I've been doing Muay Thai for 12 years, it's definitely not a longevity sport, usually you blow one or both of knees out from checking (blocking) kicks. I trained in Bangkok, Thailand for about three years and had about 30 fights in Mae Sot about 20 miles outside of Burma. Their a little crazy about the sport over there, you can strike with your elbows, knees and headbutts and obviously your fist (6ounce gloves) In my opinion of all the Kick Boxing, Tae Kwon Do, PKA Muay Thai is the best and most dangerous...you can play football, basketball and tennis, you can't play Muay Thai. Sokaku is partially correct there is style of fighting in Burma that they practiced there but I was in Mae Sot 20 miles outside of Burma, still in Thailand and they still called it Muay Thai, whenever I had my matches, Knees, elbows and headbutts all were legal. I was never in Burma, Westerners aren't really welcomed there.

Santana D., what you saw in Burma wasn't muay thai but Burmanese (is that the right spelling?lol) boxing, it's different, and yes they're crazy there, it has almost no rules aside from standing up.
I do muay thai too, and I love it.

Yes. I have been doing it for 3 and half year. i had five fights, three wins and two losses. I love the sport but what really suck is in USA it is so hard to find opponent of my weight so I often end up have no fight or fight someone heavier.
