hey marina.. just wanted too ask, i've been thinking of doing muay thai for a while seeming i used to do boxing but i didnt wanna wreck my nose lol... as defence and too see if i can learn it!!
how much do you have too hurt your shins?? seeming i do alot of running!
do they make u slam them against palm trees?? I've seen some pretty gross movies, please help
thanks heaps for your time..

So far I've managed to avoid the palm tree treatment except on a Friday night when it's usually accidental. I'm the only girl in my club that has so far started sparring, but the guys are usually very kind to me as I'm about half the weight of most of them but very strong for my size. When we spar we have to wear shin guards and all novice fights make full protection a must so the shins hold out well! It really is worth giving it a go it's very invigorating, a great cardio work out and I would say my upper body strength has increased probably two fold since starting. Let me know if you decide to give it a go!!

I will let you know! thanks heaps..
