Generally, smoking takes away 10-15% of your endurance, so of course it can be done, you just have to train harder.

Actually when you smoke, now matter how hard you train, you can not have maximum lung power. Not to mention the cillia in your throat that are burned. Its not to say that just cause someone smokes means they dont have stamina. i go through at least one 30 mintue match every two weeks and stamina is not usually a problem. My biggest problem is that i like to stand more then grapple and tie up even though my main training is ju jitsu. I would say i feel way more comfortable on the ground, i just trust my power just as much. and i havent been KO knocked yet, i have been Knocked though. Knee to the temple.

Dont flatter yourself kiddo. Ive got 14 years to my name. and dont think that cause i have been being different today that i cant still put an ass whoopin on someone when called for. But nice attempt at trolling

Besides, Muai thai is a power style. Lots of force with not much blocking. I have done aikido, so all you power moves would work against you, i done a little training in Kav Magra, which for those that dont know specializes in teach oneself to take pain with little or no pain. Plus the Brazilian JuJitsu. so as soon as you go on the groung your in my Realm. But i am flattered by your dreams.

Can you not socialise with your mates without smoking? Or are you at hat agte where its "cool" to smoke with freinds...Honestly, if your able to quit smoking, just quit. Dont keep smoking so you can socialise with smokers...
