Muay Thai Gerry?

Thinking of doing some training in Muay Thai, watching some of the beginner people do it makes me want to give it a try, not sure how my 47 year old body would respond thou. I would have to lose some weight and work on my conditioning before giving boxing a try. Wouldn't want to be punched in the head but to work on my overall physical condition it might do the job.

A fun sport with Thai people that would allow me to get in better shape to carry my camera gear, sounds like a win/win.
