Approximately how much time does an average guy need to practice Muay Thai before becoming professional?

I%26#039;ve been practicing for six months already and I can not even get closer to the level of my friends at the gym. Since they%26#039;re all professional fighters, I want to erase that bored look in their eyes while sparring. My fitness level is higher than all of them but on the experience and technical side I can not even begin to compare myself with them.|||if you%26#039;re looking for a shortcut type of solution like those one minute abs deals then you%26#039;ll be very disappointed. 6 months is just the beginning phase. you still have a long road ahead and there are no shortcuts.





you%26#039;re going to put in the time, effort and sacrifice.





how much time do you put in now? how much time do the professional fighters in your gym put in? if they%26#039;re not the same, then there%26#039;s your problem. you want to become professional you have to train like a professional.





In Thailand, fighters train in 3-5 hour sessions twice a day. once in the morning then again in the afternoon. they run 25 miles every morning before starting training too. And they live, eat and sleep in the gym. No time for xbox, parties, girls, chilling with your friends. What they do have is that undoubtable ability to kick ***.





what are YOU doing that can compare to that?





you say you%26#039;re fitness level is better than a professional fighter%26#039;s. ok... i%26#039;ll assume you%26#039;re telling the truth. then perhaps you should use that conditioning as an advantage. press the attack. keep moving forward and wear down your sparring partner. maybe that%26#039;ll erase that bored look. but to be honest, i think after just a few rounds you%26#039;re already breathing heavy and your partner isn%26#039;t. And that%26#039;s why they%26#039;re bored.





but you know what? I%26#039;m not putting you down man. Just telling you the hard cold truth. What you can do is turn all this into a challenge. Make it your motivation. you%26#039;ll be stronger because of it. it won%26#039;t take weeks or months though. It will take years. but then again, if you%26#039;re really dedicated then that won%26#039;t matter right?|||Are they all professional fighters? Or do they just say they%26#039;re professional fighters? Are they actually amateur fighters? Or maybe not even that. I%26#039;ve known people to call themselves fighters when they%26#039;ve never had an actual sanctioned match. Or they say they%26#039;re fighters because they go to the gym and train Muay Thai. I would say if everyone else at your gym is actually a professional fighter, you%26#039;re very lucky. My point is that you don%26#039;t need to worry about what they%26#039;re doing either way. Just keep focusing on your training and you will get better. Six months is a tiny amount of time for you to be expecting miracles.





Maybe you are imagining this %26quot;bored%26quot; look. Besides, who cares how your sparring partner looks? Pay attention to what you%26#039;re doing, not your partner%26#039;s facial expressions. And don%26#039;t expect magic. Diligent training will pay off. |||6 months is not long at all, ask your buddies and just keep up at it. 1 year is about as quick as I%26#039;ve seen people who are seriously prepared to start taking on some amateur bouts and not rushing into it. Keep at it, there are no instant results in the fight game. When you can keep up with your friends who are pros you%26#039;ll likely get a better gauge of where you are and how long it%26#039;ll take you personally.|||you can technically compete wiht as little as 2 years of hard core training. And I%26#039;m talking about Sityodtong in Thailand, not McDojo in anytown USA|||The %26quot;average guy%26quot; can NEVER become a professional!





You need to be %26quot;above average!%26quot;|||Depends on your dedication.|||i am going with acrollux it depends on your deduction
