guys, thanks for the replies.....Okay, what is NHB, is that no holds barred? hmmmm, if it is, i wish i had the time. I also have two children to support, gotta work. but just out of curiousity where would one train for that? at home? The coach thing is a very cool idea, but i'm not the kind of guy that likes to watch, i'm more of a hands on guy, i'm sure you know what i mean.By the way, anyone ever heard of the SikTai club in Winnipeg, Manitoba,Canada?

Not a lot in the way of Martial Arts, like i said i dabbled in some when i was younger. But, i do have some exp. in Olympic wrestling ang Greco roman wres., actually i won the western canadian , that was a few years ago. But i work very hard for a living and as far as toughness goes, i'll bet i'm as tough as they come( not in the Muay Tai ring of course). I'm just looking for something to focus on, tired of working out in the gym( pumping iron). just seems to be a dead end, its not like i'm of competition material or anything, just a fairly strong man for being 40 and only 175 lbs., thanks guys for the responses, looking forward to the feedback...

ok guys, (and girls!)are you telling me that strength will not play a part in mui tai? Dont get me wrong, i really appreciate the feedback but i am curious, don't body mechanics incorporate strength? I am really looking forward to this, and sharing experiences with you, only wish i had started a about 20 yrs. ago

listen up people, hope u can gimme a hand. I am a 40 year old guy who's just going to get in to muay tai. Tell me honestly, will i be able to get it going. i have dabbled in various martial arts when i was younger, but nothing to serious. I guess that i should add that i can bench 320lbs., deadlift around 440lbs and can curl roughly 145 for reps, so i am not a slouch.I have to tell you, i really admire the style of fighting and the people that do it.
