Is Muay Thai / kickboxing safe for beginners, and what protective gear do I need?

Short answer: Muay Thai is safe when taught progressively—start with technique and light partner drills; wear mouthguard, hand wraps, and shin guards for sparring or contact drills. Coaches enforce tapping, controlled contact, and safety rules for beginners.

Details: For your first few classes you likely won’t spar; loaner gear is often available. If you plan to spar, invest in a good mouthguard, cloth hand wraps, 16–18 oz gloves for beginners, and shin guards for protection. Tell instructors about any injuries beforehand.

How often should I train Muay Thai to see progress?

Short answer: Train 2–3 times per week for steady progress in technique and conditioning; beginners can start with 1 class per week and increase frequency as fitness improves. For competitive goals, 4–6 sessions per week plus conditioning is common.

Details: Combine skill classes with light conditioning and recovery (mobility, stretching). Consistency matters more than intensity; aim to increase training gradually to avoid injury.
