Hi everyone, I've always wanted to train muay Thai and learn the art of Muay Thai kick boxing. I've tried to train in the past, but due to my weight I was finding it hard to keep up with the class and had to always take a break and go stand outside to recover my breathe and cool down, anyway long story short I got discouraged and stopped.

Now here's what I want to know. Once I start to lose a significant amount of weight and get my cardio health up, would I be able to train muay Thai again? Or am I asking for trouble in wanting to go down that route?

I'm sure you will find it so much easier once you lose weight ? I was impatient to get back to training but looking back, it was probably 4 months post surgery before I felt like I could go hard, before that I walked, did lighter stuff etc. After that I just felt better and better. You will work out what you need to eat to train, and there are some awesome knowledgeable peeps on this site.

You should be able to. I was never really able to run before at a higher BMI but now at a lower BMI my endurance has skyrocketed.

Mauy Thai? I thought you meant Mai Tai! ?

You totally should be able to! I am looking into taking Krav Maga classes if I can figure out how to work it into my already packed exercise schedule.

It shouldn't be a problem. I was training in Wing Tsun. I stopped for surgery, and my doctor said I was fine to go back after about 6 weeks, or whatever my pain levels were. I'm going back next week.

And excited for you and Train well, stay centered and I believe you will have success!

Yes I really been doing lots of research, I'm trying to get as much knowledge as possible, my surgery is on the 6th next month.

Thank you. [emoji2]

I've always wanted to do Muay Thai, I used to do kick boxing back in the day. But I'm hoping I can start muay thai in the future. I'm 5 weeks post op.
