Do i have a good body type to be successful in muay thai?

I am 18 140 pounds and 5%26#039;9 no experience in muay thai|||you are pretty lean. im 5%26#039;7 145lbs so we are pretty similar. from what i see most thai boxers from thailand arent bulky but very defined. it wouldn%26#039;t hurt you to put on a lil bit of mass though, for the same problem i have. i have a high metabolism and naturally pretty lean but going through the conditioning that you go through training in muay thai i gain easily drop down to 130lbs if im not careful.





but anyways dont really be too concern about your body type until you are ready to compete then you and your coach can decide which weight class you%26#039;ll do the best in. for now just focus on skill and experience|||You%26#039;re totally fine. It wouldn%26#039;t hurt you to put on 15-20 pounds of muscle if you can. Either way it%26#039;s about technique over strength.|||Dude. Body type doesn%26#039;t make for a good fighter. If you are smart, then you%26#039;ll be able to adapt a fighting style to your body type.|||That all depends on the teacher if your teacher sucks 9x%26#039;s out of 10 you will to. but it is hard to find an authentic muay thai teacher in the U.S most are washed up hand me downs using their own versions of the art that was invented for more brutal purposes. If you happen to find one check his credentials. The size of your body should be made ajusted to fit the style. if that stye is%26#039;nt for you then try something else like hapkido or tang soo do, or kenpo karate.|||Yes.





It doesn%26#039;t matter what your body type is, you can adapt it to your technique.
