    The best thing you can do to get yourself ready for your first Muay Thai class is: “ To Just Go To Your First Class “ don’t over think it. Show up and when it’s done show up again. Stay consistent and the rest will all fall into place 👊🏾.

      ​@@Grownupbobbyhill yeah it's really fun and challenging, but the training is EXHAUSTING
      it also doesn't help that i have chronic fatigue (basically my energy levels are very low every day), after every 5-minute 'round' of training i am so tired that i can't even stand straight
      because of this my coach wanted me to go home and stop, but i said no and that i'll still continue
      i think that he got a bit of respect for me after that
      the community aspect of it is definitely a bonus, most people are there to work on themselves in a way or another
      lastly i sadly couldn't go to the training today and had to stay home (it's happening right now, which is even more annoying, i guess) due to a muscle tear

    I'm not in the best shape, but I work a manual labor job, and go to the gym 3 times a week. I'm 27, 5'10", & 210lbs. I say this as a warning: my first few MT classes were GRUELING! For any MT noobies, this is my advice: RUN! Before you join the gym, run. Run every day. Run for 3+ miles. You need insane stamina for MT. Most days, I would be gassed after the warm-up, to the point I couldn't keep my guard up, much less spar and practice. It's not a pleasant feeling to let your sparring partner down because you're too exhausted to participate. If your cardio is not at a good level, you will struggle like I did.

    I started muay thai a month ago, I am 16 years old, 5"7, 140lbs, my journey started at the gym 1 year before in 2022 august, weightlifting, cardio, running. It was a great thing that I attended my first class with great physicality and cardio.
    My legs were bruised for 2 weeks from the kicks I took, they weren't that powerful, but we had to repeat it many times and you know.. the legs weren't used to it. It's better now, my legs are getting used to the constant kicking and the knees, they still hurt, but it's not as bad as it was. I would recommend beginners to take this into consideration and prepare for sore legs and painful days. I could barely walk after my second class :D but I'm still going, I see improvement and without PAIN and HARD WORK, nothing is achieved! That's my experience, thank you so much if you read it!

    I agree as a Muay Thai noob who has been going for a few months taking care of your legs is important. Make sure to stretch your hips and calves. Go on a quick walk, hike, swim, or jog after my first class my calves were so sore and tight I could hardly walk. Otherwise everything is spot on lots of cardio to warm up then pad or bag work!

    Thank you for such useful and informative content! It definitely helped give me confidence to begin muay thai and some useful information to know before starting.
    I am currently a severely unfit 25 year old who is looking for a fun way to work out and get fitter.
    I’m 286lbs / 130kg / 20 stone 6lbs and when I say severely unfit, I mean it. Especially since having Covid. Walking up a flight of stairs is enough to get me losing my breath.
    I went to my first muay thai class last Tuesday and had a great time. Skipping over a rope was definitely tiring and due to my weight, my calves and shins really felt it, but I still enjoyed.
    I practiced getting into the correct stance and a couple of small combos. Luckily, a friend was also interested and came along so we could practice together in the session.
    I’m excited to see how far I can go and how much fitter I will become through weekly classes!

    Hi I would like to know if muay thai compared to other contact sports (mma, kickboxing) is somewhat safer for the brain being quite scared by the new CTE data. I am asking this question because I noticed that in Muay thai there is more emphasis on body strikes and fewer head strikes than in other sports and those are delivered by lighter weight fighters. Is this a fair round? Are these reasons real? And another reason would be that I see many former muay thai fighters reaching their 60's and having a career of over 300 fights and being mentally well. I ask because I have a 7 year old boy who wants a career in contact sports either kickboxing, mma or muay thai.

      I was in the exact same position you are except i do Jiu-Jitsu, but same as you my mom especially was skeptical. The main thing she was scared of was the hitting. I had wanted to do boxing for years but covid happened and of course the parent situation. A few months ago i started planting the seeds of trying out Muay Thai (plus someone we know does it). What convinced her and my dad to let me do Muay Thai was self defense because i have my Jiu-Jitsu on the ground and i would have Muay Thai on the feet. Plus i’m going to college now and taking public transport.
      SO BASICALLY, I’m saying come up with some reasons that Muay Thai would benefit you in the long run and slowly introduce the idea.
