Im 15 and am going take Muay Thai, is it too late?

I am 15 years old and i%26#039;ve been thinking about taking up muay thai, im finding a job to pay for it but, is this too late of age? im thinking about doing submisison wrestling also. I have no experience in any martial arts except i did wrestling for two years.


Any advise on the age or on training would be appreciated.|||You%26#039;re still in the prime age to start learning a Martial Art.





If I may suggest, start with BJJ first rather than Muay Thai. The younger you start in BJJ, the more flexible you are still and more capable you are to reach higher level of BJJ.


BJJ is a very technical MA and will be better for you at that age since it%26#039;s a good development of both physical and technical capability. Plus, since full BJJ sparring is about rolling and grappling, less damage, less explanation to parents.


Once you reach 18-20, take the Muay Thai. The techniques will be easier for you to absorb by then, and if you%26#039;ve been diligent in training and develop the discipline, you will develop your Muay Thai quickly and able to participate in the more rigorous sparring sessions better.





I put emphasize in the sparring sessions as without proper sparring, you will never develop in the martial art you train in properly or reap the full potential of practicing martial art itself.|||Its great man. It will be good to start cuz your not in kid mode no more your getting bigger. So you will understand it more its never to late to start or end anything just put your mind to it and you will be ok. I%26#039;ve seen so many fights when a person on their first fight have won against supposly a living undefeatable win. So go for it what will it hurt to try something new for.





PS. Speed and Agility drills will help you alot in it.|||I started Muay Thai at 17 and have been doing it 25 years now. I don%26#039;t think your too late. Also keep up your Wrestling, its a good skill to have.|||Perfect age to start unless you want to wait until this age
