🧵 Should I learn Muay Thai?
Anonymous at Sun, 11 Feb 2024 16:29:00 UTC No. 186520
I’m curious about starting Muay Thai as a hobbyist, but I have a couple questions first:
1. Is Muay Thai worth learning if you’re about 5’9”, 160 pounds? I’m a skinnyfat dyel and am fully aware I need to bulk up a bit.
2. Will I feel more confident defending myself as a hobbyist? I’m not interested in competing since I’m 30 and need my brain for work, but I’d like to feel like I could handle myself (or at least put up a fight) in case I got jumped or something.

Been doing Muay thai for a year, im 6ft and a guy that is 5'5 and has like 5 years of training ahead of me always destroys me in sparring so you are at a good height and i can tell it gave me a lot of confidence about myself not only in a scenario i had to fight but in my life overall, the training and sparring can get a little intense so when you get through that you feel like the baddest MF alive

You should just stop worrying about muh image and just fucking do it. You'll have fun anyways.

In a year from now, would you rather be you without any MT skills, or you with some MT skills?

Eat a bit cleaner and start training
