Cool What should a beginner expect from training?

Hi.

I've recently taken an interest in Muay Thai. I've researched it somewhat, but i'm still very ignorant about it.

Could you write about what training is usually like? If someone isn't interested in getting their nose broken and unreasonable head tramua - should they look elsewhere? I'm not afriad of getting kicked around some, but permanent head injury does concern me.

I'm mainly interested in the fitness and practical self-defense aspects and have no desire to compete. I may down the line, but probably not.

Am I going to be expected to sparr hard (knees and kicks to the head type stuff)? I called the training place Friday, and they haven't gotten back to calling me yet to answer my questions.

Thanks
