Does the pain go away?

This post was originally published on this site.

I’ve been to 5 classes so far and today did a lot of kicks on the bags which left my shins bruised like never before and pretty sensitive, and then I did pad work with a partner doing low kicks and switch kicks and even with holding the pads my partners kicks hurt like crazy and managed to bruise my outer thigh, I can’t imagine taking a kick without a pad.

I come from a weightlifting background over several years so I’m used to muscle tearing and building it up with food and rest over time. Will the pain from Muay Thai be similar in that the areas that I consistently kick or get kicked that my body toughens up against it better or that the pain reduces?

I know Muay Thai is a sport of pain but just curious if it’s always going to feel like this.

Appreciate any insight.
