    Story is, I've got a muscle disorder. CFS. Not progressive or life threatening. But it means I can't go 110% like most in pad work or workouts. Anyone now a club of either art that would accommodate or be understanding in Dublin city.

    Thanks for helping me out. Odd though, I thought a combination of Muay Thai and boxing would be considered, a mixed martial art. Lol ah well. Thanks again.

    A few years ago you'd be right, MMA has progressed into its own art at this stage so a mix of martial arts and MMA are two different things.

    To get back to your question. While at the end of the day it will be up to the head coach of whichever club you choose, I can't see any club having a problem with you going along and training there, most clubs get very young people or old timers dropping in to train so I'd be surprised if anyone bats an eyelid.

    If I were you I'd just go to any club you fancy and train. In this economy a lot of clubs will be happy enough having bodies through the door. Go for it.

    There are plenty of Thai boxing clubs in Dublin, if you let us know where you're based I can let you know where is closest to you

    I would suggest both, each complement one another very well.
