Hello everyone,
I've been wanting to do a sport for a long time now, and martial arts really stood out to me, specifically Thai Boxing or Muay Thai. Purely for self defence, perhaps competition later on.
So I looked around for some Muay Thai schools near me and found a few good ones.
I will most likely visit them at the end of the school year (I am 16 years old then), but I have a few questions:
A. Are there any specific things I should look out for when searching for a good Muay Thai school?
B. Are there any questions I should ask the trainers/teachers before I sign up?
C. Is Muay Thai a good martial art to start with? (I never really studied any martial art before, so no experience)
D. I heard it's good to look out for a school that also allows a lot of sparring, is this true, and if so, why?
Thanks in advance!
