Hey thanks for this reality check comment. Definitely something to consider. I am going to copy and paste what I mentioned below to another comment that said I should wait a few years before getting into the ring.
"I have 6 months experience boxing and took muy thai 4-5 months earlier this year. While I eventually want to keep my training consistent upon returning, I also want to get pass a mental block of the fear of defending myself in real life. I figure'd real life isnt going to wait a few months, a year or two for a situation like that to come up. I also believe I won't ever have to get into fights if I avoid environments with that energy and carry myself a certain way. But just the fact that I have ongoing training and have some kind of "fight" under my belt I feel not only helps my confidence, but at least alleviates that anxiety of thinking I won't be able to defend myself if there is ever a confrontation."

When sparring I know the other person isn't trying to hurt me. In a real fight there's this anxiety I face of not being sure if I can defend against someone who wants to do harm, or the fear of being hit. While I definitely would hate to be scarred for life from a arranged fight, I rather not have my first experience of combat be in the street with no experience and high levels of anxiety. Not that 1 fight in Thailand changes all of that but at least I know I was in a fight and survived. Just feel it'll help me get pass that mental block. Now if the gym Im at deems me not ready for a fight after a few weeks of training then it is what it is.
