A lot of people think it’s too late to start Muay Thai.
I see it all the time — people in their 30s, 40s, even 50s wanting to train but unsure if they belong on the mats.
The truth is, martial arts is one of the only sports where you can walk in as a beginner and still learn directly from world-class fighters.
Today I got to spend time with Lerdsila (Lerdsila Chumpairtour) — one of my favourite Muay Thai fighters — and ask him about people wanting to start starter later in life.
His message was simple: it’s never too late to begin, as long as you start properly and stay consistent.
This is a sport for life, not age.
