I%26#039;ve done a lot of research on Muay Thai. I know what club I want to join and how much the classes will be. I%26#039;ve even started getting up early to jog and stuff like that in order to be ready for the training. I%26#039;ve asked once or twice before but I just can%26#039;t convince her. How do I change her mind?|||Have you asked your parent why s/he won%26#039;t let you learn? Muay thai is %26#039;no worse%26#039; than learning any of the other martial arts. My 2 kids started learning karate at ages 7 and 12 years old respectively and it%26#039;s been good for them.
Why don%26#039;t you take your parent along to watch a muay thai class, it might put her mind at rest.
Good luck!|||What are her reasons for not letting you take Muay Thai? Is she worried you%26#039;ll get hurt or is it that she can%26#039;t afford to pay your gym fees?|||Tell her it is excellent for discipline and also self esteem ,which we all need and tell her it will give you confidence to work better in school.|||Start practicing Muay Thai by respecting your mother. Ask her to have a conversation if you haven%26#039;t. But respect her decision.|||She%26#039;s your mom and you have to do what she says. Sorry, but them%26#039;s the breaks.
The good news is that you%26#039;re only five years from being an independent adult, at which point you can practice Muay Thai to your heart%26#039;s content...or until your thighs give out from all the bruises, whichever comes first.|||First answer yourself this.
1.Why wont she let you.
2.Do you really like Muay Thai.
3.Will you be prepare for this.
These are some reasons on why parents wont let they%26#039;re kids take a Martial Art.
1.They are afraid you will get hurt.
2.They dont want OR cant afford the prices.
Once you know why she wont let you ask her and try to work on that problem.Say things like %26quot;I wont get hurt%26quot; or %26quot;I%26#039;m ready for this y%26#039;know%26quot; but if it%26#039;s economics then you wont be doing a Martial Art anytime soon.So you are gonna have to watch vids. then.|||ask her to take you to all the martial arts schools in town. find a good school.
how do you even know that the club you want to join is any good?
there is no best art, only best artists. the quality and frequency of the training will far outweigh the style being trained in.
find a good school, not a good style.
check out all the schools in your area, take free classes.
ask to see their contact drills.
never sign a contract. never pay for rank testing.
look for a clean school with respectable people|||Promise her you won%26#039;t fight, and tell her that you just want training for self defense and keep your promise. It worked for me til I choked out one of the students for bullying me. Then I joined the Army for combatives training. Hell I should%26#039;ve choked someone out a long time ago. Now they pay me to do this and not the other way around.|||Why won%26#039;t she let you join? Money? Are the classes to brutal? Do your classes offer optional sparring? Maybe that could be one way to ease her into it. You could still get the basics down until you warm her up to the idea of you sparring.
If you can come up for the money for lessons that may be one less excuse for her to say you can%26#039;t do it.|||TELL YOUR MOM PLEASE IN MUAY THAI.............|||pick a fight at school and get your @$$ kicked and tell your mom that you want to learn muay thai for self defense so that you won%26#039;t get beaten up again.lol
NO PAIN, NO GAIN!!! lol
good luck!|||tell her all the good things it will do for you. You%26#039;ll be healthier and fitter for life, you%26#039;ll be safer on the streets as in if someone tries to hurt you you%26#039;ll be able to defend yourself, it teaches you discipline and respect, you%26#039;ll be generally a better person as a result of it.You sound like youd be really comitted to it too, just keep asking her, or ask her why she doesnt want you to do it...you dont get hurt in training, i think most martial arts have a rule about no contact in class, or at least my school is very strict about it and people i know from other arts all say that too.
in todays environment i think youre at a great age to start learning, its pretty important now for everybody that they know to defend themselves.
maybe you get her to go to the school with you and watch a class, most schools let you join in your first class for free so you can see if you like it first, then she can talk to the head instructor and they will xplain to her that theres nothing to worry about.
i think it wou;d be a great thing for you to learn, good luck xx|||it really depends on why she wont let you.
Muay Thai can be dangerous but that is the same for all martial arts, and sports for that matter.
What you see in the UFC and in the movies does not reflect a begginner session, not in the slightest.
A typical setion will start off with warm up exercises, going through the techniques, then sparring.
Depending on where you train, there may be more experienced trainers. But you dont need to worry about this, because they will go at a comfortable pace with you.
Whenever I train with new people, I step down a notch so they can gradually get into it, and it is the same with everyone else in my classes. Experienced fighters will only go full out in competition or against other fighters with experience.
It doesn%26#039;t mean it%26#039;ll be an easy ride because you still have to learn eventually. You have to be ready to take a few hits and dish a few out too.
Once you get into it, you%26#039;ll enjoy the fitness and confidence you can gain from it and this is a benefit unique to martial arts. It is great to have the ability to defend yourself against danger but also be willing to avoid confrontation unless its completely necessary.
If the problem is money though, I would wait until either you parents can fund you, or you get a part time job and can pay for yourself. You%26#039;ll feel better about it that way and so will your parents.
