This is Kumrom Vaitayanon (Master K), working with Kaensak Sor.Pleonchit this past weekend in Sewell, NJ. Master K was a professional fighter in the 50's/60's, with over 70 professional fights. He will be turning 70 years old later on this year.... Doesn't look like MuayThai has had any adverse effects on him at all!
You have to take some things into consideration. Master K knew when to call it quits (ring fighting), but he maintained a daily training regimen. He takes care of himself. He doesn't smoke, he doesn't drink. He stays active....
It's not just a sport, it's a lifestyle! |
To be fair i have personally met many punch drunk old former thai boxers and they all had a bit of a screw loose. But we arent talking about acheiving that kind of fight record in the west are we.
You have to be careful, i mean i would be careful even more so with western boxing, the amount of sparring and head shots in that leaves people punch drunk too.
Its not just the fights a lot of the damage is done during the training.
My advise is to do it for a few years really hard then tone it down and you should be ok.
With anything there are risks but you dont want to hide away all your life either do you.
