Muay Thai
A friend and I have decided to take Muay Thai classes. I've taken a bit of judo, kenpo, and tae kwan do... but never something like Muay Thai. Has anybody else tried this? What can I expect? I have a bad knee which I'm looking to strengthen (slightly torn acl which I refuse to get surgery for) while learning better striking but I'm not sure how intense the Muary Thai starts off.

I've been in contact with the instructors through e-mail (they're out of town right now) and they seem great. I guess I'll just have to jump in and see what happens, the only people I know who took any Muay Thai are those who learned just the basics to add it to their MMA repertoire. That's good and all but learning how to throw an elbow and knee here and there isn't really studying the art. Like Freak I'm a big fan of the art itself so I hope it goes well, unlike the VERY short period in which I tried to learn Capoeira. Wow was that a disaster...

I'm more of a "Moo Goo Gai Pan" fan myself.

Nice, I wish there was a place around here where I could learn Muay Thai. Unfortuantely the closest place is an hour away. You lucky bastard.

what's the difference between this and all the other martial arts. Each has something unique, what's this got going for it?

i'm looking at knee surgery again myself ..

already have a MRI scheduled.

after that i'm going to take tae kwan do.

My son's been doing it (should be grading for his first belt - orange - very soon) and i've liked what i've seen - he has a great teacher that i'll hopefully get as well.

I'm drawn to the stretching exercises which is something i really need at my age.

Buddy of mine was National Champion for his weight class a couple years back...the things those people can do with their feet is just wrong.
