Judo helped me with wrestling and taught me some good grappling techniques. Tae Kwan Do taught me self control and got me in pretty good shape, some good kicking techniques too (and some basic weapons training). The little Kenpo I learned helped with hand speed and rushing. Muay Thai focuses a lot on elbow and knee strikes and of course great conditioning, it should be a blast. As you said each martial art has something unique and I've never gotten REALLY deep into one art. Like you said Urge, I may have to have knee surgery, my knee pops out and back in once in a while but hopefully Muay Thai will help with that. The instructor said to try it for a while and if it gets too painful have the surgery, heal up, and try again.
