Ive been doing muay thai for a while and i train with about 6-10 guys who each train different styles and the muay thai leg kicks drive them nuts. also, its very easy to pick up if you already box western style. you use mostly the same puches so all you have to do is learn to kick, clinch, and fight with a little different style...upright and lean back to avioid leg kicks, don't get low ect. oh yeah the clinching is bad ass too. especially if you learn a few throws so you can set up strikes and throw/takedown applications from the same type of clinch. its very cool
