I'm starting my first day of Muay Thai training later today.

sore ankles. Every new martial session ends with sore legs as you learn legwork.

Warmup will be hard. Then you'll probably be training some simple moves in pairs, like straight punches with focus on technique and leg movement. It'll be exhausting as fuck. You won't actually hit or kick anything for many weeks though.

DON'T GET DISCOURAGED.

For real though, a striking martial art means your likely to be doing a lot of conditioning that you are not used to. Things WILL come together if you apply yourself but be prepared for a rough first few weeks maybe month of rather dull conditioning.

Intense cardio, more intense than any running on my own or Football practice or anything else I've ever done.

I've been doing striking for many more years than grappling and I have to say. Striking arts I feel like require less cardio. Maybe I'm just used to it, muscle memory and all, so I tire less when striking.

I can spar three full 5 minute rounds full blast, but doing some grappling with the Gi tires me out in 3 minutes flat.

None the less Muay Thai is bad ass and will condition you and give you one hell of a body if you stick with it.

It depends on the school you go to. I go to a gym called The Yard in Los Angeles and they don't really babysit anyone. You get thrown to the wolves right from the start. You'll be sparring and working out with pros even, but don't worry you won't get hurt either, they'll hold back, but you'll be sore the next day

Learn some grappling too. If you go to the ground and he's stronger he might make you cry uncle.

And you better take it seriously, even though Muay Thai is a better art, if this guy is a good and serious boxer, he can still fuck you up in front of your used up putrid cunt of a girlfriend

Tiger shots are a bitch to do.

Even if I trained muay thai I don't think I'd ever have the balls to step in a ring to compete. I almost had a mental breakdown during my first tkd exam when I was a kid, seriously don't know how you guys do it in boxing and mt.
