How long should I train before fighting in amateur Muay Thai?
How long do you guys think I should train before I would be ready for an amateur Muay Thai fight? How about MMA? I’ve taken Muay Thai for about 5 months and BJJ for 2. I go about three times a week but I am considering going everyday except sundays.
Thanks in advance.

It really depends on the individual. Some people are really talented and do not take as much time to get ready for a fight. If you have never fought in your life get lots of sparing in and get the opinion from your trainer and fellow gym partners.
Listen very closely: if you go to a good camp or school (one that has produced good fighters) then you are ready when your coach says you are ready and not a minute before.
Tell him you want to fight and ask him for his advice. But trust him and don’t try to make decisions for yourself unless you’ve trained for 18 months or so and he just hasn’t found anything for you.
If you don’t go to a good camp, you need to go find a good camp.
