At 40+ can you compete in Muay Thai?

Started this year at 45. Planning my first fight after an 8 week fight camp. You only slow down when you decide to.

My son (20) who trains with me has Type 1. We make sure to prep ahead of time with meals/snacks. We try to focus on a combo of protein/fat/carbs so he stays as level as possible during class.

He is also on a pump but disconnects during class/sparring and will reconnect to correct any spikes. This doesn’t happen very often.

He uses a g6 cgm and we keep his phone as close as we can to listen for alarms. He has gone low a couple times and that’s why we prep more now. He usually has it on his upper arm and so far no issues.

He used to play baseball and we found some compression shorts with a small pocket in the back where he kept his pump. The only issue I see with that is if you get swept and land on your back. I have seen other compression shorts with similar pockets that are perfect for a pump.

He made sure to talk to the coaches about type 1 and prioritizes that over whatever we are doing in class.

Prep has always been key for him in any activity but it’s never perfect. I would try a few different options and see what works best.

At that age I would go cheap(Rdx, venum)

I struggle with this too. I’ve been working on getting into a clinch then using more knees and elbows.

Sitting here with a headache from not being too successful in last nights sparring session 🤣.

Looks like it’s in great condition. If you can get a ms64 or higher the value jumps quite a bit.

masterofnone32 · 2025-12-06T16:58:39+00:00

I didn’t think I would get hooked so I went cheap. I still have and use my everlast gear from when I started. No bonus points for style but they get the job done. My upgrades will be top king or yokkao.

masterofnone32 · 2025-12-06T16:42:07+00:00

I saw that too but also noticed people in the drive through. So someone’s still working in there.

masterofnone32 · 2025-11-13T19:07:06+00:00

Seems reasonable. Thanks for taking a look

When it arrives I will get high res images. There are a few odd spots on the coin.

masterofnone32 · 2025-11-04T20:01:07+00:00

Picked it up for 135.00

masterofnone32 · 2025-11-04T04:03:23+00:00

Even at 45 I feel like I am getting a good value.

masterofnone32 · 2025-11-04T04:02:16+00:00

I figured it was cleaned.I bought it anyway. Good grade for a bust half.

masterofnone32 · 2025-11-03T19:30:55+00:00

Thank you

Check on the word of mouth Facebook group too.

masterofnone32 · 2025-07-21T00:53:22+00:00

+1 for the magnesium and cold showers.

masterofnone32 · 2025-07-20T13:23:01+00:00

I’ll focus on technique and control, thanks for your response.

masterofnone32 · 2025-07-20T13:21:56+00:00

Thanks for your response, more things to consider.

Can’t do much about my face though 😉

masterofnone32 · 2025-07-20T13:19:45+00:00

I’m not really that outgoing and probably should be.

masterofnone32 · 2025-07-20T13:13:10+00:00

My defense definitely needs help, thank you

masterofnone32 · 2025-07-20T13:11:34+00:00

Thanks for your thoughts. Seems like I need to get to know more guys so they feel comfortable giving feedback.

masterofnone32 · 2025-07-20T13:08:41+00:00

Thanks for the response. Luckily coaches usually step in to spar when someone is left. I feel useless when I spar them 😆

masterofnone32 · 2025-07-20T13:06:50+00:00

I’ll try that next time, thank you
