If you have a good coach then only if you really want to. 90-95% of people never/ rarely fight in the ring, content with the fitness/ confidence/ sparring aspect of training. If you do want to be prepared, very prepared: Thai fights, although short (3 x 2 min for novices – 5 x 3 min for professionals) are incredibly fast paced, with constant attacking throughout and little of the backing off you see in most arts. Supreme fitness and body conditioning is a must.
