Muay Thai Intentions

The reason why I decided to start taking Muay Thai at Ralph Gracies in Dublin is because I wanted to learn how to defend myself in a situation if I needed to. Well, thats what my intentions were at first, but once I began actually training and getting into it, I was doing it for more of the discipline, the technique, and the skill. I realized that training takes a lot of time, 3 times a week for a couple hours at a time, and it takes a lot of dedication and hard work. It is a big commitment, but I really enjoy it.
