Do you enjoy having good brain function? Does the prospect of early-onset Alzhiemer's disease, Parkinson's disease, memory loss, or decreased cognitive function have some appeal for you?
Muay Thai is a brutal ring sport. You will expect to take heavy blows to the head from feet, fists, elbows, and knees. You will be knocked out if you compete, and you will suffer concussions.
If you have been ignoring the news for the last couple of years, concussions are bad news. They are a major sports scandal in all sorts of contact sports.
As one commentator said of the sport.. "In Thailand, fighters start young, and careers are short."
Hello, I'm a 15 year old girl turning 16 years old soon. I do have some martial arts experience, I have been taking kempo karate for 5 years and BJJ for 2 years. I'm really interested in Muay Thai and I want to get as much information on it as possible. Am I a good age to start? Is the training very intense? Thank you in advance.
