muay thai is great but you better be ready to work your fuckin ass off, they will work you like a dog. we have a muay thai program at my gym that i sometimes attend (just for the workout mostly). its pretty brutal, and i consider our program very easy, all things considered. it definitely helped me get in shape though, i've lost about 35 pounds in the last year and my cardio is ten times better. MT is no joke though, be prepared to get hit in the face a lot and to beat the shit out of your shins. it will hurt a lot, i'm not tough enough to do it on a regular basis.
however form MT i've learned to love the clinch... when i fight the first thing i do is close the distance, get them in the thai clinch and start throwing knees- most people have absolutely no idea what to do, and even the ones that do need to have pretty good composure once the knees and elbows start flying. from there i'll usually go for a judo-style hip toss, or maybe shoot for a double if they're shutting down my knees. then we're on the ground which is my strong point..
anyway i'm off topic but the point is stick with your judo and definitely run at the first sign of a "death touch" or other mcdojo crap.
