I kinda liked the fact you could use your elbows and knee's. I think it would toughen me up, which is what I need.

Hey everyone I've decided I want to take up a martial art and the one that I feel drawn to most is Muay Thai. I have found a club in my area that does Muay Thai mixed classes. The trouble is people keep saying things to me, like "Oh I wouldn't do that, it's too violent, especially for a girl" So, I wanna know, is it really as bad as people say? and do you think it's suitable for a 5'5'', 112lb female? Thanx
