Finally signed up for a Martial Arts class!!!

Im starting off with Muay Thai to get into the groove! Its a style of kickboxing so there will be a lot of cardio, which I need badly. Ive been wanting to get back into martial arts for SO LONG so I am so F-ing excited about this! Im actually taking my first class tonight Once I get more accustomed to the cardio and the classes, I plan on also taking Jiu Jitsu on top of the Muy Thai.
This is something I KNOW will help me in so many aspects of my life right now. Because my biggest issue is social anxiety, which these classes will help me with greatly because I really enjoy this stuff and feel comfortable doing it with others. Im also gonna get in better shape which in turn will raise my confidence and self-esteem. And lastly, its gonna get me off my ass and motivate me. All these issues are causing a LOAD of trouble in my life, in the area of getting a job and leaving my house without having so much anxiety around people.
Wish me luck! And if anyone here has taken any martial arts classes, any tips and suggestions would be great

Freaking sweet. ^
It will definitely get your mind into the right place to beat down anxiety and social problems.
Any chance you live in Florida? I am going to start training here shortly once i get some more income..

LOL I still cant move!!!! I read that it would start me off a little easier, but that wasnt the case It was a full hour of intense workout! As one of the warmups, he had us doing cartwheels across the room... And my fat ass has never done a single cartwheel my entire life! The class was tough as hell for someone with little experience, but I somehow got through it
tarponio, nah Im not from Florida

Good for you man! I LOVE martial arts training. Most of you probably know that I have done Aikido for a long time. I must say that it has changed my life for the better. I really hope you see the same kind of change in your life as a result of it.

Should we turn this into the typical martial arts thread where we start talking about "my martial art can beat up your martial art"?

I just started Jujitsu myself, I did judo when I was younger.. but stopped going. It's something I regretted for along time. I've been wanting to do it for so long, so I just said fuck it and did it. Loving it .
It's one of the few things in my somewhat monotonous existence that I actually look forward to . I've got my first grading in just over 3 weeks .
