as long as you eat and rest properly you can train all you want but as some have said take it easy just now as youve just started take time and build it up.

cant say which is best as ive never seen Hapkido but on a self defence point like inyctrotter say's Muay Thai is a fighting art,What u want to think about when it comes to street self defence is while you've got someone in a lock what you gonna do with the his mates?? 9 times out of 10 when you need to use self defence theres not just 1 attacking you "scum dont work alone".If your lucky and theres only 1 then locks are fine. Thats just my opinion but im sure somebody will disagree (6 years working as a doorman you get to see what works and what doesnt)

Cheers Jack. I have looked at it and it looks good but the problem is, are they as good as they say on the website??? you know what its like looks & sounds great 'till you get there.Theres quite a few but its what one to choose????

Has anyone been to Thailand to train in Muay Thai? I am thinking of going over for 3 weeks to train but unsure of what camp to goto as there are a few.I want to go for some hard training not as a tourist.any advice would be great.

damm! kickchick seems quite clued up.Ive been to quite alot of different classes and what gets me is the fact that the instructors are giving out exercises that are high risk and dont know it, but how do you tell them without them taking offence to it, im no expert but i try to get as much info as i can.

theres no point in wasting time just get right in there you'll loose the weight and tone up in no time.

hi everyone! ive been doing muay thai for a while now and finally getting round to fighting! looking forward to picking ur brains!!! take it easy!!

Well said Jack! The problem with alot of martial artists is that they do all the hard training and concentrate on technique,Fighting etc but forget about the most important thing... food you gotta fuel that body properly.One thing i keep hearing when it comes to abs is" do leg raises" but leg raises dont work the abs they work the hip flexors, ok your abs tense when doing them but your abs arent attached to your legs??? take it easy!

whats the best way to condition the shins for a fight?
