wow, thanks for all the great info tomsawyer! As to respond to the questions you asked me,
I am about 6'0, and prolly on the little lower medium weight section. I play waterpolo and I swim on a highly competitive level (highschool, college, competitions etc) and spend about 3 hours a day on them. I also weightlift daily, so have quite a good amount of muscle. I plan on practicing every day.
Would knowing muay thai allow me to defend against attackers that are bigger than me? I am the type of person that isn't really into slow movements such as Tai Chi, and maybe Wing Chun altho u did state it is good for upclose? and would like to have fast, powerful attacks to take down an opponent, that is why I am leaning towards Muay Thai. How intense is this fighting style / does anybody know a place to learn this art around the bay area? And even tho this is a pretty stupid question, would a master Wing Chun or Muay Thai fighter be able to defend themselves better?
And on a fun note, anybody know whats the rarest / hardest type of fighting style to learn? Would be sorta fun to know these facts just for kicks :P
