    Excellent form of self defence.

    Very simple body weapons with very simple applications.

    1:Would Muay thai good for self defence for him?
    2: Is it practical or are there lots of traditions?
    3: Is there stretching and push ups etc?
    4: Do you have to spar at early stage.
    5: is it OK to go and watch a session?


    1: Muay Thai is one of the more reliable martial arts for self defence.
    2: There are traditions in every martial art, so yes in Muay Thai there are certain traditions, whether they are mandatory or not depends on the gym.
    3: There is a lot of conditioning exercise and stretching in Muay That Classes.
    4: This varies widely from gym to gym, some have you spar on your first night, some wont allow you to until the coach is sure you have some basic understanding of technique.
    5: Shouldn't be a problem, but the best thing to do would just take a class on your first visit, as watching can get a little boring tbh.

    Hope that helps.

    Thanks for the info guys;)
    One more thing are the movements straight and basic? I cannot recall the term that describes this, but I have read that under duress of attack the body won't be able for fine motor movements or fancy techniques and straight forward techniques are best

    This is a great martial art and I would recommend it as practical and very direct.
