Roak,

I have been training Muay Thai for over 15yrs and I don't know where many of these other people train or even for how long, but 90% of Muay Thai training has nothing to do with getting hit in the face or sparring. Unless you are planning to be a fighter you will probabally never set foot into a ring. If you are someone who just wants to workout and try something new most of your time will be spent on a bag or with someone holding pads for you.

I have trained at many different places world wide and most of the beginners don't even spar, usually all they do is train. So go for it and try something new.

Best regards,
