Muay Thai would be an excellent choice.

To parrot what others have said: Quality of the gym is important.

Another thing I’d add is make sure whatever you choose has live sparring. This rule of thumb alone will eliminate 90% of bullshido gyms. Muay Thai would meet that standard.

Only counter argument I’d have against Muay Thai is the high injury rates. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5315252/

Its been a variety of lib/ultra/anarcho-Bidenist takes. We should hold space for criticism (aka critical support) but this doesn’t seem to be that. More just reddit-tier bad faith garbage.

I’ve seen a disturbing amount of anti-AES rhetoric lately, particularly on the bear site.

Hello everybody stoked to be able to join this awesome community

Imagine as a supposed leftist ‘both sides-ing’ the Ukraine war in 2025. Just another reddit style analysis where history started in 2022 and context doesn’t matter. They’ve had years to come up with a serious analysis on the situation, and THIS is the crap they came up with? Real embarrassing stuff, almost as embarrassing as the Putin psychoanalysis video they made years ago. To drop the video on VICTORY DAY of all dates too, just unbelievably myopic from the deprogram guys once again. Youtubers and podcasters aren’t beating the allegations.
