I've trained a couple of Muay Thai gyms, both had a grading system, it's not like Karate with belts etc you get coloured arm bands.

You don't learn patterns like traditional MA like TKD or karate, you have to demonstrate techniques and know the basics of the art etc

You also don;t have to partcipate at all in the grading system unlike TMA

Cool thanks mate.

Anyone got any info on Muay Thai. Quite interested in taking it up. I did Karate for a while, but there wasn't as much fitness as I would have liked and it was way too rigid and structured. Does Muay Thai have belts or stages like Karate?

Have you thought of giving freestyle Karate a go?

Much more fitness orientated, with a bit of tradition.
The guy who runs my club has black belts in Wado Ryu Karate, TaeKwondo and Aikido and he incorporates them all into his Freetyle.

Yes, that sounds like a fundamentally different grading system, what with using coloured arm bands rather than coloured belts. I hear there is a radically new grading system coming in, they're going to use coloured headbands apparently.

This is how karate should be done:

I used to have one of those when I did martial arts as a kid, they were mildly fashionable then though with KK being popular. A grown man in this day and age though, that's cruelty to children, humiliating his son like that, lol
