Question

Is muay thai (kickboxing) good for a girl?

Answer 1

It would be good for anyone tuff enough for it

Answer 2

Muay Thai is good for everyone, who wants a strong stand up game. I'd also suggest backing your training up with brazilian Jiu-jitsu as well, but then again this all depends on what you need it for.

Answer 3

No! It's good to learn and know. You'll be in a disadvantage in a fight against a guy. Because of the clinch and knees, and elbows.  Wing Chun you'll be able to beat him in speed and power with those small movements.

Answer 4

It all depends what you mean by good... it terms of fitness, it is probably the most demanding of martial arts (and muay thai fighters are superbly conditionned).

In terms of sparring, it probably is more violent than other martial arts, as it has come to adopt a rule set close to modern boxing (mind you, it was worst in the days of Muay Boran, Muay Thai's ancestor, as the fights often resulted in crippling injuries).

However, if you intend to take up Muay Thai, nothing forces you to spar, and if you decide to, other fighters will take it easy with you at first.

Answer 5

Of course, muay thai is for everyone even a girl. It keeps her in shape, builds up her stamina, strengthens her, and helps defend herself in tough situations and it turns her entire body into a weapon. One more thing, muay thai isnt kickboxing.
