I used to be a student and assistant instructor at the Muay Thai Academy International in San Jose, CA. I stopped going about 10 years ago (primarily due to chronic injuries). Today I decided to try practicing my Muay Thai (Thai boxing) techniques to see how they're holding up. Location: Muay Thai Academy International Me: 6' 1", 157 lbs, age 50 Heavy bag: 170-180 lb overstuffed "banana" bag UPDATE: That bag was harder than the ones I used to use most frequently, and my shins and knees felt a little tender from bruising for about two weeks after this workout. But the muscle down the outside of my left shin took four weeks to no longer feel bruised (not surprising--I've always had imperfect form with my left shin kick, which can cause the muscle to take a beating).
