I have another myth to dispel.

#2. Old retired Thai Boxers suffer from a variety of disabilities and they have horrible arthiritis in their legs.

This is simply untrue. I've consulted with people who train in Thailand and they all agree that this is just another horror story.

Retired Thai boxers often still fight in the Muay Thai Shows at local bars. These aren't as serious as the real thing obviously, but its still a fight, and often they will accept all challengers.

Also, many retired Thai Boxers become trainers.
