Hello /fit/
I'm currently a total dyel (6 months into serious lifting) and people keep telling me to focus fully on lifting and less on cardio since I'm already thin and should focus all my energy on building muscles. However, I've been interested in learning some martial art for a while now, and my new gym allows me to do so. Should I join the class? Or should I postpone it for when I'm already better built? Does aerobic work really diminish your gains?

Don't be autistic. Join the class if you want to.

You also get a lot of respect for being part of the inaugural class if it becomes successful
The local Muay Thai and Brazilian JiuJitsu gym is very popular due to firefighters, police officers, etc coming in to build strength, gains and fitness
People who need to be in fantastic physical condition come in to do muay thai.
do the fucking class.

Join now, give it a try. What are the options?

Muay thai and karate, I think. But as I have some experience with karate, I wanted to go into muay thai. Also because I wanted something more brutal/physical, to build up my endurance against pain etc.
The only options for MA in my town are:
>A religious boxing club (owner trains for Jesus) that is only open for three hours a day four days a week
>Three mcdojos
>And a hapkido club at my uni
I might just stick with lifting.

Muay Thai it is then. But if you end up not liking it, you can go back to karate. If you find the class not that engaging, it's ok, it's hard to find a good Dojo.
Does martial arts training pair better with lifting or something like calisthenics or a mix?
