Bad_Vibes Posted September 2, 2004 Posted September 2, 2004 How many of you remember your first class and how you felt after? My previous Martial Arts experience was with TKD. I only spent about a year during two different periods of time in that style so I was by no means an expert. But I had a good grasp on how training went. And both times I stopped going mostly out of my dislike of point fighting/sparing and Katas. This Muay Thai class was exactly what I was looking for. I remember spending months in TKD kicking and punching the air. This class was a couple of practice kicks then right to kicking the pads the entire time. Right now I have a lump and red blotches on the top of my foot from a few mis kicks. But what better way to learn how to kick than that. I don't mean to diss any TKD guys, I have a great deal of respect for anybody that masters any Martial Art. I just really like this no nonesense approach much better.
Musse Posted September 2, 2004 Posted September 2, 2004 Well, I called the Muay Thai club a minute ago and arranged an appointment with them tomorrow. The man said he's going to do a 45 minute session with us to show what Muay Thai is about. Kinda scary when he asked me "do you wanna fight in matches?", I were just watching this brutal Muay Thai fight so my reflexes screamed "HELL NO!" I'll post here tomorrow night, we'll see how it went. - Musse "Be careful: The toes you step on today may be connected to the * you'll be kissing tomorrow"
SevenStar Posted September 2, 2004 Posted September 2, 2004 fighting isn't that bad - they won't put you in the ring until they feel you are ready. Enjoy the class - tell us about it.
Bad_Vibes Posted September 2, 2004 Author Posted September 2, 2004 Yes Musse, let us know how it goes. I have another one tonight and after last night I was wondering if I was gonna be up to it. But I actually feel great today with only a little sorness in my feet. I guess getting the heart rate way up was a good thing.
