Is it weird to start Muay Thai at 14?

Posted at: 2014-09-13 
Hi, I'm 14 and want to start Muay Thai, but everywhere I look it seems that everyone who starts it is 20+. Is it weird that i'm starting at 14?

Thanks

No it's not weird at all. In Thailand there are children starting at the ripe young age of 5. Even doing competition fighting at such a young age.

From another perspective, Medieval Knights started training at age 7.

So it's not even close to being weird. I started Martial Arts when I was 10. As for "everyone starting 20+"...

True and not true. I can see that in MT bc it isn't exactly geared for the typical american child who can't handle being hit and training hard. BUT 75% about of "martial artists" are children, perhaps less, but it's a-lot.

Have fun.

Train Hard, Fight Harder

no it is better start at your age

i started when i was 17

and judo is the best combination for muay thai clinch

so do judo and muay thai to be well rounded

Not at all
