the contender muay thai theme song is done by Hans Zimmerman

Muay Thai is an extremely dangerous sport, although, ring fatalities are very rare, at least, from what is shared with the general public. A Muay Thai match in Thailand is such a bloody spectacle, that footage of the fights is outlawed in many countries, including the United States. It goes without saying; 1) You can get your temples broken by an elbow or knee to the head, or worse, Muay Thai's vicious hits-hard-as-a-major-league-homerunner's-baseball-bat roundhouse. If a Muay Thai roundhouse lands cleanly on the temple, with all its power, and in Many Muay Thai matches it does, it results in death. Because of its seedy nature in Thailand, you will not likely see the REAL statistics regarding ring fatalities. 2) You can get your ribs broken. 3) Or, knees destroyed. Death, brain damage that won't let you walk or talk straight, broken ribs, and the inability to play sports ever again, are the dangers of Muay Thai as it is practiced in Thailand. However the actual training is quite safe; if you avoid the "hardcore" competition, you'll be fine.

yes but it is not a good idea. they could easily break your hip so if you try I say make sure there not ready for it.

Yes!

What is the "best' is always a matter of opinion. People study Martial Art for many different reasons, and each system has many benefits. Success comes from taking the knowledge and skills taught in any particular system, practicing it thoroughly, and applying it correctly. As for self defense, all of the legitimate and recognized systems have viable techniques and tactics that could work for real self defense. It is never a valid question to pit one system against another because sport rules usually favor one or the other depending on rules applied, and this has nothing to do with the real-life application of any of the arts.

In a real fight, the system does not win or loose. It is up to the individual to have been taught correctly, practiced to a point of excellence, and then applied in an ideal fashion. With the enlightened knowledge of any authentic Martial Art system, a Master knows that there is no superior art, and any two masters facing each other are typically wise enough never to fight - so the genuine arts of the master's are never contested in this way. The only one who would make a move on a highly skilled Master is either a fool, or a Master with a bad attitude - - in which case the one with the bad attitude and lack of self control is not a true Martial Artist. Being the aggressor, they place themselves at a greater risk of defeat.

It is a common philosophy among Martial Art Masters that when two tigers fight, onelimpsaway severely wounded, and the other one is killed. Either way, neither wins since the one that survives will likely soon die either from not being able to hunt, or from not being able tofight as well against the next tiger due to his injuries.

The Atkins Diet would be a simple plan to follow.

yes, my friends go there often

Muay Thai kickboxing tends to focus on areas other than the knees and may be your best bet, if you really want to take up kick boxing. It is likely a better idea to simply take up regular boxing, as this takes focus away from the legs completely.

1ST you need to find a competent Muay Thai Instructor. There So many people out that just Plain suck. They might say or advertize like they are teaching muay thai but They are really not!!! they may not a kick or a punch but they don't know what Muay thai truely is... Next Train, when your ready spar. once you can spar with technique then talk to your instructor or kru About getting a fight! One thing I would advise you on once you do get a fight is to be werry bout some of the amateur promotions. Some fight no head gear or shin guards. Which is fine if you are a professional! You are not getting paid as an amateur but you are destroying your body without the compensation!!! if you are going to fight no shin guards go pro!
