Go for it, I started when I was 18. This art will make you a real striker and you will be in excellent shape. I went from 279 lbs to 235 lbs in three months of Muay Thai training.

Walk, consider and try this: Verbalize your fear, using present tense language. Example: "They're going to think I'm a wuss!" Or, "They're thinking I'm a wuss!" The 1st sentence describes what you experience when you think about going to that gym, or when there and you're thinking about getting out there on that floor. The 2nd sentence describes the feeling when you are there, in front of others.Originally posted by walkwithfaith View Postdamn, im *****n scared. i dont have any background in any form of martial arts. im afraid of what people in the gym may think of me when i go there! haha
For the both sentences, rehearse from memory, if necessary, what you saw others doing. What were they doing? Probably caught up in their own private worlds and concerns, right? So, rehearse that as your reaction to your thought-feelings above.
Sort of like this: "They're going to think I'm a wuss - no, they're caught up in their own worlds, just as I am in mine. Here, I'll prove it to myself, that guy over there, the one that looks like he is starring at me - what is his garndfather's name (something you don't know). I don't know. Why? Because I'm not a mind reader. So my thinking he/they will think/are thinking I'm a wuss is just my own fear. I'm the one fearing I'll be a wuss. And that's cool. I'm new at this. I'm supposed to be a little leery of my own performance, otherwise I may try too much too soon and injure myself. That's just me protecting me, but I've misread it. That's all it is. Still, one day, I may find myself taeching someone else, so I'll want to remember what I'm feeling as a beginner, so I can help that other person.
It's been said that one best way to help yourself is to help others. the above is the how. Also, when you make your fear conscious like that it tends to lesson, as part of it's role is in getting your attention.
Anyway, hope this helps. I'd be interested in your feedback after you try this on. Best of luck to you. Mike Brewer Jr, I mean Liberty - LOL!

Yeah I felt the same way when I first started. Not so much worrying what people think, but definitely a little intimidated. Who cares what people think about you in the gym. Everyone started somewhere and those guys that are training next you that have more experience were in your shoes at some point so don't worry about it and just have fun training. I'm addicted to Muay Thai.Originally posted by walkwithfaith View Postdamn, im *****n scared. i dont have any background in any form of martial arts. im afraid of what people in the gym may think of me when i go there! haha

wow this topic went south real quick.
I would go for it if you want to do it, man. It should be as simple as that, imo. You want to learn kickboxing? Then go get started. You want to have a level 75 shadow specced priest, then break out the wrist brace.
Best of luck.
