NaturalMystic79 Posted July 7, 2003 Posted July 7, 2003 First I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Jay and I'll be 24 years old next month. I'm 5'8" and around 160lbs, so I'm definately a smaller guy. I've been doing weight lifting (powerlifting, specifically) the past 3 years to become stronger and feel better about myself. I did make some decent gains but I got injured every now and then and I think that sort of training is not the most practical. Anyways, I am very interested in learning a martial arts that is challenging, fun, a good cardiovascular workout, and will make me a deadly opponent if I was ever in a street fight situation. I would say I faster than average reflexes, and consider myself pretty agile. I'm very excited to start Muay Thai and was wondering what advice you guys could give. There is a school here in Omaha that is said to be great, and I'll check it out sometime this week. I just wanted to introduce myself and give a background of me, and what I want to do. I'm very excited to learn Muay Thai!
TJS Posted July 7, 2003 Posted July 7, 2003 welcome..look forward to lots of pain MT is the real deal and as such you will go through alot of conditioning.
NaturalMystic79 Posted July 7, 2003 Author Posted July 7, 2003 Thanks for the welcome. Yeah, I have chosen Muay Thai because I definately want to get toughened up, both physically and mentally. Bring on the pain!

Sxty8GT Posted July 24, 2003 Posted July 24, 2003 hello. I dont know anything, so I was hoping someone could help me out a lil bit. I am 17 and just now getting interested in MA. I have seen lil bits and pieces of diff styles online, but I am mainly going for more self defense than attack. Muh Thai and Kali-Eskirma caught my eye a lil bit. Is that right or wrong to start off with ?
Ti Posted August 2, 2003 Posted August 2, 2003 MT is the way to go. Good for you. I kinda regret choosing karate, but oh well. It build a foundation.
SpiritWolf Posted August 4, 2003 Posted August 4, 2003 I think Muay Thai is the best I tried Karate once and it really wasnt my thing. Muay Thai makes me feel energetic even after a training session.
