Only Muay Thai for fun now, was doing it seriously (for me) up until I was 40 & then the 4th nipper came along (4 boys, only 6 yrs apart from 1st to 4th) & the Mrs said helpppppp me
and TBH I agreed with her so left it for 4 yrs and then started up again coz I love it - fuck old mans golf when you can take 50 punches a round from a 25yr old athlete but still get the pleasure of landing one or two meaningful somethings of ya own
Plus my kids are into it, they do it 2 or 3 times a week, plus a night at a boxing club (I do a night there as well - frickin kills me more than thai tbh - the dood that runs it is a fitness nutter), they also dabble in BJJ but its a slow burner for kids compared to thai so takes a second seat by a long shot.
Anyway, I seem to remember it was 3-4 months before I was completely happy taking a shot on it, and I seem to remember 3-4 weeks out. Second time it happened was 2 days before I was fighting a Leicester Square in London, was meant to be having a v gentle no knees sparring session at a mates gym with an East European who it turned out spoke no English and in the first clinch hammered a knee into my ribs - fucker! 40 odd tickets sold to family etc and I couldnt even stand up straight, let alone fight. I remember my trainer tellin me on the phone before he saw me that everyone fights with injuries (like I didnt know) but there was no way that was happening.
Dunno if I should say it coz it might be just me as the same area has gone twice and I dont wanna plant any seeds but every time I take a decent shot in the same area I get a millisecond of 'oh shit' assuming its gonna go again.
