Is one 2 hr class a week enough to learn muay thai?

I%26#039;m thinking of starting a 6 week beginner%26#039;s muay thai program that has one 2 hr class each week for 6 weeks. I always thought that in order to learn something, it%26#039;s through muscle memory and you have to practice more than once a week to actually learn it.





Maybe i%26#039;m just over eager and wait till I%26#039;m done with the 6 week program before I start practicing more often?





So..what do you think?|||It will take you along time to get good at two hours a week. that being said anybody that only trains at the school on the nights they have class is fooling themselves. I would say take the class, but make sure that you practice what they show you for at least an hour a day at home. If you cant afford a heavy bag you can take some foam padding and wrap it around a post. You will not be able to strike extremly hard until you are conditioned, but it will still get you used to contact, and it is better than nothing.|||yep - two hours p/wk is better than nothing, but come on, he hasn%26#039;t started and you%26#039;re telling him he needs at least 20 hours per wk...

|||it is possible in Muay Thai, the they will work you so hard you will need the rest of the week to recover.... and after six weeks your body may be ready for more.... it%26#039;s a lot of fun... but it can be very very hard on your body... especially when your first start... but i suggest you get a heavy bag and practice at home... good luck|||Muay Thai fighters in Thailand trains every single day the entire day. To me it%26#039;s kind of less than enough depending on how intensely you train during that 2 hours.|||oh god no!


15-20 hours for a real mt fighter who really wants to learn|||If you do it once a week, you learn half as fast as doing it twice a week.





as for waiting or not, do whatever you feel like. there%26#039;s no harm done, either way.|||so you like muay Thai too yeah my dad teaches me muay Thai so i do it a lot well good luck all i can tell you is to do a lot of road work if you want to go into kick boxing it would be fun if i could spar with someone that not my dad.|||yes it is but you must practice at home, and try to incorporate it in to your daily life


at least you are trying to do it, and then later after you are hooked you want to be around it more and find more time for it. good luck|||You certainly won%26#039;t become the best MArtist you can be, but like other people said, it%26#039;s better than nothing. Just going will get you thinking about the moves and will build your confidence. It might also eventually help you against an untrained aggressor, that depends on how much you%26#039;ll actually pick up (it depends on you).


Also, going once a week will certainly lead to more. When you discover how much you enjoy MA, you will certainly find more time/money to go more often.





Happy training.|||I cant say for sure but its better than no classes a week right. it really depends on your expectations on how quickly you want to become profcient at Muay Thai
