So...are you too old for Muay Thai?

[@scottcraig4666]

I'm 62 and just returned from Muay Thai camp in Thailand. I have no intentions of fighting in the ring. But I still train hard 2-4 hours daily 6x weekly. It keeps me in exellent physical condition and a great sense of confidence. Don't let age be a reason not to practice Muay Thai !!!

[@oldmanstillcan]

Love it, definitely inspires me to begin Muay Thai training at 52!

[@scottcraig4666]

@@oldmanstillcan Go for it. 52 is still young. Muay Thai will keep you young for many, many years...👍

[@geedub2019]

I'm going to be 50 this year and would love to get into Muay Thai, can you share the camp you were at? Cheers

[@scottcraig4666]

@@geedub2019 If your going to Thailand, fitness street in Phuket is very popular. Many gyms there accomondate all levels. Rattachai, Dragon, Tiger and many more. Rattachai is where I did my training. Great coaches and very friendly !

[@john-wu2zb]

Difficult to believe you train hard... Muay Thai takes a heavy toll on the body, how are your joints holding up?

[@evevondelft5328]

I am 55 and started Muy thai in January and loving it! Doing it twice a week for fitness! Never to old to start!

[@stever5224]

Wow, encouraging I’m 56 and wanting to start training soon.

[@Joobkl]

I'm 40 and started doing Muay Thai again. I used to do it in my 20s. Now in best shape for a long time

Never too old to start anything!

I'm 63 and started Muay Thai at the age of 62. Now I did do martial arts for 7 years in my twenties so I had some experience but it had been almost 40 years since I last did it. 6 months in and after losing 20 lb I had my very first fight against a 37-year-old Australian. I knocked him out in the first round. Since then I've had three additional fights and I'm 4-0. They tell me that I fight like a 30-year-old which is very inspiring. I do not feel my age at all and I still feel like I'm in my twenties. I run twice a week but only 5 mi each time. I am in the gym 1 to 2 hours a day 4 to 5 days a week. I don't drink much even though I still smoke but I always get my 8 hours of rest so my body can recuperate.

[@stevewockner4060]

I started at 63, now 66. Just love it. Train 3 times a week. Had 3 weeks in Thailand last year. Going again next year. Neva gunna stop!!

[@saatara]

I'm 39, and my goal is to fight my first fight before turning 40. I started Muay Thai when traveling Thailand in 2017. I still have 5 months before turning 40.. Cardio workout is now my biggest obstacle, but not gonna back away from my dream

[@samchen2618]

As a 41yrs old lady who learn swimming at early 30s i would say never too late. Going for mine first muay thai lesson soon

[@oldmanstillcan]

Right on brother! Im 52 and am just now learning how to swim.

[@john-wu2zb]

How did it go? To be fair, Muay Thai is a lot harder on the body than swimming...

Great video brotha, I am 36 and I do want to compete nothing crazy but I do want to have a few fights. Just to set some goals to train harder for reason

[@nikkid328]

I'm 38 and signing up for my first class!

[@barrastoop]

I started my Muay Thai journey about a year ago and i'm now 30. Although I wish I'd had started Muay Thai sooner (or even known about it), I'm glad I discovered it because it's been a great addition to my life for my health & confidence. It's never too late to better yourself

[@ninjamaster7724]

I just got back into Muay Thai (& boxing at the same gym) at 45 yrs old.I used to do kickboxing when i was in my mid 20's until my early 30's and so far,so good.I'm loving it.

[@danielpaddonshealingspace2481]

I'm 46 and just started a month ago. I started with my son who is 15 who encouraged me. I really enjoy it my flexibility at first was horrendous used to get sharp pain down my right leg when kicking not anymore I feel much fitter for it love it.

[@jediguruhagan]

Hi it's Tim. We met at the Kaensak and Neugsium seminar. I realize I've been watching your videos for a while and send them to friends and students constantly. Thank you for being such a positive influence on the muay thai community

[@jassem3333]

I'm 50 years old and I want to try muay thai basics somewhere in Thailand.

[@BurnxyK]

I'm 24 years old and have had a crippling addiction to Cannabis since the age of 16 I have smoked daily and have recently made the decision I want to stop and get myself fit and pick up mixed martial arts, at times I think at 24 it's far too late for me to even start but seeing people in their 30s-60s getting started gives me a little more confidence and hope I can do it.

[@propheticrain-maker1486]

24 is a good age my bro. You'll be fine.

[@john-wu2zb]

How is it going, mate? I can relate to your situation... Trust me, 24 is nowhere near too late. I hope you have/will give it a go, you'll be amazed at how much better you feel within just a few months.

[@James-ps4rc]

I also started when giving up weed. Best decision ever, gave me focus discipline and confidence.

[@derindividuelleklonkrieger6172]

I started last year with the age of 27 myself. Dont hesitate guys. I know the first step is hard but its worth it. Within a year it gave me so much already. Confidence in myself, stamina, endurance. It does a lot for your body AND your mind. Also you get to meet great people which is always nice :D

[@arturogotti3790]

Do you compete?

[@thomasklein8559]

47 and just got started...like it a lot!

[@AndysArcad3]

Love your video, I am 39 and just had my first Muay Thai class last night. My 13 yo started and I thought it would be a great activity to enjoy with him and a great way to get in shape.

[@alexanderbarkey3460]

I started Muay Thai almost two years ago. I'm 53 years old now and I'm doing pretty good it's hard physically when I'm sparing guys half my age. Like the coach says leave your ego at the door...and everyone does.

[@CombatCultureUSA]

100%

[@RenzoRavioli]

I'm 58 and started 2 months ago. Gotta say it's not easy but I feel the benefits will outway the initial challenges

[@DTjoshtruction]

The fact you started at 27 is crazy to me, Im 25 but want to train up to become a pro fighter because im falling in love with the sport. Im also being realistic with it but if I can at least have a fighter career and have a good number of amateur fights thats enough for me, and Im willing to put the work in. Thank you for this video

[@taraalzangana9135]

I’m 41 years old and I started at 40 , I hope one day to be able to participate in the championship 😊

[@kirkshammett94]

I’m currently 28 and started a few months back, it sucks I didn’t start sooner but I will make the most of it. And hopefully compete eventually!

[@arturogotti3790]

Did you compete

[@daripada2152]

Agreed no limitation in terms of age when learning any kind of exercise to include muay thai and other sport fighting or other martial arts. To know first the gym is good to include how they train and the time schedule. A trial class is always good to test one time up to three or four times and so forth. I am very keen of martial arts since my younger days but not interested to be a fighter athlete just doing it as a hobby at the same time developing my career path in the working place now retired possessing more time for muay thai. I am now 69 joint muai thai class when I was 54 , and still visiting the gym once a week during these 15 years. Yes for sure I am not young anymore having lower speed than the younger days but that is ok, I am not going to fight any one, but do have the skill to protect myself, the interesting parts knowing more people, friends and good social life among the membership of the club, attending seminar, or muay thai boxing competition match, meeting more and more people. Other day I train by myself do light jogging in the morning play the skipping other warming up, do the shadow boxing and others therefore when visiting the gym just to practice my skill this is a lot of fun, thank you very much to all of the muay thai gurus to make me feeling good as I do. In addition good things and benefits no doubt keep me feeling fit and good for purpose. Thank you very much Combat Culture you brought up valuable insights regarding what sort of exercise to be done.....sawadikaarp🙏🙏
