Hi guys, nice thread.
I would appreciate some input:
I have been training Muay Thaifor almost three years now (1-2times the week, plus 1time running). It is fun and good for my stamina. However, I hate getting my ass kicked: Bruises, a broken toe, my left leg hurts since a week now, and a recent knock-out made me rethink this sport.
Some years ago I trained Shuai Jiao (Chinese Wrestling). This is tough too, I know. The coach is a good friend. They train once a week. I would fill the rest of the week with eating iron.
What do you think? Is this just me whining about getting punched in the face?^^ I love thai boxing, but this is too tough sometimes. Man, I need some motivation, I guess.

You got knocked out sparring? Is that a normal occurrence in your gym?
Muay Thai is cool, but it sounds like you need a new gym. I can't imagine why they'd be having guys training for fun twice a week go so hard. Are you sparring in big gloves?
