai who cant do fuck all in a real fight.

Nor are they in shape.

Masters of the sport are a different thing.

But if want to learn to fight, hit a boxing gym. Get in shape, and get your ass in the ring and get yo' ass whooped a couple of times to see that you aint shit, then spar some more till you know what you doing :wink:

I shouldnt speak cause my cardio is shit.

But I can still get my ass in the ring for 2rounds and whoop some ass... :wink: Cause my buddy just took up kick boxing. I havent been in a ring in ages. But anyway, I whooped his 1 min in :D I still got the moves.

You see because you are serious about it :wink:

However most of these joints here, are made to look like some fucking yoga class......They dont teach you how to fight but to scream lol...And mad respect to those who are in there to learn how to brake a leg. :wink:

In boxing that just doesnt happen. Most people who get into it, if they dont get out the next week, they stay in, and know what they are doing.

Thats the only difference.

I always got my money on Mirko

But Vovchanchyn is a beast.

A friend of mine used to be at the top of his weightclass in Europe in Muay Thai (No BS), he said boxers were easy to fight simply because after one or two kicks at the legs it would be over for them.

Why are you guys comparing Muay Thai and boxing? They're too different, really.

SDFMALEX brought it up.

theres lots of muay thai influence in mma

^^^ is that you?

i am basically looking to tone up, i like my weight and build, i could get a little more cut. But i just want an all around good build. i am 5'10 and around 165-170lbs (depends on the day). I was very active in high school but i had a nerve problem in my leg and had to stop. so i was/am looking to get back into being active.

lol krav maga/israeli self defence will do for me as its also used by loads and loads of special forces/militaries/swat teams and so on :)
gets u into shape pretty well also 8) but its technically not a sport, muay thai is i believe? im in no way a martial arts expert lol u can beat the shit outta me :P

true, i'm not an agressive person at all, i never get into fights, gladly. i just like knowing that i could probably get out of a situation in one piece, and its also good for my confidence.
Kickboxing is probably a very effective way of defending yourself also, but if i see it on TV it just looks kinda vulgar and agressive to me...(boxing looks cleaner to me) but ofcourse im measuring with a double standard because krav maga is probably a lot more brutal, but you just never see the effects of it like in a kickboxing match.
