newm Member Registered: 12/06/05 Posts: 25	I have trained jujitsu for a while now, but i just cant stop thinking about starting muay thai. I live in Bergen/Norway, and there are no muay thai clubs here. Muay thai is something i really want to train, and still continue training jujitsu. What should i do?

Or is there some particular reason for it? Anyway, on your question, either find an MT class that doesnt clash with your ju-jitsu class or choose between the two.

Supremor Professional Poster Registered: 07/22/04 Posts: 2510 Loc: UK	The martial art of MT has many similarities with other striking arts. If you are more interested in the fighting side of things than the cultural aspects, then I would consider finding a kickboxing/ karate/ TKD club, there's bound to be one of them. There are ofcourse differences between MT and other styles, but you will understand MT far better once you have learned a striking art to a good level.

Many of then use MT as the striking portion of their training. Some JKD schools do as well. _________________________ "In case you ever wondered what it's like to be knocked out, it's like waking up from a nightmare only to discover it wasn't a dream." -Forrest Griffin
