muaythaigirl Posted June 24, 2002 Share Posted June 24, 2002 Hi i'm new on this board. I have been reading your posts for the past few days, some of you guys are so funny. Anyway, I will start taking my Muay thai lessons in late July or August. What should I do to get in shape in the meantime? I am 25, is that to old to start Muay thai? And I weigh 114 and am 5 whole feet tall . Is that to short for the art. I hope not. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabid hamster Posted June 24, 2002 Share Posted June 24, 2002 muay thai should get you in shape but until then try jump roping, i've noticed it helps a lot. hope you have fun in muay thai. It is only with the heart that one can see clearly, for the most essential things are invisible to the eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pacificshore Posted June 24, 2002 Share Posted June 24, 2002 MuayThaiGirl, Along with your cardio preperation, don't forget to stretch as much as possible. The more limber, the less possibility for injury. Also your age and size have nothing to do with your ability, so go for it and have fun!!

G95champ Posted June 24, 2002 Share Posted June 24, 2002 Your never to old, or to small. That is the great thing about martial arts anyone can do them at any time in their life if they got the will to. (General George S. Patton Jr.) "It's the unconquerable soul of man, and not the nature of the weapon he uses, that ensures victory." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eye of the Tiger Posted July 4, 2002 Share Posted July 4, 2002 I don't think the no age limit applys to every single martial art. The age linit applys I think to fighting MAs such as boxing, kickboxing, Muay Thai. I mean lets be honest, you wont get you old gran doing Muay Thai fighting. But your not to old to start, so just do it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
